To do this, you must be a registered Home Con-
nect user, have installed the app on your mobile device
and be connected to the Home Connect server.
As soon as a software update is available, you will be
informed via the Home Connect app and will be able to

has been successfully downloaded, you can start in-
stalling it via the Home Connect app if you are in your

also be set to download automatically.

Installation takes a few minutes. You cannot use
your appliance during installation.

soon as possible.
