When you open the app, you may choose to login using one your existing platforms.  

Otherwise, please create a new user account.  You should allow push notifications for full 

functionality of alarms, timers and other useful notifications.

The initial connection between your device and the grill uses Bluetooth wireless technology.  

Please be certain Bluetooth is enabled on your device, but do not attempt to add the grill 

from the device settings.  Also, turn off/disable Wi-Fi or disconnect from your home Wi-Fi 

network during this initial set-up.  Turn on the grill, if not already.

In the Vida by PADERNO app, tap the “

+

” to add a new grill.  Your device will scan for grill 

and prompt for confirmation.  Once connected, you may enter a nickname for the grill.  We 

recommend taking a screenshot of this page as it includes the grill’s product ID number, 

which may be needed for tech support.  The Bluetooth icon will be displayed at the top of the 

controller screen while connected.

Now you are ready to connect to your home network.  We recommend always using a Wi-

Fi connection since it provides better communication between your device and the grill.  

During this step, you may be prompted to enable Wi-Fi.  Select your network and enter the 

password.  Now the Wi-Fi icon will be displayed at the top of the of the controller screen.  

Once connection is established, you can disable Bluetooth if you prefer.  The controller will 

always look for the Wi-Fi connection every time it is turned on.  

You are now ready to use the Vida by PADERNO app to control your grill!  Keep in mind that 

you cannot ignite, or start, your grill from the app.  The app allows remote viewing and 

setting of cooking temperature, meat probe temperature, and alarms.  During operation, 

various notifications will be sent to your phone or tablet to keep you informed.

Note: The Wi-Fi connection is not direct between the device and the grill.  Sometimes, due 

to network activity, there may be a delay or variance between what the controller and device 

displays.
