NOTES:
■
Once you’ve connected your appliance to your home Wi-Fi
network, it will remain linked even if the power goes out, you
move the appliance, or if you put it in storage for a while.
■
If you replace your wireless router (or get a different Smart
appliance) you will need to repeat this connectivity setup
process.

STEP 2
Router Setup
Press (and hold on some models) the WPS button on the router.
An indicator light will begin blinking.
HELPFUL TIP:
The WPS function on your router is active for 2
minutes. Complete the next step within 2 minutes or you will need
to reinitiate WPS.
STEP 3
Appliance Setup (time sensitive step)
While the router’s WPS indicator light is blinking, touch and hold
CONNECT on the appliance for 5 seconds. The Wireless Status
icon (A) will blink slowly and the Time Display LEDs will animate to
show that the appliance is attempting to connect with the router.
Connection can take up to 2 minutes.
The Wireless Status icon will stay lit upon successful connection;
if not successful, the Wireless Status icon will blink rapidly and
turn off.
Once the appliance connects to your router, the appliance will
automatically attempt connection with the Whirlpool server over
the Internet.
When your appliance is connected to Wi-Fi and successfully
communicating with the Whirlpool server, return to the app and
add an appliance. Choose the option in the app that the appliance
you are adding is already connected to Wi-Fi.
If Your Appliance Doesn’t Connect
If your appliance still fails to connect, refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section of this User Guide, check any
connection instructions for your specific router, and refer to
alternate instructions at
www.whirlpool.com/connect
. If you
have further problems or questions, call the Connected Appliance

How to Use Remote Enable
This feature allows you to turn on the appliance (in Convection
Bake mode) when you are away from home using your mobile
device. The following steps provide a possible scenario on how to
use this feature:
1.
Open the oven door and place food in the oven (if desired).
2.
Close the oven door.
3.
Press REMOTE ENABLE. You should see an icon ( ) light up
in the display to let you know that the appliance can be turned
on using your mobile device.
4.
Use your mobile device to turn on a cooking cycle (e.g.
Convection Bake 350 F).
NOTES:
a.
Only Convection Bake cycle can be remotely activated
(i.e. no features using microwave or convection roast may
be remotely activated).
b.
While the oven is set up and waiting for remote activation (i.e.
between steps 3 and 4 above), the oven door must NOT open.
If the oven door is opened (say by another member of the
family) while it is in “waiting mode”, then REMOTE ENABLE
will be canceled and the remote enable icon will be turned off
from display to indicate this.
