Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Re-pair Connectivity
Put both the cooktop and hood into pairing mode simultaneously. The exact procedure varies by model — consult your manual.
Connectivity uses a dedicated wireless protocol, not your home WiFi.
-
2
Reconnect WiFi
Open the Miele@home app. Go to the hood settings and re-enter your WiFi credentials. The hood may need to be put into WiFi pairing mode (usually hold a button combination for 5 seconds).
The hood connects on 2.4 GHz only — 5 GHz networks won't work.
-
3
Power cycle everything
Turn off the hood at the breaker, turn off the WiFi router, wait 2 minutes, turn the router back on first, then the hood.
A fresh network connection often resolves app problem codes.
-
4
Update firmware
Check the Miele@home app for pending firmware updates for the hood. Install any available updates.
Firmware updates can fix connectivity bugs.
