9.3 Software update
Your appliance's software can be updated using the
software update function, e.g. for the purposes of op-
timisation, troubleshooting or security updates.
To do this, you must be a registered Home Con-
nect user, have installed the app on your mobile device

As soon as a software update is available, you will be
informed via the Home Connect app and will be able to
start the software update via the app. Once the update
has been successfully downloaded, you can start in-
stalling it via the Home Connect app if you are in your
home network (Wi-Fi). The Home Connect app informs
you once installation is successful.
Notes

The software update consists of two steps.
–
The first step is the download.

The second step is the installation on your appli-
ance.

You can continue to use your appliance as normal
while updates are downloading. Depending on your
personal settings in the app, software updates can
also be set to download automatically.
¡
Installation takes a few minutes. You cannot use
your appliance during installation.
¡
We recommend that you install security updates as
soon as possible.

communication module installed).

ule (to ensure a secure data connection).

ing this time.
