Operating The Hood; Home Connect - Bosch HCP50652UC Manual Del Usuario

Operating the Hood

For Better Results
• The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes
before cooking in order to establish air currents upward
through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture,
grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be
carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.
• Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher
speeds for strong odors or fumes.
• Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented when possible.
• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where
the only air currents are those created by the blower
itself.
• Regular use of the fan system while cooking helps keep
the kitchen comfortable and less humid.
• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.
• For optimal performance, the width of the hood should
equal that of the cooktop or rangetop or exceed it by 3
inches on either side. Install these hoods only with
Bosch blowers.

Home Connect

With Home Connect™, the appliance is Wi-Fi-capable and
can be remotely controlled using a mobile device (e.g.
tablet PC, smartphone). Home Connect™ app offers
additional functions which are a perfect complement to the
networked appliance.
Home Connect™ does not work over Wi-Fi networks that
require browser registration, i.e. a user name and pas-
sword entered via a web browser. You should have a stable
wireless network with good reception and access to the
internet.
If the appliance is not connected to the WLAN network
(home network), it functions in the same way as a typical
hood with no network connection and can be operated as
usual via the Touch Panel.
NOTE: Please ensure that you follow the safety instructions
given at the beginning of this instruction manual and that
these are also observed when operating the appliance
via the Home Connect™ app and when away from home.
Please also follow the instructions in the Home Connect™
app.
NOTE: Operation on the appliance itself always takes
priority, and during this time it is not possible to operate
the appliance using Home Connect™ App.

Cooktop-Hood Sync
You can connect this appliance to a matching cooktop (if
the cooktop supports connection to the hood) and then
control the functions of the hood via your cooktop.
There are various options for connecting the appliances:
Home Connect
TM
Two appliances can be connected using the Home Con-
nect™ app provided that both appliances are Home Con-
nect™ compatible.
Refer to the Home Connect™ documents supplied for
more information.
Connecting appliances directly
If the appliance is connected directly to a cooktop, it can-
not be connected to your home network as well. The
appliance will function in the same way as a hood that is not
connected to the network and you can continue to operate
it via the touch control panel.
Connecting appliances via your home network
If the appliances are connected to each other via your
home network, both the hood controls on the cooktop and
Home Connect™ can be used to operate the appliance.
Notes
• Make sure you follow the safety instructions in the
instruction manual for your hood and that these are
complied with even when operating the appliance via
the hood controls on the cooktop.
• If the hood is being operated by means of the touch
control panel on the hood itself, this mode of operation
always has priority. It is not possible to use the hood
controls on the cooktop during this time.
Setting up a connection
To set up the connection between the hood and the
cooktop, the hood must be switched off and the cooktop
must be switched on before you can connect the cooktop
and hood.
Connecting directly
Ensure that the cooktop is switched on and is in search
mode.
To do this, refer to the section entitled "Connecting to the
hood" in the instruction manual for your cooktop.
