Solution
Check that the food recycler has been connected to the
home Wi-Fi Router. See the "Connectivity Setup" section.
The food recycler Wi-Fi may be turned off. Press
CONNECT. The connect key will flash slowly while
connecting (this may take up to 2 minutes).
Check whether the router connection is on and working
with other computers or devices in the home (able to
access the internet).
There may be a weak signal strength or signal interference
between the food recycler and router. Try to place the
wireless router closer to the food recycler. It may be
necessary to install a Wi-Fi range extender.
Unplug or disconnect food recycler power for 30
seconds, then return power. Repeat Wi-Fi connection
process.
Verify that the food recycler operates correctly except for
not being able to connect. Call for service.
