Our products are compatible with all operators and the majority of the boxes on the market. You can connect your product to any WEP, WPA and WPA2 type Wi-Fi on the 2.4GHz frequency band.
If your Wi-Fi network is not visible on the product, it is possible that 2.4GHz Wi-Fi is not enabled on your box. Most boxes allow you to activate it. Consult your operator's FAQ to find out how to do this.
Warning: Your product cannot connect to a 5GHz Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi with a password containing special characters will not work as well as open Wi-Fi (not requiring a password).
From the home page of your device, go to "Settings" and select "Associate an account". • Download the application on your smartphone from the Google Play store or the App Store. • From the app, add the product you own and then create an account or sign in. • An association code is generated. Enter it in your application.
Even if your product doesn't need a very fast WiFi connection to work, the received WiFi signal must still be stable. If the screen displays 'Loading Error' you can move the product closer to your box or add a WiFi repeater (see FAQ 'I don't have WiFi access in my kitchen').
If your product loses the WiFi connection during a recipe, you will be able to finish your recipe without any inconvenience. However, the videos of that recipe will no longer be accessible until the connection is re-established.
If the WiFi connection is interrupted during an update, this cannot be completed. Your product will be able to reboot to its current version and this update will be rescheduled the next time you start it.
If your smartphone loses internet connection (WiFi or 4G) during a recipe it will have no impact on your product which will be able to execute the recipe without any problem. You will simply no longer be able to follow the progress of the recipe remotely on your smartphone and you will no longer receive notifications about the end of a step or the addition of an ingredient.
In "Settings" on the right side of your home screen, you need to choose "WiFi Settings" and "Enable WiFi". Then select your WiFi network and enter your password.
Your product can only be associated with one account. However, any application that is connected to this account can interact with this product. If you have a tablet and a smartphone, or if other members of your household want to interact with your product, they can simply connect their application using your account.
As soon as an update is available, your product when it connects to the WiFi will suggest you to do the update.
Some updates are priorities for security reasons and you will need to perform them before you can use your product. Others may be delayed. You can then perform them now or later by going to your product's settings.
If an update fails, you can download it again. If despite several attempts you are unable to install it, move the product closer to your box, the connection from your kitchen may be too weak to download it. If the update fails even close to your box, please contact our customer service.

To obtain an optimal connection between your device and your box, it is recommended to position your device in a place where the Wifi signal received from your box is strong. You can test the connection by positioning your smartphone at the location of your product to see if the WiFi signal received at that location is strong enough. If the connection is interrupted (connection symbol crossed out), please bring your device and your box closer together to reestablish the connection. The presence of the fixed connection indicator (application or product) ensures that your devices are connected.
There are three different icons that appear one after the other.

The pot can be washed in the dishwasher as it is safe to be immersed. However, some detergent products contain elements that are more or less aggressive to metals. This grey residue is the reaction of the metal with the product.
We recommend liquid or gel detergents, which are softer.
The coating of the pot is not altered. To restore the original appearance: using a sponge and a mixture of hot water and white vinegar, clean and then rinse the pot thoroughly. Our advice: for greater satisfaction over time of your pot, we recommend manual washing with a mild detergent.
Yes, you can place 4 verrines underneath and 2 verrines on top. They can also be placed in the steam basket. Make sure you always add 25 cl of water. Be careful to place the two upper verrines towards the front in order to prevent them from overturning or hindering the lid from closing.
The grid can be placed in the bowl: • either in low position to raise your food for better air circulation. • either in high position to have 2 cooking levels, one at the bottom of the bowl, and one on the grid.
There are recipes specially written with the 2in1 grid accessory directly in the app. When searching, you can filter based on the accessory. You can also use the grid for manual cooking without any problem.
We advise you to let the grid cool before handling it, or to use potholders to take it from the bowl. If the grid is still hot, place it on a heat-resistant surface.
