Connectivity
I can't access the Internet on my tablet or smartphone in the kitchen
An Internet connection is required only to download and update the application, and sign in to my account.
An Internet connection is not needed to use the connected feature of your product. There is no need to move your product closer to the access point (Internet router).
Where should I put my appliance to achieve the best connection?
Place your appliance on a flat, stable surface. For the best connection between your appliance and smartphone/tablet, we recommend performing all operations requiring a connection at a sensible distance.
If the connection is lost (connection symbol crossed out), move your device closer until the connection is re-established.
If the connection indicator is lit (app or product), your devices are connected.
The blue light is not flashing and I can't connect
Another smartphone or tablet is already connected to the Cook4me. In this case, you need to disconnect it by closing the application or pressing "connected" in the top right corner of the application.
Once the Cook4me's blue light starts flashing, you will be able to connect your device.
