Remote Control Function and Using It
After HomeWhiz setup, bluetooth will automatically turn on. To activate or deactivate the Bluetooth connection, please see “Bluetooth 3”.
If you turn off and on your machine while bluetooth is active, it will automatically reconnect. In cases such as paired device going off the range, bluetooth will automatically turn off. For this reason, you will need to turn on the bluetooth again if you want to use the Remote Control function.
You can check the bluetooth symbol on the display to track your connection status. If the symbol is continuously on, you have bluetooth connection. If the symbol is flashing, the product is trying to connect. If the symbol is off, you have no connection.
NOTICE

WARNING
If the Bluetooth connection is turned on in your product, then the Remote Control function can be selected.
If the Remote Control function cannot be selected, check the connection status. If the connection cannot be established, repeat the initial setup steps over the product.
For safety reasons, the product door will be locked and remain locked regardless of the operating mode of the product when the Remote Control function is activated. If you want to open the door of the product, you will need to turn the programme selection knob or press the remote control key to deactivate the remote control function.
When you want to control your washing machine remotely, after the front lid is closed, you need to activate the Remote Control function by pressing the Remote Control button while the programme knob is in the Download Programme/Remote Control position button on the control panel of your washing machine. Once access is established to the product, you will see a screen similar to the one below.

When the Remote Control is enabled, you can only manage the machine, turn it off and follow the status through your washing machine. And all functions except child lock can be managed through the application.
You can follow whether the Remote Control function is On or Off through the function indicator on the button.
If the Remote Control function is Off, all the operations are handled on the washing machine and only status follow-up is allowed on the application.
In the event that Remote Start function cannot be turned on, appliance will make a warning sound when you press the button. This might happen in cases such as when the appliance is turned on and there is no paired smart device via bluetooth. Bluetooth settings being Off or the washing machine's door being open are examples for such cases.
Once you activate this function on the washing machine, it will remain enabled apart from certain conditions and allow you to control your washing machine remotely via bluetooth.
In certain cases, it deactivates itself for safety reasons:
- When your washing machine undergoes a power interruption.
- When programme knob is turned and a different programme selected or appliance is turned off.
