Step 2

Determine your control type.
 
There are three types of ways to set Remote Enable on smart ranges and wall ovens:
 
  • Range Control - Applies to all Smart ranges
  • Wall Oven (Touch Pad) - Has pushbuttons (touch pad) for Oven Control
  • Wall Oven (Knob) - Has a knob for Oven Control
Hint: If you are unsure of which control type you have, open the SmartHQ app and sign into your account. On the Home screen, press the Plus sign (+) to view the "Add An Appliance" screen. Press the ! symbol next to "Range," "Wall Oven (Knob)," or the "Wall Oven (Touch Pad)" to view a picture of each control panel.
 

Step 3

Connect your appliance.
 
Open the SmartHQ app and sign in. On the Home screen, press the Plus sign (+) to view the "Add An Appliance" screen. Choose the range or wall oven option that matches your control panel to get to the Welcome screen. Press OK.
 
  1. On your range or wall oven control panel, select Remote Enable:
    • Range Control - Press and hold the "Remote Enable" button until the WiFi icon starts flashing on the display. Press Next on the SmartHQ app.

    • On Android phones, you may see "Disable Smart Network Switch" in the instructions on the SmartHQ app. Press "Show Me How" for instructions on disabling this feature. The option may vary by phone; look for other options like: Auto Network Switch; Check for Internet Service; or Avoid Poor Networks.
