• entering, by means of the smartphone and “APP Connect’, the credentials of your WiFi network (that will be used by the “Module WFC01” during its operation)
• choosing a password to allow smartphones (yours and any other one) to access the control functions of boiler and system -
then, the Hotspot of the “Module WFOO]” is disabled and the communication between the smartphone and “APP Connect Kit occurs via WEB and through your Wif network
“APP Connect” installation
install the “BIASI Connect suitable tor your operating system (from Google Play Store o Apple App Store, see also APP compatibility on page l1)

Alarms
Boiler’s alarms
If the system “Module W FC01” Kit – APP – Remote Control is working,
the APP will show the symbol on the side drop-down menu. By clicking it, the
alarm code “E…” will show, with a short description and some
instructions.
On the boilers handbook, you’ll find a dedicated paragraph and a table that Isis the possible alarms and relevant, more detailed instructions.
We suggest you read it and call the Assistance Service whenever you have difficulty solving the problem with the procedures reserved for the User.
Note: as in all cases of malfunctioning of any device, the alarms provide an indication of the most probable cause (to be investigated first) but not exclusive of other problems, to be fixed by the Technician.
Kit-related alarms: E91 – E94
In case of failure of the system Kit BOX WFC – APP –
Remote Control, the APP will show the symbol on the side drop-down menu. By clicking it, one of the alarms listed below will show, with a short description and some instructions.
E91 This alarm showing on the APP can be triggered by different causes. Please, look at the boiler’s display and read the alarm code shown on it:
- if the alarm E91 is present on the boiler’s display too, means that the error is specific to the boiler and therefore it is necessary to refer to its instruction booklet
E94 This alarm showing on the APP can be triggered by different causes. Please, look at the boiler’s display and read the alarm code shown on it:
if no error code is displayed on the boiler, the problem is probably located on the link (interrupted or subject to noise) between the “Module WFC01” and the Remote Control (see also Electrical connections on page 12). In case of interruption, the Remote Control’s display should be off;
