Miele do sell some s**te.

It took me an hour to connect the hob to the extractor.

You should have got an electrician in! ;-)

Video? Photos?

I only had a chartered surveyor and a Russian ballet dancer with me.

I spent the first 30 minutes trying to plug in the transmitter stick. I even read TFM to locate the port for the bloody thing.

Well the hob did not have as port as it was a newer model with inbuilt Bluetooth. So why did they send a plug in transmitter stick with the hob?

The instructions were useless (even the Russian ones). Eventually we worked out that you had to deactivate the remote control that came with the extractor fan before you could connect the hob to the extractor fan.

My cooker hood has a manually operated switch.

Why? It should be simple to do this sort of thing. I often wonder why standardisation never works, its because everyone uses their own standard! Brian

I get "setup timout error. Setup took longer than 30 seconds to complete"

And that's only on the video.

One's Con@ctivity 2.0 and the other's Con@ctivity 2.0a ?

I haven't got a cooker, but when I'm using my boiling ring I open t'window.

There's a cream for that, so I'm told. Your neighbours must be very tolerant.

[Richard]

Ooohh. Look. A video, but not quite what I was expecting.

[spuorgelgoog]

I can't see it.

What were you expecting that takes longer than 30 seconds? ;-)

MacGyver would have managed with just those two!

Gawd - what's wrong with the simple method? A switch, as you have, or wired connection. There's just been a programme about Rome. At a junction, the wooden box that the traffic cop used was replaced with a dais that rose from the road - it hasn't worked for a year. I bet that the wooden box was less unreliable. Just because something /can/ be done doesn't mean that it /should/ be done.
