Do I Need To Maintain Wi-Fi Connection After Pairing in Order To Keep Air Fry and Air Sous Vide Mode?

If your Oven displays the following error codes (E0211, E1610, E0510) during the update process press the “TIMERS” button to dismiss the error code. If the error code does not go away, perform a power cycle* on the Oven. This will clear the error code and the update will finish.
