This box is NOT compatible with any ranges as far as connectivity. It is only compatible with a few counter mounted samsung cooktops. I fought samsung on this after i had it installed. They conceded that this in fact does not have wifi capability. It connects via Bluetooth to the few cooktops and uses the cooktop's wifi connection. Best buy was great in making things right after i purchased this. It is basically a $1200 standard vent hood... unless you have one of their compatible cooktops, which you have to call samsung to verify. Even then, good luck finding a tech person at samsung who knows this. I verified with them prior to my purchase that it would work with my also new duo flex range, they said yes. After hours on thephone with Samsung, they said it wasn't their fault that i didn't research deeper even though i spoke with their technical presales team prior to my purchase. Long story short, call Samsung, ask for the exact models of cooktops and ranges that will allow for the smart functions and connectivity of the hood to work. If they tell you it's blue tooth with your phone or tablet, they are 100% incorrect. The maximum functionality is, it connects to a few models of cooktops only, and the wifi connection is from the cooktops. Connects to cooktops via Bluetooth and uses the cooktops connection to wifi via that Bluetooth connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Vanessa, Yes, the hood automatically comes on whenever you use any stove. Please see the "Cooktop and Range Hood Connectivity" and "Auto Connectivity" sections on page 12 of the user's manual as your guide.
