Abstract: In a Method for maintenance of a non-computing appliance, such as a kitchen appliance, the steps are a2) identifying a datum representative of the lifetime of at least one component of the appliance, and determining a threshold value of the said datum beyond which a risk of malfunction of the component may occur, b2) monitoring the current value of the said datum of an appliance in a user's site, c2) performing a maintenance operation in respect of the appliance as soon as the current value exceeds the said threshold value, with a view to undertaking for example the replacement of the said component. in step a2), sub-steps are obtaining a reference value of the datum, obtaining information for one and the same component of several identical or similar appliances in users' sites, and calculating the threshold value on the basis of the reference value and the said information.

Abstract: Method for maintenance of a non-computing appliance, such as a kitchen appliance, comprising the step consisting in a1) performing a maintenance operation in respect of the appliance, and the step consisting in b1) recording data relating to the maintenance operation in a memory integrated into the appliance, characterized in that it comprises the additional step consisting in: d1) transmitting, directly from the appliance, at least part of said data to a remote computing server.
