What A key flashing every 2 seconds
actually means.
The KPH hoods use the light key, marked A, as their filter light. When it flashes at a slow two-second rhythm, the control is reporting that the metal grease filters have reached their cleaning interval.

The hood has counted enough hours of fan time to ask for its filters: the mesh or baffle grease filters want a wash, or on a recirculating hood the charcoal filters want replacing. Most hoods count hours rather than measure grease, so the light comes on whether the filters are clean or not, and it stays on until it is reset with the key the manual names. A reminder that returns straight after a reset, or a hood that still pulls weakly with fresh filters, is worth a visit.

Cleaning or replacing what catches grease and odor: mesh and baffle filters, charcoal pads on recirculating hoods, and the grease channel.

A range hood error code may appear as letters and numbers on a display, a light that blinks in a pattern, a filter reminder that will not clear, or a beep with the fan refusing to start.

What not to do
The slow flash is only about grease filters; it does not mean the light has failed even though it is the light key flashing. A fast flash, about twice a second, is the charcoal filter reminder instead.

Filter reminders on other makes
Wall-mount range hood
The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.
Under-cabinet range hood
The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.
Island range hood
The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.
In Bertazzoni's own words
When the A key flashes with a 2 second frequency the anti-grease filters must be washed.
