What F and C keys flashing
actually means.
Clean air mode switches the KPH blower on at first speed for ten minutes every hour. While it runs, the F and C keys flash together; between runs the blower stops and the F key stays lit steadily until the next cycle.

What to do when F and C keys flashing shows on the range hoodKind of codeMode, not a failure
The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual, or simply waiting, ends it.
Usually leads toNo repair
If you want the hourly airing, leave the hood as it is.
Shows up asReading a Range Hood Error Code or Blinking Light
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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for F and C keys flashing on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
If you want the hourly airing, leave the hood as it is.
To stop it, press key B, or press a speed key to go straight back to normal use.
If the keys flash and the blower does not run at all, book a visit to check the blower and board.
Cleared?
The code is gone and the blower pulls steam up on every speed again without a new part. If it returns this week, or the filter reminder keeps coming back right after a cleaning, mention it in the booking.
What not to do
The flashing pair is not a filter reminder; on the KPH hoods that job belongs to the A key. It is also not a stuck keypad, since any key other than the light key ends the mode.
