# Bertazzoni S1 steady: KMC grease filters are due

The KMC canopy hoods keep a running total of blower time.

## What S1 steady actually means.

The KMC canopy hoods keep a running total of blower time. After 100 working hours the S1 light comes on and stays on, asking for the metal grease filters to be cleaned.

What to do when S1 steady shows on the range hood

### Kind of code Filter reminders

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.

### Usually leads to Range hood filter and baffle service

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

### Shows up as Reading 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.

### Make Bertazzoni

A Bertazzoni range hood that has stopped pulling steam is inspected in your kitchen, beginning with the rating label hidden behind its grease filters.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for S1 steady on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the lights and the blower off.

02

Take down the grease filters, wash them and let them dry before refitting.

03

Hold T3 for about three seconds until S1 flashes three times to confirm the reset.

04

If S1 comes back on right away, book a visit to check the keypad and control.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [range hood filter and baffle service](https://rangehooderepair.center/services/range-hood-filter-and-baffle-service/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

A steady S1 does not mean the blower is failing; it is a timed cleaning reminder. A flashing S1 is a different message, about the charcoal filter.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about S1 steady.

### Can I clear S1 steady myself?

Turn the lights and the blower off. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why won't the S1 reset on my Bertazzoni canopy hood?

The reset only works with the lights and blower off. Turn both off, then hold T3 for three seconds.

### How often should I wash the filters on a Bertazzoni KMC?

Whenever S1 comes on, and at least every two months of use by Bertazzoni's schedule.

### Can the filters from a Bertazzoni KMC go through a machine wash?

Yes, the KMC manual allows the dishwasher. Let them dry fully before putting them back.
