What clean grease filter
actually means.
Bosch 500 and 800 Series wall hoods with a text display spell their reminders out rather than using a lamp. After 30 hours of ventilation the display asks for the metal grease filters to be cleaned. The message stays until the plus key is held to reset it.

What to do when clean grease filter shows on the range hoodKind of codeFilter 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.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for clean grease filter on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the hood off, open each filter latch and fold the filter down, supporting it from below so trapped grease does not drip.
Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or loosely in the dishwasher, and wipe the filter holders inside the hood too.
Refit the filters, then press and hold the plus key for five seconds to clear the message.
If the message is back straight away, book a visit to have the control checked.

What not to do
This message is about the washable mesh filters only; the charcoal filter has its own wording. It does not point at the blower, and the hood runs normally while it is showing.

Three things make the booking useful: the letters or blink pattern exactly as they showed, the full model number from the label behind the filters, and whether the fan still moves air on every speed. With those, the technician arrives with half the answer already worked out.
