What Fan key backlight flashes slowly
actually means.
The thermostat reacts to excessive heat above the cooking surface. With the blower off it starts it at high; with the blower on low it steps up to high. While it is in charge, the fan key flashes slowly, the speed cannot be changed, and the control panel cannot turn the hood off, only the main power switch can.

What to do when Fan key backlight flashes slowly shows on the range hoodKind of codeHeat and grease sensors
A sensor inside the canopy has stopped telling the control a believable story: the heat sensor that starts the fan when the air above the burners gets hot, or on some hoods a sensor that reads grease or steam to set the speed. One that reads hot all the time keeps the blower running with the burners long cold; one that reads nothing leaves the automatic mode doing nothing. The sensor, its wiring and the canopy around it are checked at the visit.

What not to do
This is not the automatic mode you switch on with its key, which adjusts speed to cooking heat and turns the fan off afterward. A key flashing only at switch-off is the filter reminder, not the sensor.
