What All button backlights flashing
actually means.

Holding Light for 3 seconds starts Chef Connect pairing, and the backlight for all the icons flashes until the hood links with a compatible Café or GE cooking appliance. Three simultaneous flashes, then dark, mean it paired. The attempt ends after 2 minutes.

What to do when All button backlights flashing shows on the range hood

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Café's own guidance for All button backlights flashing on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Start pairing on the cooking appliance below within 2 minutes.

02

Watch for three flashes of every backlight together, which confirms the link.

03

To cancel, hold Light for 3 seconds and then switch the hood off.

04

If the flashing starts by itself, or pairing never succeeds with a compatible appliance, book a visit.

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

All icons flashing during pairing is not an electrical problem. A steady on-off blink of all backlights after a long press on Med is the Default Settings Mode instead.

What you may

The range hood problems All button backlights flashing tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

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.

In Café's own words

The backlight for all the icons will flash until the hood is paired with the range or other device.

Questions
about All button backlights flashing.

Can I clear All button backlights flashing myself?
Start pairing on the cooking appliance below within 2 minutes.
Why did all the lights on my Café hood start flashing when I held Light?
A 3-second hold on Light starts Chef Connect pairing. Finish pairing within 2 minutes, or hold Light again for 3 seconds to cancel.
How can I tell my Café hood paired?
All the backlights flash together three times and then go out. The hood then follows the paired appliance's commands.
What does my Café hood do once it is paired?
It switches its light, and the fan if you set it to, to the default sync levels when the paired appliance signals it. The factory default turns the light to brightest and leaves the fan off.

Back to your everyday

Still showing All button backlights flashing?

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.
