Holding Med for 3 seconds opens the screen where you choose the fan and light levels the hood uses when a paired appliance turns it on. The backlights blink the whole time, and the fan and light jump to the stored levels so you can see them. Holding Power for 3 seconds saves and exits. Café range hood display · also shown as Default Settings Mode What to do when All backlights blinking on and off indefinitely shows on the range hood ### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair Set the fan and light to the levels you want the paired appliance to call up. ### 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 Café Cafe range hoods whose lamps flicker or whose fan will not change speed are checked in place, working from the switch back to the blower. ### Source Café vented range hoods with QuietBoost blower owner's manual 49-2000706 (CVW9304, CVW9364) Café commercial hoods CVW9304 and CVW9364, owner's manual 49-2000706. ## Before you book, in this order.

Set the fan and light to the levels you want the paired appliance to call up. ### How do I get my Café hood out of the blinking mode? Hold Power for 3 seconds. The blinking stops and the hood goes back to what it was doing. ### Why did the fan on my Café hood change speed when the lights started blinking? In this mode the fan and light jump to the stored sync levels so you can see them. They return to normal when you exit. ### Do I need the default sync settings on my Café hood if I never pair it? No. They only matter when the hood is paired with a Chef Connect appliance, so you can simply exit the mode. --- **[Read on the site: Café hood backlights blinking without end after holding Med](https://rangehooderepair.center/error-codes/cafe-backlights-blinking-default-settings/)** **[Book a visit with RangeHoodeRepair.center](https://rangehooderepair.center/schedule/)**
