What Wi-Fi indicator flashing
actually means.

Holding the Low button for 3 seconds starts the Wi-Fi connection, and the indicator flashes until the hood is added in the SmartHQ app. Once connected, the light stays on and the app can run fan speed, light level and the night light schedule.

What to do when Wi-Fi indicator flashing shows on the range hood

Before you book,
in this order.

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

01

Open SmartHQ, sign in and add the hood while the light is flashing.

02

Have the home Wi-Fi password ready and apply any software update the app offers.

03

If the light flashes but the hood never connects, restart the router and try again.

04

If the hood still will not connect or keeps dropping off, 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

A flashing Wi-Fi light does not affect the fan or lights, which still work from the buttons. It is separate from Chef Connect pairing, where all the icons flash.

What you may
notice with it.

The range hood problems Wi-Fi indicator 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

about Wi-Fi indicator flashing.

It is waiting to be added in the SmartHQ app. Finish setup there, and the light turns solid once connected.

Can I control my Café hood from my phone?
Yes, once it is on Wi-Fi. The SmartHQ app can change fan speed and light level and schedule the night light.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Wi-Fi indicator 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.
