What Keys T6 and T5 flashing quickly
actually means.
Recirculating Haiku hoods use an activated carbon filter to take smells out of the air. When that filter is saturated, T6 and T5 light with a quick flash during the first seconds after switch-on. The Haiku's carbon filter is the washable kind: Elica says it can be washed about every two months and dried in the oven, following the manual.

What to do when Keys T6 and T5 flashing quickly 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,

Remove the grease filter, then the carbon filter, with the hood off.

Hold T6 and T5 until they flash quickly to reset.
If the odor stays after a fresh or washed filter, book a visit to check the airflow.

What not to do
A quick flash right after you hold T6 and T5 is only the reset confirmation, not the alarm. The quick flash in the first 10 seconds after switch-on is the carbon filter signal.
