# Faber intensive speed ending by itself: the boost is timed

Faber's intensive speed is built for short bursts of heavy smoke.

## What Intensive speed drops back after 6 or 10 minutes actually means.

Faber's intensive speed is built for short bursts of heavy smoke. On the Highlight and Inca Lux Premium it runs for 6 minutes; on the Stilo, holding the high-speed button for 2 seconds starts it for 10 minutes. Afterward the hood returns to the speed you had before, or switches off if it started from off.

What to do when Intensive speed drops back after 6 or 10 minutes 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

Press intensive again if the smoke is still heavy.

### 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 Faber

A Faber range hood that runs on only one speed, or hums without spinning, gets a visit that starts at its speed control.

### Source Faber Highlight island hood installation, use and care guide

Highlight and Inca Lux Premium: 6 minutes. Stilo and Dama wall hoods: 10 minutes after a 2-second press.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Faber's own guidance for Intensive speed drops back after 6 or 10 minutes on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press intensive again if the smoke is still heavy.

02

Otherwise pick the highest regular speed for longer runs.

03

If the hood drops speed during ordinary speeds, not just after intensive, book a visit to test the blower and control.

### 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

The drop in speed is not the motor overheating or failing. If intensive never starts at all, the hood may have had its airflow reduced during installation, which disables intensive on some models.

## What you may notice with it.

The range hood problems Intensive speed drops back after 6 or 10 minutes tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

Faber builds this

### Wall-mount range hood

The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.

Faber builds this

### Under-cabinet range hood

The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.

Faber builds this

### Island range hood

The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.

## In Faber's own words

## Questions about Intensive speed drops back after 6 or 10 minutes.

### Can I clear Intensive speed drops back after 6 or 10 minutes myself?

Press intensive again if the smoke is still heavy.

### Why does my Faber slow down after a few minutes on high?

Intensive speed is timed. It ends after 6 or 10 minutes, depending on the model, and returns to your earlier speed.

### Can I keep a Faber on intensive speed all the time?

Not continuously; it times out by design. Restart it when needed.

### Why won't intensive speed start on my Faber?

On hoods set below 295 or 395 CFM at installation, intensive is switched off for good. Otherwise, a keypad that ignores the intensive button needs a check.
