# Faber top speed or intensive button doing nothing: a reduced CFM setting

Faber lets installers limit a hood's airflow for local rules.

## What Top speeds disabled after CFM adjustment actually means.

Faber lets installers limit a hood's airflow for local rules. After the under-395 adjustment the intensive speed no longer works; after the under-295 adjustment speed three and intensive stop too. Faber says the change cannot be reversed, and a label is put inside the hood behind the filters.

What to do when Top speeds disabled after CFM adjustment 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

Look behind the grease filters for the under 295 or under 395 CFM label.

### 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.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Faber's own guidance for Top speeds disabled after CFM adjustment on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Look behind the grease filters for the under 295 or under 395 CFM label.

02

If it is there, the buttons are working as set and no repair is needed.

03

If there is no label and the higher speeds still do nothing, book a visit to test the blower and the keypad.

### 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

Dead top buttons on a capped hood are not a failed keypad. A capped hood that pulls poorly even on its allowed speeds may have a duct or damper issue.

## What you may notice with it.

The range hood problems Top speeds disabled after CFM adjustment 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

> it is no longer possible to change this setting to the original CFM level.

## Questions about Top speeds disabled after CFM adjustment.

### Can I clear Top speeds disabled after CFM adjustment myself?

Look behind the grease filters for the under 295 or under 395 CFM label.

### Can a Faber CFM limit be removed later?

No. Faber states the setting cannot be changed back once it is completed.

### How do I know if my Faber was limited?

Check for the CFM label behind the grease filters, which the installer applies near the rating label.

### Why do two buttons do the same thing on my Faber?

After a CFM adjustment, pairs of buttons run at the same level by design.
