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 hoodKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
Look behind the grease filters for the under 295 or under 395 CFM label.
Shows up asReading 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.

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.
Look behind the grease filters for the under 295 or under 395 CFM label.
If it is there, the buttons are working as set and no repair is needed.
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.

Mode, not a failure on other makes
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.
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.
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.

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.
