What Saturation display blinking
actually means.
Gaggenau hoods keep a running tally of fan hours and, at 30 hours, blink the saturation display for the grease filter. On the 400 series wall hood the same reminder shows as the saturation button flashing. It stays until the saturation button is pressed while it blinks.

What to do when Saturation display blinking 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.

Press the saturation button while the display is still blinking to reset the count.
Book a visit if the reminder will not clear or returns at once.
Still there?

What not to do
A blinking saturation display is not a blower or wiring problem, and the hood keeps working. On the Vario downdraft the reminder is shown through the illuminated ring on the knob instead of a symbol.

Still showing Saturation display blinking?
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.
