What 1 and B flashing
actually means.
Power management is Miele's energy saver: booster drops to level 3 after five minutes, lower levels step down after two hours, and the light goes off after twelve. In the settings sequence the hood shows its state with 1 and B, flashing for off and steady for on.

What to do when 1 and B flashing 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
Touch B to switch power management on, or 1 to leave it off.
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 Miele's own guidance for 1 and B flashing on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Touch B to switch power management on, or 1 to leave it off.
Confirm with the delayed shutdown control; the lights go out.
If you do nothing within four minutes the hood keeps its previous setting; book a visit if the settings will not save.
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
1 and B flashing are not a warning and only appear in the settings sequence. A blower that steps down by itself during long cooking is power management at work, not a failing motor.
What you may
notice with it.
The range hood problems 1 and B flashing tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

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 Miele's own words
When it is turned off, the 1 and B indicators will flash.

Still showing 1 and B flashing?
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.
