# Monogram pyramid chimney hood: filter signal light on

The pyramid hoods count how long the fan has been on and light a signal once 30 hours have passed.

## What Grease filter signal light actually means.

The pyramid hoods count how long the fan has been on and light a signal once 30 hours have passed. It is Monogram's prompt to wash the metal grease filters by hand or in the dishwasher. The owner's manual gives the interval but no reset steps.

What to do when Grease filter signal light shows on the range hood

### Kind of code Filter 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.

### Usually leads to Range hood filter and baffle service

Cleaning or replacing what catches grease and odor: mesh and baffle filters, charcoal pads on recirculating hoods, and the grease channel.

### 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 Monogram

Monogram hoods and hood inserts are repaired in place, working from the control panel back to the blower and the damper.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Monogram's own guidance for Grease filter signal light on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

With the hood off and cool, remove each grease filter by pushing it back and down with its knob.

02

Wash the filters in hot soapy water or the dishwasher with non-abrasive soap, and let them dry.

03

Put them back in the lower set of filter holders.

04

If the light does not clear, look for the hood in the SmartHQ app or book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [range hood filter and baffle service](https://rangehooderepair.center/services/range-hood-filter-and-baffle-service/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

The signal light counts hours; it does not sense a clogged filter or a weak blower. The color-changing light on the same panel is the air-quality indicator, not a filter warning.

Monogram 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.

Monogram 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.

Monogram 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 Monogram's own words

> Clean the grease filter after 30 hours of “on” time. A signal light will alert you when 30 hours has passed.

## Questions about Grease filter signal light.

### Can I clear Grease filter signal light myself?

With the hood off and cool, remove each grease filter by pushing it back and down with its knob. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What does the filter light on my Monogram pyramid hood mean?

The fan has run 30 hours since it was last counted, and Monogram wants the grease filters washed.

### Can I machine-wash the filters from a Monogram pyramid hood?

Yes. Monogram allows hand washing in hot soapy water or the dishwasher with a non-abrasive soap.

### Does the same light tell me to change the charcoal filters on my Monogram hood?

No. Charcoal filters are changed when they look dirty or discolored, usually after 6 to 12 months, and only the 30- and 36-inch models can recirculate.
