What Pushbutton panel blinking during calibration
actually means.
Sirius downdrafts calibrate the movement of the extraction panel. The SU-DD3 does it after installation, with the buttons blinking until the panel returns to its position; the SU-DD2-L recalibrates by itself every three full cycles, and six quick TIMER presses flash all the LEDs and reset that calibration.

What to do when Pushbutton panel blinking during calibration shows on the range hoodKind of codeDamper and downdraft
Something along the path of the air has stopped moving as it should: a motorized backdraft damper that no longer opens when the fan starts, one that sticks open and lets cold air or rain in, or on a downdraft the lift motor and its limit switches that raise the vent behind the burners. A damper taped shut since installation or a pan handle dropped into a downdraft slot can bring on the same code, so the easy checks come first.

Getting the air out of the house: the backdraft damper, the duct and its joints, the wall or roof cap, and make-up air in a tight house.

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.

Keep pans and utensils clear of the panel path.
If the panel stops partway or keeps reversing, clear anything in its path and book a visit if it continues.

What not to do
Blinking during calibration is not the filter reminder, which flashes all the speed LEDs with the panel at rest. A panel that rises again when closing has met an obstacle and triggered its safety stop.

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.

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.
