# Smeg Turbo key flashing: speed 4 for about seven minutes

Turbo is the fourth speed on Smeg's touch panels.

## What Turbo key flashing actually means.

Turbo is the fourth speed on Smeg's touch panels. While it runs, its key flashes, and after about seven minutes the motor steps down to speed 3.

What to do when Turbo key flashing shows on the range hood

### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair

Use Turbo for heavy steam or smoke and expect the step down.

### 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 Smeg

A Smeg hood with a fan that won't start or lamps that won't light is seen in your kitchen, and the visit begins at its switch.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Smeg's own guidance for Turbo key flashing on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Use Turbo for heavy steam or smoke and expect the step down.

02

Touch Turbo again if you still need it.

03

If Turbo does not speed the motor up, book a visit to check the blower.

### 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

The flashing key does not signal a problem. The timer cannot be set while Turbo is on, so a timer that will not start is expected.

## What you may notice with it.

The range hood problems Turbo key flashing tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.
