What First white fan-speed LED flashing
actually means.
Pressing the off button once starts the run-on function. The lighting drops to ambient mode, the first white speed LED flashes, and the fan keeps running at low speed for 10 minutes before switching off. Pressing off twice skips run-on and stops the fan at once.

What to do when First white fan-speed LED 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
Let the 10-minute run-on finish if you want the last of the cooking vapors cleared.
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.
