What Green indicator LED
actually means.
The RVL Pureline Pro ceiling hood shows white LEDs for fan speed and power mode and one green LED for the grease filter. After 20 cooking hours the green LED lights to ask for a filter cleaning. If the count is not reset after cleaning, the green LED comes on again whenever the hood is switched on.

What to do when Green indicator LED shows on the range hoodKind of codeFilter 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.

What not to do

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.
