On the black V Series hood, the filter reminder is cleared by pressing and holding the DELAY key. When the control accepts the reset, FF appears. Seeing it means the hour counter has started again from zero. Wolf range hood display What to do when FF 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 Let go of the DELAY key once FF is showing; the reset is done. ### 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 Wolf Wolf hoods, liners and downdraft vents are looked at in your home, and the owner's description of the problem guiding where the technician looks first. ### Source Wolf support answer: V Series Hood Displays FG Black glass V Series VW and VI cooktop hoods, per Wolf's FG support answer. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for FF on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Let go of the DELAY key once FF is showing; the reset is done. 02 Make sure the washed filters are back in the hood before cooking. 03 If FF shows but FG returns on the next use, book a visit so the control can be tested. ### 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 FF is not a warning and asks for nothing. It only shows up because someone held DELAY, so FF appearing on its own during cooking is worth mentioning when you book. ## What you may notice with it. The range hood problems FF tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

Let go of the DELAY key once FF is showing; the reset is done. ### Does FF on my Wolf hood mean the filters are full? No, it is the opposite. FF confirms that the reminder was just cleared and the count has restarted. ### How long do I hold DELAY on a black Wolf V Series hood? Hold it until FF appears in the display, then release. A short tap only starts the delay-off timer instead. ### Should I reset the Wolf reminder before washing the filters? Wash first and reset after. Resetting with dirty filters in place just starts a new 100-hour count on filters that already need cleaning. --- **[Read on the site: Wolf FF: the filter counter on a black V Series hood has just been reset](https://rangehooderepair.center/error-codes/wolf-ff/)** **[Book a visit with RangeHoodeRepair.center](https://rangehooderepair.center/schedule/)**
