What Filter light on
actually means.
These Wolf hoods keep the same 100-hour count as the black model but show it as a lit filter key rather than letters. On the ceiling-mounted hood the same light also stands in for the charcoal filters of a recirculating setup, which Wolf says should be replaced after 200 hours. The light stays on until the filter key is held.

What to do when Filter light on 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.

Cleaning or replacing what catches grease and odor: mesh and baffle filters, charcoal pads on recirculating hoods, and the grease channel.
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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for Filter light on on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
With the hood off and cool, take the mesh filters out and wash them.
Refit the filters, then press and hold the filter key for five seconds to turn the light off.
On a recirculating ceiling hood, replace the charcoal filters when the 200-hour mark comes around.
Book a visit if the light will not clear or comes straight back.

What not to do
A lit filter key is not a blower or wiring problem, and the hood keeps working normally while it is on. On the black glass version the same reminder appears as FG instead of a light.

Still showing Filter light on?
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.
