What FAN- button slowly blinking
actually means.
On ICON Touch LCD hoods the reminder comes after 60 hours of fan use. With the hood on, the LCD scrolls a message and FAN- blinks; with the hood off, only FAN- blinks. Zephyr's help center describes the same blinking down arrow on other models as a clean filter reminder.

What to do when FAN- button slowly blinking 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 Zephyr's own guidance for FAN- button slowly blinking on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Wash the grease filters with the hood off and cool.
With the entire hood off, press and hold FAN- to reset the reminder; a short press only shows the reset instructions.
If FAN- keeps blinking after a proper reset, book a visit to check the keypad and board.
Still there?
It usually turns into range hood filter and baffle service. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
A blinking FAN- is not a sign that the fan speed control has failed, and the fan still works at every speed. Both ON/OFF and LIGHTS blinking together with PAIRING on the screen is the remote pairing mode instead.

Wall-mount range hood
The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.
Under-cabinet range hood
The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.
Island range hood
The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.
In Zephyr's own words
the FAN- button will slowly blink, indicating it is time to clean the grease filters.

Still showing FAN- button slowly blinking?
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.
