What to do when F shows on the home appliance

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for F on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch the hood off and let the filters cool before removing them.

02

Wash the filters by hand or in the dishwasher, then let them dry fully.

03

Clip them back in with the handles facing out, then hold the light key (button B) for about five seconds until F stops flashing.

04

Book a visit if F will not clear or comes back right away.

Still there?

It usually turns into water filter and descaling service. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

F does not report a blower or lighting failure, and the hood keeps working while it flashes. If the display alternates between C and F instead, that points to the charcoal filters rather than the grease filters.

Where F usually leads

Water filter and descaling service.

Water filters replaced and flushed, inlet screens checked, descaling run on a steam oven, ice maker or dish care machine · low.

In Bertazzoni's own words

When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter F, the grease filters must be washed.

Questions
about F.

Can I clear F myself?
Switch the hood off and let the filters cool before removing them. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Which button clears the flashing F on a Bertazzoni KG hood?
Button B, the light key, held for about five seconds with the clean filters back in place.
Can cooking continue while F is flashing?
Yes, but grease left in the filters is both a fire risk and a drag on airflow, so cleaning soon after the reminder is worthwhile.
How soon will F reappear after cleaning?
It depends on how much the hood is used, since the interval is based on running time; frequent reappearance within a week or two can point to a counter that did not reset properly.

Back to your everyday

Still showing F?

A booking goes further when it has the reminder or code as shown, the model number from the rating plate, and a word on when that filter, screen or tub was last cleaned. With those three, the office can pack the right filter or cleaner for your appliance.
