Wolf V Series Black Glass Hood Code FG: Clean Grease Filters

What FG (looks like F6) means

On Wolf V Series black glass cooktop hoods such as the VW30B, VW36B, VW45B, and VI42B, the display reading FG, which can look like F6, asks you to clean the aluminum mesh grease filters. It is a maintenance prompt and the hood is not damaged. The owner sees FG and the hood still runs. Clear the prompt by holding DELAY until FF appears.

Common causes of FG (looks like F6)

Grease filter cleaning interval reached
Mesh filters loaded with grease

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Switch the hood off and wait until the filters are cool to touch. 2. Remove the aluminum mesh grease filters. 3. Wash them in hot soapy water or the dishwasher, then dry them fully. 4. Refit them and hold DELAY until FF shows to reset. 5. If the prompt stays, call us.

! Why to stop there

The prompt is an owner task, so a repair is only needed if it will not clear.
Greasy filters cut airflow and can leave residue on the hood.
If it persists, we check the hood, quote in writing first, and give a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FG (looks like F6)FG (looks like F6) questions

Is FG really F6?

The letter G on the display can look like a 6, so many owners read it as F6. It is the grease filter reminder and not an error code in the repair sense.

How do I clear it?

Clean the mesh grease filters, dry them well, and put them back. Then hold DELAY until FF shows. The reminder resets and the hood goes back to normal operation.

What if FG returns right away?

Make sure the filters were dried and seated, and that you held DELAY long enough. If it still returns, call us and we will quote any work in writing first.
