Smeg UK’s help centre lists ten error codes for its pyrolytic ovens and says each one needs an engineer’s visit. It does not say what each code means, so this page does not guess: it tells you the code is on Smeg’s engineer list, and that there is no owner fix for it. Pyrolytic ovens are the self-cleaning ones; other Smeg ovens may use other codes. Codes are not shared between makes: AEG and Bosch ovens also show an F8, and what it means on those says nothing about a Smeg.

A code that is not listed here
For a code that is not on Smeg’s list, Smeg points owners to the user manual for their model (Smeg UK’s help centre has a “Where can I view a user manual?” answer) and to its service centre.
We list only codes the source below states. If your code is not here, it may belong to a model the source does not cover: your model’s manual is the authority.
