The noise level ranges from 46 dB on the lowest speed to 61 dB on the highest speed.
Does this hood come with charcoal filters?
The hood supports re-circulating installation, but you should verify if your specific package includes the required anti-odor filter set, as these are sometimes sold separately.
How do I clean the aluminum filters?
The aluminum grease filters can generally be washed by hand or in a dishwasher; consult the user manual for specific detergent recommendations to avoid discoloration.
What are the height requirements for this hood?
The unit has a height range of 65 cm to 128.7 cm to accommodate different ceiling heights and mounting preferences.
Troubleshooting
Hood is failing to extract air effectively
Check if the grease filters are clogged with debris and clean them; verify that the ducting path is not obstructed.
Lighting does not turn on
Ensure the unit is receiving power and check that the LED connection is secure; if it remains dark, the LED module may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is vital for the Elica Dolce's longevity. Ensure the unit is mounted at least 60 cm above an electric hob or 70 cm above a gas hob to comply with safety standards. The hood uses an aluminum grease filter, which should be cleaned regularly to maintain airflow efficiency. If using the recirculating mode, ensure the correct anti-odor filters are installed and replaced according to manufacturer guidelines. The unit features an exhaust connection diameter of 15 cm; confirm your kitchen ducting is compatible during the planning phase.
