FAQs
How often do I need to replace the ceramic filters?
The frequency of filter replacement depends on your cooking habits. Check the filters regularly (e.g., every 3-6 months) and replace them when they are saturated with grease or odors, or as recommended by the manufacturer.
Can I use this kit with other hob brands?
No, this kit is exclusively designed for use with Elica NT Fit and Elica NT Alpha Vented Induction Hob models.
What is the purpose of the chromed aesthetic profile?
The chromed aesthetic profile provides a finished and stylish look to the installation, enhancing the overall appearance of your kitchen.
Is professional installation required?
While not strictly required, if you are not comfortable with DIY installations, consulting a professional is recommended to ensure correct setup and optimal performance.
Where does the air go after being filtered?
The filtered air is released into the interspace between the wall and the cabinet.
How do I clean the ceramic filters?
Ceramic filters are generally not designed to be cleaned. Replace them when they become saturated or ineffective.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes two ceramic filters, a telescopic fitting for direct rear exit, and a chromed aesthetic profile.
Troubleshooting
Weak suction or poor air filtration.
Check the ceramic filters and replace them if necessary. Ensure the filters are correctly installed and that there are no blockages in the exhaust path.
Unpleasant odors persist after cooking.
Ensure the ceramic filters are in good condition and replace them if they're saturated with grease or odors. Make sure the hob is properly installed and sealed.
The telescopic fitting doesn't fit properly.
Adjust the telescopic fitting to the correct length (137-223mm) to fit your specific installation. Ensure it's securely attached to both the hob and the exhaust opening.
