FAQs

How do I install the Elica Fold cooker hood?

Follow the instructions in the quick installation guide and the user manual. The hood has a unique system that allows easy installation in a few steps. Make sure to choose the ducted or recirculating mode before beginning installation.

What type of filter does the hood use?

The hood uses an aluminum grease filter, which is washable. If using the recirculating mode, you will need a separate charcoal filter (CFC0140343 or CFC0162221).

How do I clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter can be cleaned by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling it.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

Replace the charcoal filter every 3-6 months, depending on your cooking frequency.

What are the different speed settings?

The Elica Fold hood has three speed settings and an intensive mode for quick extraction.

What is the warranty period?

The product warranty information is not included in the provided data. Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact the manufacturer for specific warranty details.

Can I use this hood in a kitchen with a gas hob?

Yes, ensure a minimum distance of 65 cm between the hood and the gas hob.

What type of lighting does the hood use?

The hood uses strip LED lights (3500K) for optimal cooktop illumination.

Troubleshooting

Hood is not turning on.

Check the power connection and ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Make sure the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Poor extraction performance.

Clean or replace the grease filter. Ensure that the ducting (if applicable) is not blocked. Check the charcoal filter (if installed) and replace it if necessary.

LED lights are not working.

Check the bulb connections and, if necessary, replace the LED bulbs (2 x 2.1W).

Excessive noise during operation.

Ensure the hood is correctly installed and that the ducting (if used) is properly connected and free of obstructions. Reduce the fan speed if possible.
