FAQs
How do I clean the grease filters?
The grease filters are typically removable and washable. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on removing and cleaning them. They should be cleaned regularly to maintain optimal performance.
What is the difference between ducted and recirculating installation?
Ducted installation vents cooking odours and steam outside your home through external ducting. Recirculating installation filters the air and releases it back into the kitchen, typically requiring the replacement of carbon filters.
Can I control the hood with my smartphone?
Yes, this model features Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to control it via the Elica app on your smartphone or tablet. You can also use voice commands with compatible assistants.
What is the energy efficiency class of this hood?
This cooker hood has an energy efficiency class of 'B' on a scale of A+++ to D.
How often should I replace the carbon filters?
The frequency of carbon filter replacement depends on usage. Typically, they need replacing every 3-6 months. Consult your user manual for precise recommendations based on your cooking habits.
What is the maximum extraction power?
The maximum extraction power is 757 m³/h, with an intensive speed option available for rapid air clearing.
Does the hood have a timer function?
Yes, it features a 'Delay Switch Off' function that allows you to set the hood to turn off automatically after a predetermined time, ensuring residual odours are removed.
Troubleshooting
Hood not turning on
Check the power supply connection and ensure the circuit breaker is activated. Verify that the touch controls are clean and dry.
Low extraction power
Clean or replace the grease filters and carbon filters (if applicable). Ensure there are no blockages in the ducting or exhaust vents. Check if the correct speed setting is selected.
Lights not working
Ensure the hood is powered on. If the LED bulbs have burnt out, they may need replacement following the manufacturer's instructions.
App control not responding
Verify your Wi-Fi connection is stable. Ensure the hood is properly connected to your network and that the Elica app is updated. Try restarting both the hood and your router.
Excessive noise during operation
Ensure the hood is securely mounted. Check for any loose parts or obstructions. Very high speeds can naturally produce more noise; ensure you are using appropriate speeds for the cooking conditions.
