FAQs
What does 'modular' mean for this hood?
Modular means you can customize the layout by choosing different combinations of extraction units, light panels, and shelving to perfectly fit your kitchen's aesthetic and functional needs.
How do I control the hood with my voice?
You can control the hood using voice commands by first connecting it to your Wi-Fi network via the Elica Connect App and then linking it to a compatible voice assistant like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
Are the Long-Life filters reusable?
Yes, the Long-Life filters are designed to be washable and regenerable, typically lasting up to three years with proper care, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.
What is the difference between Ducted and Recirculating extraction?
Ducted extraction vents fumes and odors outside your home, while Recirculating extraction filters the air and releases it back into the kitchen. The Open Suite supports both types.
How often should I clean the filters?
The frequency depends on your cooking habits. The Maintenance Alarm feature in the Elica app will notify you when the filters need attention, ensuring optimal performance.
Can I adjust the color of the LED light?
Yes, the 'Tune White' feature allows you to adjust the LED light tone from cool white to warmer tones, and 'Dim Light' lets you control the overall brightness.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product documentation or Elica's official website for the most current warranty information, as it may vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Hood not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check your home's circuit breaker. Verify that the main switch for the hood is activated.
App cannot connect to the hood
Make sure your home Wi-Fi network is active and within range. Confirm the hood is powered on and within Wi-Fi range. Restart the hood and your router. Re-initiate the pairing process in the Elica app.
Reduced extraction power
Check if the grease filters or Long-Life filters are dirty or clogged. Clean or regenerate them according to the manual. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the air intake or outlet.
LED lights not working
Check the power supply. If the issue persists, the LED bulbs may need replacement. Consult the user manual for replacement instructions.
Voice commands are not recognized
Ensure the hood is properly connected to Wi-Fi and linked to your voice assistant account. Speak clearly and use the correct command phrases as specified in the Elica app.
