Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Elica DOLCE requires a wall-mounted setup with a minimum clearance of 60 cm from an electric hob and 70 cm from a gas hob to comply with safety standards. The unit supports both ducted and recirculating extraction types, offering versatility based on your kitchen's existing ventilation. Regular maintenance involves cleaning the aluminium grease filters; because these are regeneratable, they should be washed frequently to maintain peak performance. Wipe the exterior taupe surface with a non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent to keep the finish looking pristine, avoiding harsh chemicals that may affect the surface texture.
