Designed for island-style kitchen layouts, this unit features a unique cube shape in a striking denim blue, offering 620 m³/h of extraction power and efficient LED lighting.

FAQs
Is this hood suitable for wall mounting?
It is designed as an island hood, but can be wall-mounted if you purchase the separate ancillary installation kit.
How do I clean the aluminium filters?
They can be cleaned in a dishwasher on a standard cycle or hand-washed using a mild degreasing detergent.
What is the noise level during operation?
The hood operates at 60dB, which is relatively quiet and comparable to normal conversation levels.
Does this model include a built-in display?
No, the Elica Pix features a sleek, minimalist design without a digital display.
How often should I replace the filters?
The aluminium grease filters are permanent and washable, while the Long Life filters should be maintained as specified in your user guide for optimal air quality.
Troubleshooting
The hood suction seems weaker than usual
Check the aluminium grease filters for blockages and wash them if they are saturated with grease.
LED light is flickering or not turning on
Ensure the connection is secure and check if the bulb requires replacement with an identical 7W LED unit.
Odours are not being removed effectively
The Long Life filter may be saturated. Consult your manual for the regeneration or replacement schedule.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Elica Pix is designed primarily for island applications. If you prefer a wall-mounted setup, you must purchase the separate ancillary installation kit. Ensure the hood is installed at the manufacturer-recommended height above your hob for optimal capture.
Maintenance Routine:
- Grease Filters: These are made of aluminium and should be washed regularly in the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water to prevent grease buildup.
- Long Life Filters: Since this is a recirculation model, ensure the included Long Life filters are replaced or regenerated according to the user manual to maintain odour-neutralizing performance.
- External Housing: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent to clean the blue finish; avoid abrasive sponges to preserve the texture.
