Elica hoods can be installed with an extractor or filtering version.
If the hood is installed in extractor mode, the fumes are expelled directly to the outside via the ducting pipe. To ensure that the extractor mode works correctly, we suggest you observe the following indications:
Use a ducting pipe with the shortest length necessary.
Use a ducting pipe with the least number of bends possible (maximum bend angle: 90°).
Avoid drastic changes in the ducting pipe diameter.
If the hood, however, is installed in filtering mode, it is essential to install a carbon filter in the relevant slot. The carbon filter allows the air in the hood to be purified and reintroduced into the room without having to expel it. It is essential to carry out periodic maintenance of the carbon filter.
