Air
fi
lterin
g
There are two separate air
fi
ltering barriers in one hood
.
The
fi
rst, a grease
fi
lter, is always present and is located at the air intake area o
f
the product.
The grease
fi
lter protects the inside o
f
the product by
fi
ltering the heaviest grease particles
out o
f
the air which has been sucked in. Di
ff
erent types o
f
fi
lter are available: synthetic
material
fi
lters (which should be replaced regularly), aluminium
fi
lters (which are washable)
and aluminium
fi
lter grids (AFGs), which may be removed easily and washed by hand using
was

ing up

The second type o
f
fi
lter, the odour
fi
lter, is only present in
fi
ltering versions. These are

The traditional solution consists o
f
a plastic container (shaped as necessary) holding granules
o
f
active carbon. This special carbon is able to trap and treat grease, moisture and odours.
These
fi
lters should be replaced regularly, every 3 to 4 months
.
Elica can also o
ff
er an innovative technological solution: the Long Li
f
e Filter
.
This special
fi
lter guarantees a high level o
f
e
ffi
ciency but, in contrast to the traditional version,
it has an extremely long li
f
e cycle. It is not even replaced but instead is reconditioned (normal
washing using the dishwasher,
f
ollowed by drying in the oven
f
or 10 minutes at 100°C) and

Pro
f
essional
fi
lter
Elica’s wealth o
f
experience has enabled the company to create a grease
fi
lter which is
innovative in its
d
esign, in t

an

. T
h
e specia
l
internal “labyrinth” structure traps the grease particles in the air without a
ff
ecting the
per
f
ormance o
f
the hood. Created entirely in steel, the
fi
lter can be cleaned easily without the
risk o
f
its per
f
ormance or appearance being a
ff
ected over time. Thanks to its decidedly solid
and pro
f
essional appearance, this
fi
lter enhances the most up-to-date product ranges
.

The products

f

Perimeter Aspiratio
n
Perimeter aspiration represents an alternative aspiration technology. The product
f
unctions
in such a way that the air
f
low is moved
f
rom the central area to the external perimeter
o
f
the hood, a technique that not only does not overload the motor power but in
f
act
reduces energy consumption and noise. This method also creates a di
ff
erent visual e
ff
ect,
and Elica has taken advantage o
f
this to make the hood even more beauti
f
ul. The use o
f
a
steel and glass panel provides better illumination
f
or the cooking area and also completely
covers the grease
f
ilter, thus greatly simpli
f
ying cleaning and maintenance operations

Optimise
d
Aspiration System
Every product has its own
f
eatures in terms o
f
noise and per
f
ormance. The challenge Elica
set itsel
f
was to increase the
f
ume capture capacity while keeping the sound emitted by the
product down to a constant level. Reducing the aspiration sur
f
ace creates a power
