Replacing the carbon filter on a regular basis is necessary when the hood is used in the filtering configuration.

 Every filter has been specifically developed to maximise the air purification capability. 

We recommend replacing the carbon filter every 3-4 months to ensure that the hood works perfectly.

The standard carbon filters are disposable and last 3-4 months. Long-life filters, on the other hand, last 3 years. 

To maintain them correctly, they should be washed every 2-3 months in the dishwasher at 65° or by hand with hot water and neutral detergent and then, dried in the oven at 100° for 10 minutes.

Ceramic filters can be fitted if NikolaTesla is installed in the filtering version. 

These filters last for 2-3 years and can be regenerated in the oven at 200° for 45 minutes. To maintain them correctly, repeat this operation every 3 months.

Cleaning the grease filter ensure that the hood filtering system is maintained in the best possible state and guarantees long-term durability and correct hood operation. 

The grease filter should be washed by hand or in the dishwasher (on a low temperature setting) with neutral detergents (short cycle). The filter should be washed at least once a month and based on your individual needs. 

We also recommend periodically replacing it to improve the grease capturing capabilities. 

Always check how to wash the filter in the product instruction manual.

The grease filter may become discoloured after being washed in the dishwasher, but its filtering features and performance are not, in any way, affected.

Installing a carbon filter is normally a very quick and simple operation. All the information is outlined in the product installation manual. 

If you have mislaid the installation manual, you can download it directly in the data sheet of your hood model.

The carbon filter guarantees that stale air, generated during cooking in the kitchen, is regularly cleaned. 

The carbon filter has a specific life cycle. As time passes, the grease particles that accumulate may block the passage of air so the filtering process becomes less efficient and the motor becomes noisier. 
The plant-based activated carbon captures unpleasant odours, particles and unwanted substances before reintroducing the filtered air into your kitchen. 
Replacing the carbon filter on a regular basis is necessary when the hood is used in the filtering configuration.

To ensure the very best results and problem-free use, Elica recommends that you only use original spare parts and accessories. 

Reliability, performance and safety must be accompanied by the quality of spare parts and accessories developed and manufactured following strict production criteria that only the parent company can guarantee, thus helping you to maintain the very high performance of Elica products in the long term.

The hood must be cleaned with neutral products (pH7) that are neither alkaline nor acid. 

Check that there are no harmful components such as soda, ammonia, chlorine or acid in the cleaning product. 

If the hood is made of steel, it is important to be careful about the type of cleaning product you purchase as the presence of the above-mentioned substances may have a harmful effect on the steel, causing stains or rust spots. 

The hood must be regularly cleaned both internally and externally in strict accordance with the maintenance instructions. 

Failure to follow the rules for hood cleaning, as well as filter and accessory replacement and cleaning may result in a fire hazard.
