To guarantee long durability and proper operation of your hood or induction hob with extractor, you must first keep the filtering system in top condition. Additionally, careful and regular cleaning is essential in avoiding the spread of unpleasant odours, germs and bacteria.
Regular filter maintenance guarantees:
There are various types of grease filters, including aluminium filters (the most common), stainless steel filters, steel filters and acrylic filters. The latter, in comparison to the others, must be replaced once every month, while metal filters must be cleaned monthly with gentle detergents, by hand or in the dishwasher at a low temp and short cycle.
Dishwasher washing may discolour metal filters; however, this does not affect their filtering characteristics in any way.
50 years of experience in the production of domestic kitchen hoods has led Elica to create a line of accessories specifically developed to guarantee protection over time, performance and longer durability of your hood. Our cleaning product line includes: a cream detergent for stainless steel, a multi-purpose cream detergent, multi-use detergent, an antibacterial microfiber cloth, a magic sponge and an ultra-micro fibre cloth.

Ceramic filters are modular charcoal filters that are regenerated in the oven every 2/3 months at 200°C for 45 minutes and up to 5 years. This allows for high levels of odour absorbing efficiency and high mechanical resistance.
Odour filter with a very high efficiency level >82%, able to regenerate and last up to a max of 3 years, in comparison to standard filters. To maintain such characteristics, the filters must be washed every 2 or 3 months with warm water and gentle detergents, or in the dishwasher at 65°C and then dried in the oven for 10 minutes at 100°C.
This filter has the same characteristics as HP regenerable charcoal filters, but with a filtering efficiency ranging between 40-60%.
Traditional odour filters are made up of a mixture of activated charcoals, which lose efficiency with use and have an average life span of 3-6 months.
