Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Installation: Follow the detailed installation guide provided with your Elica Fold cooker hood. Note that professional installation is recommended. The hood utilizes a patented mounting system with clips and screws to make installation fast and easy.
- Electrical Connection: Ensure the cooker hood is connected to a 240V, 50 Hz power supply.
- Ducting or Recirculation:
- Ducted: Connect the hood to an external vent using the appropriate ducting.
- Recirculating: Install a charcoal filter (CFC0140343) or regeneratable filter (CFC0162221) if recirculating. These filters are sold separately and are essential for removing odors.

The Elica Fold is compatible with most standard kitchen cabinets. Check the dimensions (H 231 x W 714 x D 283mm) to ensure it fits your cabinetry. Make sure to maintain the minimum distance from the hob as specified in the manual.
- Minimum distance from an electric hob: 45 cm.
- Minimum distance from a gas hob: 65 cm.
Care
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Grease Filter: The aluminum grease filter is washable. Remove it and wash it regularly (every 1-2 months, depending on usage) in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.
- Charcoal Filter (if installed): Replace or regenerate the charcoal filter as per the manufacturer's instructions. The frequency will depend on usage. The regeneratable filter can be regenerated in the oven, as indicated in the product instructions.
