FAQs
How long does this filter really last?
With proper maintenance and regular cleaning, this filter can last up to three years.
Can I use this in a non-Elica hood?
No, this filter is specifically designed for Elica Hidden HT hoods and may not fit or function correctly in other brands.
How often should I put it in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to clean the filter every 2-3 months, depending on how frequently you cook and the types of food prepared.
Is it safe to put in the dishwasher with other dishes?
It is recommended to wash the filter alone or with other metal components to prevent food debris from clogging the filter mesh.
Do I need to replace the charcoal inside?
No, the regeneration process restores the filter's capacity, so you do not need to replace the internal charcoal media manually.
Troubleshooting
Odors are still present after cleaning
Ensure the filter has been fully dried after the dishwasher cycle and check that it is seated correctly in the housing.
Reduced airflow through the hood
The filter may be saturated with grease; perform a regeneration cycle in the dishwasher to clear the charcoal pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the CFC0140096 is designed to be tool-free, typically sliding or clipping directly into the intake housing of the Elica Hidden HT hood. Before installing, ensure the power to the hood is disconnected for safety. For care, the filter should be removed periodically and placed in the dishwasher according to the manufacturer's specific settings—usually on a cycle that does not use harsh detergents. Always ensure the filter is completely dry before re-inserting it into the unit to prevent moisture buildup within the hood's motor housing. Verify that your specific hood model is the 'Hidden HT' series, as this filter is model-specific.
