Charcoal Filter Elica mod.150 – Replacement Carbon Filter for Cooker Hoods

Elica charcoal filter mod.150 is a replacement carbon filter designed to reduce cooking odors and capture airborne grease in compatible cooker hoods. Intended for periodic replacement, this filter helps maintain ventilation performance and indoor air quality in residential kitchens where recirculation or partial filtration is used. The product fits cooker hoods that accept the mod.150 filter format and is supplied as a single replacement element for homeowners or service technicians.

Advantages

The activated carbon media in the filter adsorbs a wide range of food and smoke odors, improving perceived air quality without requiring external ducting. Its shape and dimensions are matched to Elica systems that accept mod.150 filters, enabling direct replacement and restoring designed filtration efficiency. Regular replacement prevents saturation of the filter media, which helps sustain airflow and reduces grease deposits in the hood’s internal components.

Suitable for

• Domestic cooker hoods that use recirculation mode and accept mod.150 carbon filters
• Replacement maintenance to restore odor removal capacity
• Residential kitchens where ducting to the outside is not available or preferred

When it may not be suitable

This charcoal filter is not suitable for extractor hoods designed exclusively for external ducting without internal filtration, since those systems rely on venting rather than carbon adsorption. It will not remove airborne particles to the same degree as dedicated particulate filters and is not intended to replace grease filters; it specifically targets odors and certain gaseous components associated with cooking.

Key specifications

• Filter type: Activated carbon (charcoal) filter for odor adsorption
• Compatibility: Designed for cooker hoods accepting mod.150 format
• Function: Odor reduction and partial airborne grease adsorption in recirculating mode
• Application: Single replacement element for residential use

How to use

Turn off and unplug the cooker hood or disconnect power before beginning replacement. Remove the external grease filter or access panel according to the hood manufacturer’s instructions to reach the existing carbon filter. Extract the spent mod.150 carbon filter and insert the new Elica mod.150 filter in the correct orientation until it seats securely. Reinstall the grease filter or access panel and restore power. Follow the hood’s maintenance guidelines for recommended replacement intervals based on cooking frequency and local air quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your cooker hood accepts the mod.150 carbon filter format and matches the dimensions and mounting method
• Determine the recommended replacement interval from the hood manufacturer or based on cooking habits
• Remember that this filter addresses odors and some gaseous compounds but is not a grease-only or particulate HEPA filter

Usage recommendations

For best performance, replace the charcoal filter at the intervals recommended by your hood manufacturer or sooner if you notice persistent odors. Use alongside regular cleaning of grease filters and grease-trap components to maintain airflow and prolong the service life of the cooker hood.
