Built-in hood ELICA CT17 C IX/A/52, charcoal filter, 62 dB

The ELICA CT17 C IX/A/52 built-in hood is a compact extraction unit designed for medium-sized kitchens. With a 52 cm width and integrated charcoal filter, this hood reduces cooking odors and captures grease particles while operating at a noise level of 62 dB. The unit is intended for installation into kitchen cabinets or above cooking surfaces where a discreet, built-in appearance is required.

Advantages

The hood combines a compact footprint with effective odor and grease removal through its charcoal filtration system. Its 62 dB operating noise provides a balance between extraction performance and acceptable sound levels. The 52 cm width fits common cabinet dimensions, enabling straightforward integration into standard kitchen layouts. The design supports recirculation mode using the included charcoal filter, so ducting to the outside is not required when external venting is impractical.

Suitable for

• Medium-sized kitchens where a built-in extractor is preferred
• Kitchens without access to external ducting, using recirculation mode
• Homeowners seeking a discreet hood that fits standard 52 cm cabinet openings
• Cooking areas where moderate noise levels are acceptable

Key specifications

• Installation type: built-in / integrated
• Width: 52 cm
• Filtration: charcoal filter for odor reduction (recirculation mode)
• Noise level: 62 dB (during operation)
• Application: grease and odor capture above cooktops

How to use

Install the hood into a suitable 52 cm cabinet opening according to local electrical and mounting requirements. Configure the unit for recirculation by inserting the charcoal filter and closing any ducting outlets if external venting is not available. Switch the hood on before cooking to establish airflow and switch to a higher fan setting for frying or high-heat cooking. Clean the grease collection areas and replace the charcoal filter at intervals recommended by the manufacturer to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, operate the hood during all cooking activities and ensure regular maintenance: wash or clean any washable grease filters and replace the charcoal filter as needed. If possible, use a higher extraction setting for heavy cooking and allow the hood to run for a few minutes after finishing to clear residual odors and steam.
