Built-in hood ELICA CT17 GR/A/52, charcoal filter, 60 dB

The ELICA CT17 GR/A/52 built-in hood with a charcoal filter provides integrated ventilation and odor reduction for kitchen spaces. Designed for installation into cabinetry or custom housings, this model combines discreet appearance with functional air purification. The charcoal filter captures odors and some airborne particles while the unit's operation at approximately 60 dB makes it suitable for everyday use without excessive noise. The hood is intended for recirculation setups where external ducting is not available or desired.

Advantages

The included charcoal filter reduces cooking odors and helps limit grease-related smells in recirculating operation. With a rated operating noise around 60 dB, the appliance balances airflow performance and acoustic comfort suitable for standard domestic kitchens. Installation is straightforward for typical cabinet cutouts, and the hood’s neutral finish adapts to various interior styles.

Suitable for

• Homes or apartments where ducted extraction is not possible
• Integrated kitchen cabinets and custom-made furniture installations
• Everyday cooking that produces moderate odors and fumes
• Renovations aiming for a concealed ventilation solution

Key specifications

How to use

Install the hood into the allocated cabinet space following the manufacturer’s cutout dimensions and electrical requirements. For recirculation operation, fit the charcoal filter into the designated slot and ensure the fan and lighting (if present) are connected to the power supply. Switch the unit on before starting to cook to establish airflow, and select an appropriate speed for the intensity of cooking fumes. After cooking, allow the hood to run for several minutes to clear residual odors and particles.

Usage recommendations

Replace the charcoal filter according to usage frequency and the manufacturer’s guidance to maintain odor removal efficiency. Clean external surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners. For optimal performance, ensure cooker hobs are used within the hood’s coverage area and maintain clear airflow paths in the cabinet space.
