Built-in hood ELICA CT23 BL MAT/A/52, charcoal filter, 59 dB

The ELICA CT23 BL MAT/A/52 is a built-in kitchen hood designed for recirculation with a charcoal filter to remove odors and grease particles. With a maximum airflow of 700 m³/h and three adjustable speeds, this 52 cm wide unit balances effective extraction with compact dimensions. LED lighting illuminates the cooktop while operation stays within a rated noise level of up to 59 dB. The hood is finished in a matte black appearance and is intended for flush installation into kitchen cabinetry or an extractor housing.

Advantages

This built-in hood provides high extraction capacity for its compact width, supporting intensive cooking without occupying extra visible space. The charcoal filter enables recirculation installation where external ducting is not possible, reducing odors and trapping grease. Three speed settings let you adapt ventilation intensity to different cooking needs, while LED lighting ensures clear visibility of the cooking surface with low energy consumption. Energy efficiency class B offers a balance between performance and power use.

Suitable for

• Small to medium kitchens with limited space for external ducting
• Flush installation inside overhead cabinets or extractor housings
• Homes where odor control via recirculation is preferred
• Cooking environments requiring moderate to high extraction up to 700 m³/h

How to use

Install the hood into a prepared cabinet opening according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions, ensuring correct alignment and secure mounting. For recirculation mode, fit the supplied charcoal filter and check that the cabinet has sufficient ventilation for air return. Use the control panel to select one of three speeds depending on cooking intensity; start at a low speed for light tasks and increase when boiling or frying. Switch on the LED lighting as needed for better visibility. Replace the charcoal filter periodically according to usage and the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule to maintain odor removal performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, run the hood a few minutes before cooking and for 10–15 minutes after finishing to clear residual odors and steam. Clean the grease-collecting surfaces regularly and replace the charcoal filter when saturation reduces odor absorption efficiency.
