Built-in Range Hood Elica ENTER BL MAT/A/72, model ENTER BL MAT/A/72, 72 cm

The Elica ENTER BL MAT/A/72 is a 72 cm built-in range hood designed to be integrated into kitchen cabinetry. It combines extraction and filtration to remove cooking fumes, grease and odors while remaining largely concealed behind a cabinet front. The matte finish and compact dimensions make it suitable for modern kitchens where a discreet ventilation solution is required without compromising extraction performance.

Advantages

This built-in range hood offers effective capture of steam and cooking smells through a dedicated extraction system optimized for domestic use. Its 72 cm width fits common cabinet sizes and allows for even coverage over typical cooktops. The concealed design reduces visual impact in the kitchen, and the matte finish minimizes visible fingerprints and reflections. Filtration and grease-trapping components are designed for routine cleaning and maintenance to ensure continued performance.

Suitable for

• Homes with a 72 cm cabinet opening where an integrated hood is preferred
• Cooktops (gas, electric, or induction) up to typical domestic widths
• Kitchens where a low-visibility ventilation solution is desired
• Users who require standard extraction and grease filtration without an external decorative canopy

When it may not be suitable

This built-in model may not be suitable for very large cooking areas or professional kitchens that require higher airflow rates and more heavy-duty extraction. It is also not intended as a freestanding or island hood; installation requires suitable cabinetry and ducting or recirculation setup. If an external decorative chimney or visible designer hood is required for aesthetic reasons, a built-in unit will not provide that visual effect.

Key specifications

• Type: built-in under-cabinet range hood
• Width: 72 cm
• Finish: matte surface
• Operation modes: extraction to ducting or recirculation with charcoal filters (dependent on installation)
• Grease filtration: washable grease filters
• Installation: integrated into kitchen cabinet space above the cooktop

How to use

Install the hood into the cabinet space above the cooking surface following the manufacturer’s installation instructions and local ventilation codes. Use the control panel to switch the extraction on before cooking and adjust fan speed according to the intensity of fumes. Replace or clean grease filters on a regular schedule and, if configured for recirculation, replace charcoal filters as recommended. Ensure ductwork is unobstructed if operating in ducted mode to maintain airflow efficiency.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure cabinet opening and distance to cooktop to confirm 72 cm unit fits correctly
• Decide between ducted extraction or recirculation installation and check availability of ducting route
• Verify local ventilation requirements and clearances specified for built-in installations
• Plan for regular access to filters for cleaning or replacement

Usage recommendations

For best results, run the hood at a moderate speed a few minutes before cooking and for several minutes after finishing to clear lingering odors. Clean the grease filters regularly according to the maintenance schedule and ensure any charcoal filters used in recirculation mode are replaced per the manufacturer’s guidance.
