Built-in hood Elica ERA BL/A/60 — charcoal filter, energy class D, max noise 65 dB

The ELICA ERA BL/A built-in hood (models 52 cm and 60 cm) with charcoal filter is designed for integration into kitchen cabinetry to provide discrete extraction and air recirculation. This hood is intended for use where ducting to the outside is not possible or when a recirculating installation is preferred. The unit operates at a maximum noise level of 65 dB and is categorized with energy efficiency class D, offering a compact solution for basic kitchen ventilation needs.

Advantages

The ELICA ERA BL/A hood combines compact dimensions for 52 cm and 60 cm installation widths with a charcoal filtration option that removes odors during recirculation. Its built-in design allows for a flush integration into cabinets, preserving kitchen aesthetics while providing functional ventilation. The documented maximum noise level of 65 dB sets expectations for sound during higher extraction settings. Energy efficiency class D provides a clear indicator of power consumption relative to performance.

• Small to medium kitchens requiring a built-in hood behind cabinetry
• Homes where external ducting is impractical and recirculation is required
• Apartments or rental properties where minimal visible equipment is desired

How to use

Install the hood into the prepared cabinet space corresponding to the chosen width (52 cm or 60 cm) following manufacturer installation instructions and local electrical regulations. Fit the charcoal filter in the designated filter housing for recirculating operation and ensure the filter is correctly seated before use. Switch the hood on prior to cooking and select the appropriate extraction power; the hood will recirculate air through the charcoal filter to reduce cooking odors. Maintain clear access to controls for normal operation.

Usage recommendations

Replace the charcoal filter according to the frequency of cooking and the manufacturer’s guidance to maintain odor removal efficiency. Clean grease filters regularly and confirm that cabinet openings for air circulation are unobstructed to ensure proper recirculating performance and to keep noise levels within expected ranges.
