Built-in hood ELICA HIDDEN 2.0 IXGL/A/90, grease filter, noise level 65 dB

The ELICA HIDDEN 2.0 IXGL/A/90 is a built-in hood designed to integrate discreetly into kitchen cabinetry while providing effective ventilation. It includes a grease filter and operates at a noise level of 65 dB. Engineered for medium to large kitchens, the unit offers a maximum extraction rate appropriate for removing smoke and cooking odors and presents a low-profile aesthetic that remains hidden when not in use.

Advantages

The hood's built-in design allows for seamless installation inside kitchen units, preserving a clean and minimalist look. A dedicated grease filter captures airborne grease to protect internal components and improve air quality. The specified noise level of 65 dB provides a measurable acoustic characteristic to compare with other models. The hood's maximum extraction capability makes it suitable for more intensive cooking sessions in medium to large kitchens.

Suitable for

• Medium to large kitchens requiring a built-in, concealed ventilation solution
• Homes where preserving a minimalist cabinetry appearance is desired
• Cooking environments that generate moderate to high amounts of smoke or odors

When it may not be suitable

This built-in hood may not be suitable for very small kitchens where a compact or decorative external hood is preferred. It may also be less appropriate for installations where ultra-quiet operation is required, since the rated noise level is 65 dB.

Key specifications

• Type: Built-in (concealed) kitchen hood
• Filtration: Grease filter included
• Noise level: 65 dB
• Intended extraction capacity: Suitable for medium to large kitchens (maximum extraction rate indicated for this class)
• Design: Low-profile, integrates into cabinetry

How to use

Install the hood inside a compatible kitchen cupboard or dedicated housing according to the manufacturer's installation guidelines. Use the control interface to switch the hood on before cooking and select the appropriate extraction level for the amount of smoke or odor produced. Regularly check and clean or replace the grease filter as recommended to maintain extraction efficiency and protect internal components.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure cabinet dimensions and installation space are compatible with a built-in hood model
• Confirm the hood's extraction capacity meets the needs of your kitchen size and typical cooking load
• Consider the noise level of 65 dB and whether this is acceptable for your living environment
• Plan for regular maintenance of the grease filter to sustain performance

Usage recommendations

Run the hood at a higher extraction level during frying or strong-odor cooking and allow it to run for several minutes after cooking to clear residual odors. Schedule routine grease filter cleaning at intervals aligned with your cooking frequency to maintain optimal airflow and efficiency.
