Hood accessory Elica KIT RECYCLING NT EVO BACKOUTLET – recirculation kit for Elica NT EVO hoods

The Elica KIT RECYCLING NT EVO BACKOUTLET is a recirculation accessory designed specifically for Elica NT EVO range hoods. It allows conversion of the hood from ducted extraction to recirculating mode, routing extracted air through filters and returning it to the kitchen via the hood's rear outlet. This accessory is intended for installations where external ducting is not available or where recirculation is preferred to simplify installation and maintain indoor air management.

Advantages

The kit provides a practical solution for converting Elica NT EVO hoods to recirculating operation without modifying building ventilation. It uses the hood's back outlet to return filtered air, preserving the hood's functionality while avoiding the need for external ductwork. Installation reduces the requirement for structural changes and can be combined with appropriate charcoal and grease filters to maintain air quality. The accessory is manufactured to match the hood's design and airflow path, ensuring compatibility with the specified model series.

Suitable for

• Homes or apartments lacking an external vent or exhaust duct.
• Kitchen renovations where creating or altering ductwork is impractical or costly.
• Locations requiring flexible installation options for Elica NT EVO range hoods.
• Users who prefer recirculation to maintain indoor temperature and avoid cold drafts from outside vents.

When it may not be suitable

The recirculation kit is not appropriate when permanent extraction to the outside is required by building codes or for kitchens producing very high volumes of steam, smoke or strong odors where external exhaust provides more effective removal. In situations where maximum removal of airborne contaminants is needed, a ducted installation remains preferable.

Key specifications

• Function: Conversion from ducted extraction to recirculating mode using rear outlet.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with Elica NT EVO series range hoods.
• Airflow path: Redirects exhaust through internal filters and back into the room via the hood back outlet.
• Installation type: Retrofit accessory for hood modification without external ductwork.
• Materials and finish: Matching materials intended to integrate with the hood's appearance and airflow components.

How to use

Install the recirculation kit following the hood manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines. The kit is attached to the hood's rear outlet to redirect airflow through the hood's internal filter system. Fit suitable grease filters and an active carbon filter (where required) before operating the hood in recirculating mode. After installation, verify that airflow is properly directed through the rear outlet and that filters are seated correctly to ensure effective air treatment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your specific Elica NT EVO hood model.
• Check whether local building regulations allow recirculating installations in your property.
• Consider additional filter types (charcoal/active carbon) required for effective odor removal.
• Assess ventilation needs of the kitchen to determine if recirculation meets performance expectations.

Usage recommendations

Replace grease filters regularly according to usage and clean or replace carbon filters as recommended by the filter manufacturer. Use the hood at appropriate fan speeds for cooking tasks to optimize filtration efficiency, and schedule periodic inspections to ensure ductless recirculation components remain properly fitted and unobstructed.
