Design is the unifying element and guiding philosophy of the

entire Elica Collection. Universally acclaimed for its radically

innovative appearance, Elica Collection transforms a kitchen into
a unique and distinctive environment. Central to the whole range
of products are the items produced in partnership with David
Lewis, who has been amazing the world with his designs for more
than 30 years.

Today, Elica Collection products are far more than simple

hoods for domestic kitchens: they have personalities that define
the environment they are installed in. Elica no longer designs
hoods: it designs the air itself.

Elica Collection

Evocative in line and form, innovative in performance: these

are the hallmarks of the products conceived by David Lewis, con-
cepts which have guaranteed his Bang & Olufsen hi-fi systems a
place in the world’s most prestigious museums of contemporary
design. These are products which even after years of use are still
as pleasurable to look at as when they were first bought. Products
which are based on the conviction that the things we have around
us should be sources of inspiration, filling our lives with a sense of
harmony.

 Technology: Meteo technology

Capta AST Meteo

The Meteo hoods: a window on the weather.

A question we often ask ourselves over breakfast is: should we take our umbrellas with us
when we go out? And often in the evening, relaxing with a cup of something hot, we wonder
what the best way would be to spend our free time the following day. Weather conditions
often mirror our moods and often involuntarily cause them, too: why not admit it? Now, the
Meteo hoods are here to help us out: a magical display that can forecast the weather,
allowing us to decide how we should dress for the day.

6
 Antartica Meteo

Meteo’s digital display is an innovative interface which, in addition to the

electronic control of all the various operations of the hood, incorporates
instruments that can measure external weather conditions.

The liquid crystal display mounted on the product can provide several
types of information, including atmospheric pressure and a weather forecast.
It is also able, through an advanced communication system, to “talk” to a
sensor mechanism placed outside the house (optional) which indicates
atmospheric temperature.

The back-lit display includes a digital clock and a timer with an audible
signal which can be set to tell you when the correct cooking time has elapsed.
Naturally, the display also includes all the relevant data concerning the
operational status of the hood, fan speed, and the condition of the filters.

Ast Meteo display

In some models, the Meteo system can be combined with AST sensor
technology, for automatic running as well as weather information.

7
 Technology: Perimeter aspiration

Om

Perimeter aspiration represents an alternative aspiration technology. The product

functions in such a way that the airflow is moved from the central area to the external
perimeter of the hood, a technique that reduces energy consumption and makes the hood
even quieter

8
 This method also creates a different visual effect, and Elica has taken advantage of this
to make the hood even more striking. The use of a steel and glass panel provides better
illumination for the cooking area and also completely covers the grease filter, thus greatly
simplifying cleaning and care.

 Technology: Automatic Sensor Technology

Artica Ast

AST, a technological innovation developed in the Elica laboratory, makes use of 3 sensors: heat,
temperature and humidity. These sensors enable the hood to react to what is happening on the cooking
surface: they can switch the hood on, control the fan speed and switch the hood off. The sensors monitor the
most important elements of cooking:

Heat (red colour)

the sensor starts working when it registers an increase in temperature in the cooking area;

Temperature (yellow colour)

the sensor continually monitors the difference in temperature between the general environment and the area
immediately below the hood;

Humidity (blue colour)

the sensor measures the level of humidity produced by the cooking area.

10
 Apart from having the obvious convenience of no longer
needing to manually control the hood, a further advantage
of the AST system is improved efficiency of ventilation in
the kitchen and hence a superior quality of air combined
with an optimised level of noise. In addition, there is a
considerable saving in energy usage.

All the products that use the AST technology can also
be used manually.

With these three sensors, AST functions with all types

of cooktop: gas, electric, induction etc.

 A closer look
MEASURING METHODS: ASPIRATION POWER AND NOISE
The aspiration power (expressed in m3/h) of Elica hoods is
measured both in free outlet and according to the specific val-
ues laid down by the IEC61591 Standard. This standard states
the exact conditions of the test to be carried out, and specifies
that the measurement of the air taken in by the hood requires
the attachment of a standard pipe to the product (1 metre recti-
linear + 90° curve + 1 metre rectilinear).
The standard also establishes the reference parameters to
obtain the correct aspiration value: 200 m3/h and 15Pa.
Sound power values (expressed in dB(A)) are measured
according to the instructions contained in the IEC60704-1 and
IEC60704-2-13 standards.

SAFETY TESTS
During the production process, a painstaking series of more
than 50 tests and examinations is used to ensure the safety and
functionality of Elica hoods. Materials, electrical parts and
electronic components are repeatedly tested in order to guarantee
total conformity to the strictest safety standards. All plastic materials
employed in the hoods are made of self-extinguishing material.

CERTIFICATIONS
Elica certifications include ISO 9001 and VISION2000, as well
as the ISO 14001 certification of environmental management.
All Elica products are CE certified and so conform to
Community directives relating to Electromagnetic Compatibility
and Low Tension. With the aim of providing extra safety
guarantees, Elica uses prestigious international certification
institutes such as Nemko and Demko, amongst others.

SILENCE KIT
The Elica Collection Silence Kit uses a panel of sound-proof
material. This panel is easy to take out and wash and provides
a radical reduction in noise, lowering the noise level by 3 dBA,
equal to 50% of emitted sound. In line with Elica’s ecological
policies, the panel is completely recyclable.

77
 CONTROLS
A wide selection of Elica Collection control systems is available,
all of them clearly visible, ergonomic and easy to reach. They
range from the back-lit Soft Light push buttons to the completely
electronic Touch Control, Touch Screen, Visual Control and
Control Ball.

REMOTE CONTROL
Several models come with a stylish remote control that allows
you to switch the hood and the lighting on and off and also reg-
ulate the aspiration speed.

LIGHTING
Lighting has always been a key factor for Elica, who have made
it the subject of ongoing research. Aware that lighting plays an
important functional role and at the same time possesses great
aesthetic value with its ability to create atmosphere and tone,
Elica Collection offers a wide choice of lighting solutions,
ranging from traditional incandescent lights to halogen, neon,
and highly innovative systems such as fibre optics.
Some models also come with back-up lighting, an efficient
emergency illumination system that switches on automatically in
case of a power failure in the house.

3D adjustment system

3D ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
It’s extremely important that a hood should be quick and simple
to install, especially if it is one of the larger models. The 3D
installation system makes it possible to install the hood
perfectly, avoiding any problems that may arise from the linearity
of the wall and providing accurate alignment with the kitchen
cupboards.

QUALITY OF MATERIAL AND FINISHING

Only the highest quality materials are used in Elica Collection
products: tempered glass, stainless steel and aluminium. This
high quality, attention to detail during construction and precision
finishing, all come together in a superior, longer-lasting stan-
dard of product.

78
 CLEANING
Even during the planning phase, Elica is careful to consider
aspects related to product cleaning and maintenance. All parts
are easy to reach, and can be cleaned safely and quickly. The
highly efficient grease filters are composed of aluminium and
steel layers and can be washed in the dishwasher to provide
quick, simple and efficient maintenance.

STARSHINING
Starshining, an Elica patent, is an innovative surface treatment
for aluminium which increases surface resistance to chemical
substances in detergents, grease, abrasions, and scratching, as
well as giving the product a very special high-quality, long-
lasting look.

EXTERNAL MOTOR
Elica knows that the user is always in search of a hood that
provides the best possible performance, and so many models in
the Elica Collection are now available in versions with external
motors. These are motors situated at a distance from the hood,
outside the kitchen environment, or even outside the house
itself. This new technical solution guarantees an improvement in
aspiration performance of almost 35% in comparison to a hood

External installation Attic installation Installation in adjacent room

The various installation methods for the external motor

with an internally installed motor, and in addition offers a 20%

reduction in noise.

OPTIMISED ASPIRATION SYSTEM

Every product has its own features in terms of noise and
performance. The challenge Elica set itself was to increase the
fume capture capacity while keeping the sound emitted by the
product down to a constant level. Reducing the aspiration
surface creates a powerful increase in the speed with which air
is drawn in by the hood. This generates a consistent depression
above the cooking surface and so even the hottest fumes or
those furthest away are sucked in towards the aspiration area.
All Elica Collection products are planned according to these
specific features.

PERIMETER ASPIRATION
Perimeter aspiration represents an alternative aspiration
technology. The product functions in such a way that the airflow
is moved from the central area to the external perimeter of the

79
 hood, a technique that not only does not overload the motor
power but in fact reduces energy consumption and noise.
This method also creates a different visual effect, and Elica has
taken advantage of this to make the hood even more beautiful.
The use of a steel and glass panel provides better illumination
for the cooking area and also completely covers the grease filter,
thus greatly simplifying cleaning and maintenance operations for
the product.

AST
Elica-patented Automatic Sensor Technology employs an
intelligent system of sensors that can switch the hood on, control
the aspiration power and switch the hood off, as necessity requires.

METEO
Arising from the cooperation between different companies within
the Elica Group, Meteo technology makes it possible for the
hoods with which it is equipped to visualise information about
external atmospheric conditions, using an innovative liquid
crystal control panel.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE HOOD YOU NEED

The airflow power required normally depends on the size of
kitchen and type of cooking.
The correct airflow for the product to be installed can be easily

worked out. Simply multiply the volume of the kitchen by ten and
you will obtain the ideal airflow for that room. For example, for a
kitchen of 3m x 4m with a height of 2.7m: (3 x 4 x 2.7) x 10 = 324.
Any product with airflow superior to 324 m3/h will therefore
guarantee the complete and efficient ventilation of the room.
Efficient aspiration of fumes from the cook top also depends on
the correct use of the product and the system of ducting
installed.

PROFESSIONAL FILTER
The professional filter is an Elica patent and represents an evo-
lutionary jump in the conception of the grease filter system. Its
use means that a typical domestic hood can produce a level of
filter performance similar to that of an industrial product. The
special asymmetrical form of the small holes which make up the
all-steel filter retain more efficiently the particles of grease and
oil produced during cooking.

80
ACCESSORIES
On request, Elica can provide a range of accessories for their
hoods.

LONG LIFE FILTER

The Long Life odour filter is used in filter version hoods and
can be washed then dried in the oven to give it an efficient life
span of three years. Comparing this with the 3-4 month life of
normal carbon filters, you can see why this version guaran-
tees a considerable saving in terms of expenditure and main-
tenance.

MUFFLE
This accessory is a noise reduction system which when at-
tached to the hood provides a significant reduction in noise
level, making the product as silent as possible.

ANTISTATIC CLEANING CLOTH

All Elica Collection hoods come with a special microfibre cloth
for the cleaning of steel. Replacements can be purchased.

SHINE SPONGE
The Shine sponge, which can be bought as an accessory, is
specially designed to clean your hood - but can also be used
to remove dirt from other surfaces. No detergent is required -
just water.

REMOTE SENSOR TEMPERATURA

Available as an accessory on all models equipped with Meteo
or Meteo + AST technology, it reads the atmospheric tempe-
rature and visualises it on the LCD Display.
