For optimal performance, activate the range hood a few minutes before cooking and leave it running for approximately 10-15 minutes after cooking to clear residual odors and steam.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your range hood. Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.

Grease Filters

The appliance includes a grease filter. These metallic filters trap grease particles from cooking fumes. They should be cleaned frequently, at least once a month, depending on usage. They can be washed by hand using non-abrasive detergents or in a dishwasher at a low temperature.

Carbon Filters (for recirculation mode)

If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, it will be equipped with activated carbon filters (not included with all models). These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage.

Exterior Cleaning

Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth dampened with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or corrosive products, especially on the black glass finish.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Elica WISE BL/A90 range hood, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Hood does not turn on: Check if the appliance is properly plugged into the power outlet. Verify the circuit breaker.
• Low suction power: Ensure grease filters are clean and not clogged. Check if the exhaust ducting is clear and not obstructed. For recirculation models, check if carbon filters need replacement.
• Excessive noise: Ensure the hood is securely mounted. Check for loose components or obstructions in the fan.
• Lights not working: Check if the LED lights are switched on via the control panel. If individual LEDs are faulty, contact customer support for replacement.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact qualified service personnel.
