Q: How does the air flow inversion work?

The ELICA SHEENS hood does not have an inversion function to change the direction of ventilation. However, it offers two distinct operating modes : Extraction mode : vapors are expelled directly to the outside (requires a duct for evacuation) Filtering mode : the sucked air is degreased and deodorized before being returned to the kitchen (without external evacuation) The choice between these two modes is made during installation according to your configuration (possibility of external evacuation or not). Once installed, the hood operates in the intended mode. The hood also has 3 suction speeds (T1, T2, T3) and a Booster mode (5 minutes at maximum power) to adapt the ventilation to your needs.

Q: At what height should the electrical outlet be installed for an Elica Thin P 60 X hood?

The manual for the Elica Thin P 60 X hood specifies that the electrical outlet must remain accessible after the installation of the hood. There is no fixed height recommended by the manufacturer. In practice, the outlet should be: Accessible and not obscured by the hood once installed Out of direct reach of the exhaust duct (if external venting) or the charcoal filter (if recirculating) Compliant with local electrical standards of your country or region The standard height is generally between 1.5 m and 2 m above the floor, according to current NF standards. For a safe installation, consult local electrical regulations or a qualified electrician. Technical note: The hood operates at 220-240 V / 50 Hz with 3 speeds plus Boost mode.

Question 4

What is the sound signal (beep signal) of the ELICA WISE hood and when does it activate?

Accepted Answer

The sound signal (beep) of the ELICA WISE hood activates in two situations:

After cleaning or replacing the filters

Once the filter maintenance is complete, press and hold the OFF button until the sound signal. This confirms that the maintenance alarm reset has been recorded by the device. The flashing LED indicator will turn off automatically.

Managing the charcoal filter alarm (6-button models)

For models equipped with 6 buttons, you can activate or deactivate the charcoal alarm. Sound signals accompany each step:

Press and hold the OFF button for 3 seconds to access the settings
Simultaneously press buttons 1 and 2 for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate the alarm
The sound signal confirms that the setting has been acknowledged

These acoustic signals are simply confirmations that the device has recorded your maintenance actions or settings.

Question 5

What does the flashing anti-drip indicator on my ELICA BOXIN NO DRIP mean?

Accepted Answer

The flashing indicator is not "anti-drip" in the strict sense. It is the active charcoal filter saturation indicator that signals it is time to replace it.

What does this flashing mean?

According to the manual for your ELICA BOXIN NO DRIP:

Fixed LED = the metal grease filter needs maintenance (cleaning at least once a month)
Flashing LED = the active charcoal filter needs to be replaced (every 4 months maximum)

How to remedy?

Since your indicator is flashing, you need to replace the charcoal filter. It is the recycling filter, not washable or regenerable.

About the "No Drip" system

The real anti-drip system of your hood is different: it uses invisible resistors that heat the lower surfaces to prevent condensation. The resulting condensation tray must be emptied at least once a week via the purge tab.

After replacing the charcoal filter, reset the indicator by pressing and holding the button (hood off).

Question 6

What does the flashing of the buttons and the short beep of the ELICA WISE hood mean?

Accepted Answer

This signal indicates a reset or reinitialization of the hood's system. When all the buttons briefly light up and the device emits a short beep, it means that the hood is resetting its functions - this is a normal and expected behavior of the product.

This can occur particularly:

After disconnecting/reconnecting the power supply (for example, after turning off the device at the source)
During a manual reset after maintenance (cleaning or replacing the grease or charcoal filter)
During system initialization after a power outage

You can continue to use the hood normally after this signal. If the beep and the lighting of the buttons repeat abnormally or if the hood does not operate correctly after this signal, unplug the device for about 5 seconds, then plug it back in. If the problem persists, contact a qualified repair service.

Question 7

Does the ELICA BOXIN NO DRIP hood have Bluetooth or smart connectivity to be controlled from a phone?

Accepted Answer

No, the ELICA BOXIN NO DRIP hood does not have Bluetooth or smart connectivity. It is a traditional extractor hood equipped only with mechanical and direct electrical controls.

Control System

The hood is equipped with:

Stop/standby button
Extraction speed selector (low, medium, high, and intensive)
ON/OFF button for the LED lighting (short press for cooking light and long press for ambient light)
Anti-condensation function button
Filter saturation indicators

All controls are done directly on the hood via these integrated controls. There is no remote control via mobile app, nor connection to Wi-Fi or other connected devices.

Question 8

How to install the ELICA BOXIN NO DRIP hood above the cooking surface?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ELICA BOXIN NO DRIP hood is installed directly above your cooking surface. Here are the important details:

Minimum safety distances

Electric cooking surfaces: 50 cm minimum between the cooking surface and the bottom of the hood
Gas or mixed cooking surfaces: 62 cm minimum

No Drip System

This hood features a unique anti-condensation system that prevents condensation from forming on the lower surfaces, particularly effective with induction cooktops. The internal heating elements warm the surfaces to prevent moisture buildup.

Installation and power supply

The hood connects to a 220-240 V, 50 Hz electrical outlet. Smoke evacuation is done through a separate duct (not included) to be connected to the designated connection ring. Please refer to the complete installation instructions in the manual for wall mounting details.

Question 10

Does the black glass of the hood need to be lifted for it to work?

Accepted Answer

No, not during normal use

The black glass of the ELICA Shire hood does not need to be lifted during normal operation. The hood works properly with the panel closed.

When to lift it?

The black panel should be lifted only for cleaning and maintenance:

Frequency: clean it once a month along with the grease filter
Technique: pull the panel down firmly or simply lift it; it will detach from the rear hinges
Products to use: use a cloth dampened with a neutral liquid detergent
Avoid: do not use abrasive products, alcohol, or solvents

Access to filters

Lifting the black panel allows you to access the grease filter (to be cleaned monthly) and the charcoal filter (to be replaced every 4 months at most). These maintenance tasks require removing it.
