Elica FOLD-BLK-80 - Black - Kitchen hood

Elica FOLD-BLK-80 - Black - Kitchen hood is a sleek built-in cooker hood designed in Poland for modern kitchens, offering powerful extraction and efficient LED lighting for everyday cooking. Its compact 714 x 283 x 251 mm footprint and 1.4 m cord make it easy to fit into standard cabinets while delivering up to 580 m³/h airflow.

This built-in hood supports both ducted and recirculating installation, with a maximum extraction power of 580 m³/h and a maximum recirculating power of 430 m³/h when using optional charcoal filters. The unit includes a 15 cm exhaust connection and one vent, plus a mounting kit and a quick installation guide to simplify fitting.

Performance is balanced with practical efficiency: fluid dynamic efficiency class C and grease filtering class C provide reliable removal of cooking fumes, while lighting efficiency is rated A thanks to two front LED lamps (2 x 2.1 W) that deliver 221 lx for clear visibility over the hob. Annual energy consumption is 75 kWh and the older energy class rating is B.

Controls are straightforward, with a soft light push-button panel and three speeds to choose from. Noise is modest on low and medium settings (46 dB and 54 dB respectively) and reaches 65 dB at the highest speed; in recirculation mode the measured noise level is 71 dB. The motor is included and rated at 176 W, with a connected load of 180 W.

Maintenance is user-friendly: the hood uses two removable, dishwasher-proof aluminium grease filters that are washable and easy to replace. A filter cleaning indicator is not included, and re-circulating setups require optional standard or regeneratable charcoal filters.

This model is ideally suited for homeowners who want a discreet, built-in extraction solution in black that blends with contemporary kitchens. It suits small to medium cooking areas and is compatible with electric and gas hobs provided you follow the minimum clearance recommendations (45 cm from electric hobs, 65 cm from gas hobs).

Suggested use cases include everyday family cooking, apartment kitchens where an integrated look is preferred, and renovation projects requiring a compact hood with solid extraction performance. Key selling points are the powerful 580 m³/h airflow, efficient LED front lighting, dishwasher-safe aluminium filters, and simple button controls.
