The dimensions of the hood are such that it can easily fit even in the smallest kitchen. The company recommends the use of hoods in kitchens up to 16 square meters. m. For spacious kitchens in private homes or kitchen-living rooms, if necessary, it is possible to use several hoods.
If we talk about design, then Elikor Titan is quite consistent with fashion trends in interior design: minimalism, hi-tech, loft. The unit looks stylish and, no doubt, decorates the interior.
The main advantages of Elikor Titan
The design implements a progressive system of perimeter air suction. This means that the flow rate increases, its temperature decreases, which contributes to the concentration of fat droplets, and they actively settle on the inlet filter. Thus, much less dirt reaches the engine, which facilitates its operation and increases its service life.
The grease filter made of anodized aluminum is not located horizontally, but at an angle, and is covered with a mirror panel. Air enters it through narrow slots around the perimeter of the device. Moreover, the motor runs at low speed, which significantly reduces the noise level.
High build quality, an Italian-made motor, a German powder coating line, and a five-year branded warranty on the hood make the device very attractive. It is possible to carry out warranty repairs and post-warranty service in the Elikor branded service network. The kitchen will give you pleasure for a long time with its appearance and fresh atmosphere in your home.

Power and performance
The manufacturing company claims that the performance of the hood is optimal for a room of 16 square meters. m. Three speeds allow you to quite fine-tune the operating mode of the device, but it is worth remembering that at maximum speed the motor wears out faster, makes more noise and consumes more energy, and at the minimum, the air exchange rate in the room decreases.

Modes of operation
The hood operates in two modes:
- Extraction mode with the removal of polluted air outside the premises;
- Recirculation mode, with the return of purified air back to the kitchen.
The mode with the removal of polluted air is preferable, but it requires the ability to connect to exhaust ventilation or an additional channel for ejecting air into the surrounding atmosphere. Tapping into the exhaust ventilation duct in parallel with a water heater or heating boiler is prohibited, as well as connection to the inlet ventilation duct. If these possibilities are excluded, then it is necessary to use a scheme with recirculation.
Required accessories
To operate the device in the exhaust mode with the removal of air from the room, you must additionally purchase a corrugated semi-rigid air duct with a diameter of 150 mm, a Flat 42P-430-KZD mortise block and a ventilation grill in the kitchen design style.
In the recirculation mode, it is mandatory to use an F-00 carbon filter. It is made of highly absorbent activated carbon and captures all the odors that fill the air during cooking.
The absorbing properties of the filter are maintained for 160 hours, which corresponds to three to four months of regularly turning on the hood. But if smells in the kitchen appear before this time, then the filter needs to be replaced immediately.
