ELICA HAIKU IS Island Range Hood 48" wide - 600CFM in Stainless Steel - EHI648SS

Shapes, materials and solutions. At Elica, our strong belief in research means that even the choice of materials becomes an essential element in the innovation process. With 3D Aluminum grids with cast iron e ffect, the grids are kept attached to the casting by means of magnets mounted on the hood. Therefore, the locking system prevents any accidental fall. Available in different sizes and di fferent materials: full stainless steel, extra clear tempered glass with black screen printed and White Intense Krion.

What our Experts Think

• Reliable 600 CFM island ventilation power – Designed for open kitchens with island cooktops, it effectively captures smoke, grease, and heat from multi-burner cooking.

• Maintenance alarm feature – Built-in indicator reminds users when filters need cleaning for consistent performance over time.

Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean grease filters regularly: Wash the stainless steel long-life filters every 2–3 weeks (more often for heavy cooking) to maintain strong 600 CFM performance and airflow efficiency.
• Use long-life filter care cycle: If equipped, regenerate the odor filter by washing and drying periodically to maintain odor capture performance and extend lifespan.
• Wipe stainless steel body: Clean weekly with a microfiber cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to prevent fingerprints and grease buildup on the island-exposed surfaces.
• Clean LED lighting area: Keep the light strip free of grease to maintain bright, even illumination over the cooktop.
• Inspect airflow path: Ensure ducting remains clear and properly sealed for stable suction and reduced noise.
• Check maintenance alarm (if enabled): Reset or respond promptly when filter cleaning indicators activate.
• Clean underside and canopy edges: Island hoods collect grease from all directions—wipe after heavy cooking sessions.
• Power off before maintenance: Always switch off electricity before cleaning or filter removal.
