Platform about design and technology in the kitchen, home, and bathroom industry
The living kitchen is the centerpiece of our home. We enjoy spending time there and we share joy and warm memories. We spend time there to study, work and cook. And we try new recipes there with which we entertain our friends and host big family dinners.
Yet living and experiencing the kitchen can also cause us some inconveniences, due to the nature of this environment. Indeed, the kitchen is one of the most humid rooms in the house.Whether it is a small, medium or large space, kitchen condensation occurs easily: especially when cooking, the indoor air becomes saturated with moisture, creating those annoying drips.
The effect of condensation on kitchen extractor hoods is even more annoying, especially when there is an induction cooktop underneath (where, due to the lack of a flame, there is a greater temperature difference between the hot cooking vapors and the cold extractor hood). This makes the formation of condensation even worse. And this inevitably has negative effects on the cabinets, window and door frames, walls and trim: paint can fade or peel over time, wooden parts can warp, doors and windows can develop mold that is both unsanitary and dangerous. Opening windows, keeping the kitchen door closed and putting lids on cookware are all helpful in preventing condensation. But if you really want to make a difference, it's best to choose the right range hood.
Elica has developed several solutions to address the problem of condensation; extractor hoods with specific features aimed at preserving the pleasure of cooking and the longevity of our kitchen. The special "No Drip" system guarantees the best protection by capturing vapor droplets before they enter the environment. This can be done through specific tilted Elica patented grilles, which drains them into a special liquid collection container at the bottom.
The BOXIN NO DRIP hood is equipped with an anti-condensation system that combines the use of tilted grilles with a stainless steel visor. A resistance that heats up to 42° prevents drops from hot/cold temperature changes.
The design of the BOXIN DRY exhaust hood guarantees total cabinet protection by minimizing the surfaces of the unit where cooking fumes can come in contact. In addition to the use of tilted stainless steel grease filters, designed with a special shape to trap condensation droplets, the cabinet is further protected by side protections and by the specific 10-cm frontal visor that opens 180°.
Even the model RULES, particularly loved for its versatile installation and adjustable depth, designed to perfectly match the cabinets, is equipped with patented tilted grilles which, thanks to their special shape, catch condensation droplets and release them into a collection tray.
Last but not least guarantees MAJESTIC NO DRIP, which is distinguished by a double extraction zone located both in the middle and at the bottom of the product, top performance in terms of smoke extraction, silence and efficiency. The hood is equipped with a resistance system that heats the glassthus reducing the formation of condensation.
Elica, which has been on the market for more than 50 years, is a world leader in kitchen exhaust systems and manufactures range hoods and cooktops. It is also a leading European manufacturer of electric motors for household appliances and boilers. Elica is headed by Francesco Casoli and Giulio Cocci and operates from 7 production sites spread across Italy, Poland, Mexico [...]
