Elica LEAF-BLK Leaf 80cm Wall Extractor Hood in Black

Frequently Asked Questions About the LEAF-BLK

Is the Elica LEAF-BLK suitable for ducted and recirculating installation?

Yes. The Elica LEAF-BLK is designed for either ducted extraction or recirculating use, so it can be fitted to suit different kitchen layouts. This gives you flexibility whether you want to vent air outside or filter and return it back into the room.

Does the Elica LEAF-BLK need a chimney kit?

No, not in every installation. This model can be ducted straight through the wall or used in recirculating mode without needing the optional stainless steel chimney kit. A chimney kit is only typically needed where the ducting needs to be covered in a different routing arrangement.

What size is the Elica LEAF-BLK?

The Elica LEAF-BLK is an 80cm wide wall-mounted cooker hood. This makes it a good fit for a matching 80cm hob, while also working well over many 60cm cooking zones where wider extraction coverage is preferred.

How powerful is the extraction on the Elica LEAF-BLK?

This model offers high extraction performance, with a booster airflow of up to 755m³/h. It is designed for kitchens where strong odour, steam and grease removal is important, especially if you do a lot of boiling, frying or grilling.

How many fan speeds does the Elica LEAF-BLK have?

The Elica LEAF-BLK has 3 fan speeds plus a boost setting. This gives you everyday flexibility for lighter cooking, with extra power available when you need to clear heavier steam or strong cooking smells more quickly.

What controls does the Elica LEAF-BLK use?

This model uses touch controls. That gives the hood a clean, modern finish and makes it easy to switch between speeds and lighting settings.

What lighting does the Elica LEAF-BLK have?

The Elica LEAF-BLK includes 2 x 14W neon lights. These lights help illuminate the hob area clearly, which is useful when cooking in lower ambient light.

How noisy is the Elica LEAF-BLK?

The quoted maximum noise level for the Elica LEAF-BLK is 70dBA. As with most cooker hoods, the sound level will vary depending on the fan speed you are using, with the highest setting being the loudest.

What duct size does the Elica LEAF-BLK use?

This model uses a 150mm duct connection. Using the recommended duct size helps the hood perform as intended and supports better airflow efficiency.

Does the Elica LEAF-BLK include filters for recirculating use?

This model uses long-life charcoal filtration for recirculating installation, and washable long-life charcoal filter compatibility is listed for the product. For best performance, filters should be maintained or replaced in line with the installation and care guidance for the hood.

Is the Elica LEAF-BLK still available?

No. The Elica LEAF-BLK is listed as a discontinued product. If you are looking for a similar angled wall-mounted extractor hood in black glass, we would recommend considering current Elica alternatives with matching width, installation type and extraction performance.
