Do you ever have trouble listening to your favourite music in the kitchen when the cooker hood is working?

Well, that�s not something you will have to worry about any longer: bringing a new level of silence to decorative hoods,

Elica�s patented innovative noise reduction system Elica Deep Silence (EDS3) now means that at low speeds you�ll barely hear the hood at all!

 

The difference made by the sound-absorbing performance of the new EDS3 system in comparison

with the previous generation is like comparing a busy office environment with a library.

For the technically minded, at an airflow of 500 m3/h, for example, the maximum noise level is 45 db/A � a reduction of more than 35% compared to conventional hoods.

This remarkable reduction in domestic noise pollution creates new possibilities for both the hood and the kitchen.
