Elica 52cm Fold Canopy Hood Grey 600m3h | FOLDGRA52

Elica FOLDGRA52 52cm Fold Canopy Cooker Hood – Grey

The Elica FOLDGRA52 is a 52cm fold canopy cooker hood in grey. Its hinged canopy extends over the hob during cooking and retracts flush when not in use — a practical solution for kitchens where a fixed chimney stack would feel visually heavy. It delivers 600 m³/h booster extraction, 2×2.1W LED lighting at 221 LUX, soft-touch 3-speed controls, and holds a B energy class rating under current EU labelling.

Key Features

• 600 m³/h Booster Airflow – High-capacity extraction for a 52cm unit; handles steam, grease, smoke and odours from intensive cooking sessions
• 2 × 2.1W LED Lighting – 221 LUX / 3500K – Warm-white, energy-efficient LED illumination provides clear, shadow-free light directly over the hob
• 3-Speed Soft-Touch Push Button Controls – Soft-light illuminated buttons for selecting low, medium, or booster extraction speed
• Fold Canopy Design – Canopy folds out during use and retracts to a flush profile when cooking is finished; cleaner appearance than a fixed visor or chimney
• 46–65 dB(A) Noise Range – 46 dB(A) at low speed (near-silent); 65 dB(A) at booster for maximum extraction
• 180W Motor Absorption – Efficient power draw relative to extraction output
• B Energy Class – Above-average efficiency on the EU A–G cooker hood energy label scale
• Grey Finish – Understated, versatile colour; works with white, anthracite, wood-effect, and dark kitchen palettes

Who Is the Elica FOLDGRA52 Best Suited For?

This hood suits kitchens where design matters as much as function. The fold canopy sits noticeably lower and more discreetly than a chimney hood when retracted — making it a strong choice for open-plan living spaces, lower ceilings, or where planning or aesthetic constraints rule out a full chimney stack. At 600 m³/h booster, the extraction output is well above the minimum for most domestic kitchen volumes, and the B energy rating means running costs are kept in check. Elica is a respected Italian ventilation brand with strong build quality at this price tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fold canopy cooker hood and how does it differ from a chimney or visor hood?
A fold canopy hood has a hinged front panel that folds outward when in use to create the extraction zone, then folds back flat when cooking is done. A chimney hood has a fixed, permanently visible stack that extends to the ceiling. A visor hood has a fixed angled glass or steel panel that is always extended. The fold canopy is the most discreet of the three when not in use.

Does the Elica FOLDGRA52 duct out or can it recirculate?
Many Elica fold canopy hoods support both ducted (duct out) and recirculation modes. For recirculation, a compatible carbon filter kit is required and is typically purchased separately. Confirm your preferred installation mode before purchase and check that the appropriate accessories are available for this model.

What hob size is the FOLDGRA52 designed for?
The hood is 52cm wide and is designed to be used above hobs up to 50cm wide. It is not suitable as the primary extractor above a 60cm, 70cm, or 90cm hob.

Is 600 m³/h extraction enough for my kitchen?
The general rule is extraction capacity should equal at least 10 times your kitchen volume per hour. A typical 20 m³ kitchen requires 200 m³/h minimum; 600 m³/h on booster comfortably covers most domestic kitchen sizes up to approximately 60 m³.

What colour temperature is 3500K LED lighting?
3500K sits between warm white (2700K) and neutral white (4000K) — it gives a natural, slightly warm tone that is flattering for food presentation without the harsh blue-white of cooler LEDs. It is a commonly preferred temperature for kitchen task lighting.

What does B energy class mean for a cooker hood?
On the EU energy label scale for cooker hoods (rated A+ to G), a B class indicates above-average energy efficiency. It means the FOLDGRA52 delivers strong extraction performance relative to its electricity consumption.

Is professional installation required?
For ducted installation, the hood needs to be connected to external ducting through a wall or ceiling. A qualified installer or electrician is recommended, particularly if a new duct run is required. Electrical connection to a fused spur is standard.
