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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a fold canopy cooker hood and how does it differ from a chimney or visor hood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Elica FOLDGRA52 duct out or can it recirculate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMany 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hob size is the FOLDGRA52 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 600 m³\/h extraction enough for my kitchen?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour temperature is 3500K LED lighting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n3500K 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does B energy class mean for a cooker hood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs professional installation required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e FOLDGRA52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8020283054233\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fold Canopy Cooker Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBooster Airflow:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 m³\/h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 2.1W LED – 221 LUX – 3500K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Speed Soft-Touch Push Button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46–65 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Absorption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy Class:\u003c\/strong\u003e B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57260317245766,"sku":"8020283054233","price":279.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/5528\/9428\/files\/FOLDGRA52.png?v=1788516663","url":"https:\/\/www.ganlys.ie\/products\/elica-52cm-fold-canopy-hood-grey-600m3h-foldgra52","provider":"Ganly's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
