Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE BL MAT/F/120 PRF0171195 – Full Review of the 120 cm Suspended Island Hood with Integrated Air Purifier and Black Soft Touch Effect Finish

The Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE BL MAT/F/120 (code PRF0171195 — EAN 8020283050754) is a 2-in-1 suspended island hood with integrated air purifier, 120 cm wide, recycling version (F), black soft touch effect finish, pyramid design by Fabrizio Crisà. It is a product structurally different from a traditional cooker hood: it houses two independent motors with dedicated interfaces — the hood motor that extracts cooking fumes, steam and odours at an intensive airflow of 600 m³/h, and the purifier motor that filters ambient air from allergens, dust, pollen, mould and chemical indoor pollutants through the Combo Pure Filter system (HEPA + carbon, particles down to 1 micron). The two functions are completely independent and individually operated: the hood works during cooking, while the purifier can run continuously even when the hob is not in use — in Super Silent mode (inaudible noise level) for prolonged background use, or in Boost mode to completely regenerate the air of a 30 m² space in just 20 minutes. The pyramid design of Ikona Maxxi Pure is one of the most enduring and recognisable in the Elica catalogue. In the Maxxi 120 cm version in black soft touch effect finish — a low-reflectivity black surface with a velvety tactile feel — it becomes a furnishing element of strong contemporary visual presence. Energy class A. LED strip 7W 3,500K for worktop illumination. Recycling version: operates without an extraction duct; the chimney is available as an optional accessory (KIT0175017 black / KIT0175018 stainless). Made in Italy, Fabriano (AN).

Assessment

The Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE BL MAT/F/120 redefines the cooker hood category by incorporating air purification — a function that normally requires a separate device — directly into the hood body. The underlying concept is precise: a hood is active during cooking for a limited time; a purifier should work continuously, during hours when the kitchen is not in use, to maintain the air quality of the entire environment. The Combo Pure Filter with HEPA filtration down to 1 micron is the same standard used in medical air purifiers: it captures not only physical particulates (dust, pet hair, pollen) but also volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde and odours — a category of indoor pollutants particularly relevant in enclosed spaces with modern building and furnishing materials. Super Silent mode (inaudible noise level) makes the purifier compatible with continuous use even at night, while Boost mode enables rapid air regeneration in 20 minutes across 30 m² — equivalent to a medium-large kitchen plus living area. The 120 cm pyramid design in black soft touch finish is one of the strongest aesthetic statements available in the category: the low-reflectivity velvety black surface transforms the hood into a furnishing element of strong visual identity, compatible with dark kitchens, black/white kitchens and contemporary design environments. Class A, annual consumption 48 kWh. The extensive installation flexibility — recycling or extraction, island or wall, chimney left or right — makes it adaptable to any kitchen configuration.

FAQ

How do the two motors in the Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE BL MAT/F/120 — hood and purifier — operate, and can they work simultaneously?

The Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE BL MAT/F/120 integrates two completely independent motors, each with its own dedicated touch interface. The hood motor (Touch control 3V+I, 600 m³/h, 200 W) extracts cooking vapours and odours via the aluminium grease filter and included regenerable charcoal filter. The purifier motor (Touch control 2V, 175 W, Combo Pure Filter HEPA+carbon) filters ambient air from allergens and chemical pollutants. The two motors are independently operable but do not function simultaneously — they work alternately: when the hood is active the purifier is in stand-by, and vice versa. This enables optimised energy and filter usage: the hood works during cooking, the purifier works during non-cooking hours in continuous Super Silent mode or Boost mode for rapid air regeneration.

The BL MAT/F/120 version is recycling — can it be converted to extraction, and what does standard installation include?

Yes — the BL MAT/F/120 version is recycling: it operates without an extraction duct, with the included regenerable charcoal filter for odour elimination. It can be converted to extraction mode by purchasing separately the black chimney kit KIT0175017 or the stainless chimney kit KIT0175018 — the chimney can be positioned on the left or right side above the hood motor. Standard installation is as a suspended island from the ceiling; for wall-mounted installation, kits KIT0175808 (black) or KIT0175807 (chrome) are available. The optional HEPA-carbon filter kit KIT0176157 replaces the standard regenerable charcoal filter for enhanced hood filtration.

How often do the filters in the Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE need replacing, and how does Smart Alert work?

The Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE is equipped with the Smart Alert system that monitors filter efficiency and automatically notifies when maintenance is needed — eliminating the need to manually track replacement cycles. The aluminium grease filters for the hood motor are dishwasher safe. The included regenerable charcoal filter (CFC0162221) is regenerated in the oven. The purifier's Combo Pure Filter (HEPA + carbon) is not washable and must be replaced periodically based on purifier usage intensity and ambient air quality — the replacement kit is KIT0176157. Indicative replacement frequency for the purifier filter depends on usage: in continuous low-speed use (Super Silent mode) replacement is generally annual; with intensive use (frequent Boost mode) it may be more frequent.

Conclusion

The Elica IKONA MAXXI PURE BL MAT/F/120 PRF0171195 is the choice for those seeking a 120 cm island hood that is also a HEPA home air purifier, with Fabrizio Crisà's pyramid design in black soft touch as a strong visual identity furnishing element: 600 m³/h class A hood, Touch control 3V+I hood and 2V purifier, Combo Pure Filter HEPA+carbon down to 1 micron with Smart Alert, Super Silent and Boost modes, 30 m² coverage, LED strip 7W 3,500K, recycling version with optional left/right chimney, 120×44 cm, 48 kWh/year, Made in Italy Fabriano.
