Elica CT35 PRO IX/A/90 PRF0183209 – Full Review of the Fully Integrated Built-in Cooker Hood 90 cm in Stainless Steel with Motor Included and Energy Class A

The Elica CT35 PRO IX/A/90 (code PRF0183209, EAN 8020283053779) is a fully integrated built-in cooker hood of 90 cm in stainless steel with motor included and energy class A, belonging to Elica's CT35 PRO range. Elica is the world leader in the design and manufacture of kitchen cooker hoods, based in Fabriano (AN): the CT35 PRO represents Elica's solution for total integration into the kitchen wall unit, designed for those who want maximum aesthetic continuity between the kitchen furniture and the extraction appliance. The suffix IX/A/90 identifies three key variables: finish IX (inox/stainless), version A (Aspirating with motor included), width 90 cm. The name "CT35" identifies the body height: 35 cm — a dimension designed to occupy the volume of a standard wall unit, allowing the product to disappear completely into the kitchen. The hood delivers an extraction capacity of 750 m³/h in boost mode with a maximum sound level of 73 dB(A) on boost and 69 dB(A) on the third ordinary speed. Made in Italy, Fabriano (AN).

Assessment

The Elica CT35 PRO IX/A/90 is the built-in cooker hood for those who want total integration into the kitchen without sacrificing serious extraction performance. The 35 cm height defines the project: compact enough to disappear into the standard wall unit module, generous enough to house a motor with 750 m³/h capacity and full-width LED strip lighting. The electronic push-button panel with 3 speeds + boost covers a wide performance spectrum: speed 1 at 255 m³/h and 50 dB(A) for quiet everyday light cooking; speed 3 at 650 m³/h and 69 dB(A) for more intensive cooking; boost at 750 m³/h for maximum extraction during peak steam events. The professional stainless steel grease filters — included as standard — are designed for superior resistance and durability compared to common aluminium filters: dishwasher safe, they maintain their geometry and filtration efficiency over time. The maintenance alarm signals filter saturation with a light indicator after 30 hours of continuous operation, eliminating the need for manual tracking of maintenance intervals. The delay switch-off keeps the hood running automatically for a programmable period after cooking, completing the extraction of residual vapours. The built-in non-return valve prevents reverse airflow from the extraction duct when the hood is switched off.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Elica CT35 PRO IX/A/90 (PRF0183209) with included motor and the GME version CT35 PRO GME IX/A/90 (PRF0183218) without motor?

The two versions of the CT35 PRO 90 cm differ in motorisation method. The IX/A/90 (PRF0183209) version is the Aspirating version with integrated motor included: the hood body contains its own 750 m³/h extraction motor, ready to use with direct connection to the Ø 150 mm duct — the simpler installation choice and ideal for kitchens where motor positioning in the wall unit does not create vibration transmission issues. The GME IX/A/90 (PRF0183218) version is the motorless version (Group Motor External): the hood body does not include a motor, which is instead installed remotely — in a loft, another room, or on the roof — with significant advantages in terms of perceived noise reduction in the kitchen. Compatible remote motors are the GME11 (PRF0006209A) with up to 1,000 m³/h capacity and the GME22 A (PRF0179706) with up to 1,200 m³/h, available separately.

Are the professional stainless steel grease filters of the Elica CT35 PRO dishwasher safe?

Yes, the professional stainless steel grease filters of the Elica CT35 PRO are dishwasher safe. The stainless steel construction ensures resistance to high-temperature wash cycles without deformation or degradation of the filter structure — a significant advantage over common aluminium mesh filters, which can deform or lose efficiency after repeated washing. The CT35 PRO's maintenance alarm signals the right time for cleaning by illuminating all control panel LEDs for approximately 30 seconds after 30 hours of continuous operation: to reset the indicator, press the timer button (T) during the signal. Elica recommends washing grease filters regularly to maintain maximum extraction efficiency and hood hygiene.

Is the Elica CT35 PRO IX/A/90 PRF0183209 also available in 60 cm and 120 cm with the same features?

Yes, the CT35 PRO range from Elica is available in three widths with similar characteristics. The 60 cm version is identified by code PRF0183203 with boost capacity of 650 m³/h and sound level 51–73 dB(A). The 90 cm (PRF0183209) version reaches 750 m³/h with 50–69 dB(A) — the quietest of the three at standard speeds. The 120 cm (PRF0183210) version reaches 780 m³/h with 52–69 dB(A). All versions share the same 35 cm height, 28 cm depth, stainless finish, 3-speed + boost push-button panel, 2×3W 4200K LED strips, professional stainless grease filters, maintenance alarm, delay switch-off, non-return valve and Ø 150 mm outlet. A motorless GME variant is also available for each width (PRF0183213 for 60 cm, PRF0183218 for 90 cm).

Conclusion

The Elica CT35 PRO IX/A/90 PRF0183209 is the choice for those seeking a fully integrated built-in cooker hood of 90 cm with genuine performance and total wall unit integration: motor included 750 m³/h, energy class A, 3 speeds + boost with electronic push-button panel, 2×3W 4200K LED strips, dishwasher-safe professional stainless grease filters included, maintenance alarm, delay switch-off, non-return valve, Ø 150 mm outlet, 35 cm height 28 cm depth, Made in Italy Fabriano.
