Falmec KACL.1050 – Carbon.Zeo® Microtech Regenerable Filter for Ceiling Hoods Over 100 cm
A high-efficiency, regenerable charcoal-zeolite filter specifically engineered for Falmec ceiling hoods wider than 100 cm (such as Nuvola 140, Stella Plus 120, and similar models). Designed for “plug-and-play” installation, the KACL.1050 captures grease, smoke, and odors for ductless, recirculating operation. When saturated, simply bake in a home oven to fully restore adsorption capacity.
Carbon.Zeo® Microtech Regenerable Filter for Ceiling Hoods Over 100 cm
• SKU / EAN: KACL.1050
• Revision Date: 01/06/2025 (per Falmec global accessories listing)
The Falmec KACL.1050 is a regenerable Carbon.Zeo® Microtech filter designed for use in any Falmec ceiling-mounted hood with a width greater than 100 cm (e.g., Nuvola 140 LED, Stella Plus 120, Cloud 140, Star Plus 120, etc.). By combining activated charcoal and natural zeolite microspheres embedded in a durable polyurethane mesh, KACL.1050 efficiently adsorbs cooking vapors, grease, and odors—enabling true ductless (recirculation) operation without sacrificing performance.
When the hood’s control panel (or remote) displays the “CA” (Charcoal Alert) symbol, it signals that the filter’s adsorption capacity is depleted. Simply remove KACL.1050 from its housing and bake in a standard oven at 110 °C for 60 minutes to regenerate the filter media. This “plug-and-play” cartridge will then return to peak absorption efficiency.

1 × Installation & Regeneration Guide (illustrated instructions for “plug-and-play” fitting and oven regeneration procedure)
Regenerable Carbon.Zeo® Microtech Media
Activated Charcoal + Natural Zeolite: Dual-action adsorption of grease, smoke, and odors. Zeolite accelerates moisture removal, preserving the charcoal’s effectiveness.
Oven Regeneration: Achieve near-factory performance by baking at 110 °C for 60 minutes; avoid frequent disposable filter replacements (typical cycle life: 6–8 regenerations).
Optimized for Large Ceiling Hoods (> 100 cm)
Precisely sized (283 × 128 × 15 mm) to integrate seamlessly into the filter housings of Nuvola 140 LED (8034122363172 / 8034122363189), Stella Plus 120 (8034122900359), and other > 100 cm Falmec ceiling models.
Ensures uniform airflow across the entire 140 cm or 120 cm hood width during recirculation operation.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Drop-In Cartridge Design: No tools required—simply slide KACL.1050 into the hood’s filter compartment until it clicks into place.
No Additional Housing: Designed to replace previous filter modules (e.g., KACL.968) without modifying existing filter frames.
Superior Odor & Grease Removal
High Adsorption Capacity: Ideal for open-plan layouts where ducting is impractical—captures up to 95 % of cooking odors and fine grease particles.
Low Airflow Resistance: The open-cell polyurethane mesh allows passage of up to 700 m³/h without creating back-pressure, ensuring the hood’s motor can run efficiently.
Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly
Regenerative Lifespan: Each KACL.1050 cartridge lasts for 6–8 bake-to-clean cycles, dramatically reducing ongoing replacement costs and plastic/charcoal waste.
Sustainable Materials: Uses natural zeolite (a volcanic mineral) alongside activated charcoal for extended life and minimal environmental impact.
Easy Maintenance & Long Service Life
Oven-Safe Construction: Simply preheat your home oven to 110 °C, insert the filter upright on a rack, bake for 60 minutes, then let cool fully before reinserting. Avoid water or harsh chemicals.
Durable PU Mesh Housing: Resilient to repeated thermal cycles; the rigid frame prevents sagging or collapse during use and regeneration.
Italian Engineering & Quality
Made in Italy by Falmec: Adheres to stringent quality controls, ensuring consistent pore distribution in the media and a uniform polyurethane support grid.
Which hoods are compatible with KACL.1050?
• NUVOLA 140 LED (8034122363172 – White, 8034122363189 – Inox)
• Stella Plus 120 (e.g., 8034122900359)
• Cloud 140 (reference model tag)
• Star Plus 120 (reference model tag)
• Any Falmec ceiling hood wider than 100 cm that lists “Carbon.Zeo® filter” as a recirculation accessory.
How do I install KACL.1050?
Power Off the ceiling hood.
Open the filter compartment (refer to your hood’s installation manual for access instructions).
Slide each KACL.1050 cartridge into the designated slots (cartridges are keyed—note the airflow arrow on the frame).
Close the compartment until it clicks. Your hood is now ready for filtering (recirculation) mode.
How do I know when to regenerate KACL.1050?
• The hood’s display (or remote) will show “CA” when the filter’s adsorption capacity is depleted—typically after 6–12 months of normal cooking.
• Some ceiling hoods alternate between “CL” (grease-filter cleaning) and “CA” (Charcoal Alert) to guide maintenance.
How do I regenerate the filter?
Remove KACL.1050 from the hood’s filter housing when “CA” is displayed.
Preheat a domestic oven to 110 °C.
Place the upright cartridge(s) on a wire rack, ensuring the charcoal/zeolite media is exposed.
Bake for 60 minutes—do not exceed 120 °C.
Turn off the oven, allow the filter(s) to cool completely before handling.
Reinsert into the hood’s housing. The “CA” warning will reset; your filter is restored to near-factory performance.
How often should I regenerate or replace the filter?
• Regenerate when prompted (≈ every 6–12 months, depending on cooking volume).
• Replace after 6–8 regenerations (~ 3 years under average home use). At end-of-life, replace with a fresh KACL.1050.
Can KACL.1050 be used in ducted (extracting) mode?
• No. KACL.1050 is designed exclusively for recirculation (filtering) mode. For ducted installations, remove the filter cartridge and operate without any Carbon.Zeo® media.
What are the power requirements?
• Filter Cartridges: Passive components—no direct power draw.
• Ceiling Hood: Ensure your hood is connected to 220–240 V ~ 50–60 Hz per its electrical specifications; KACL.1050 does not affect voltage.
What is the warranty on KACL.1050?
• Covered under Falmec’s 2 Year Limited Warranty when installed and maintained per guidelines. Warranty does not cover misuse (e.g., washing in water, baking above 120 °C).
High-End Entertaining Kitchens:
Incorporate Nuvola 140 LED (8034122363172/3189) and install KACL.1050 for powerful odor capture during large dinners. With perimeter suction and regenerable filtration, your kitchen stays fresh without visible ducts—ideal for open-plan living spaces.
Luxury Condo Renovations:
In urban apartments where cutting exterior vents is prohibited, pair Stella Plus 120 or Cloud 140 with KACL.1050 to achieve “invisible” recirculating hoods. The regenerable design aligns with eco-friendly certification goals—less waste, lower lifetime cost.
Professional Chef’s Home Kitchen:
For frequent, steam-intensive cooking (e.g., wok stir-fries, sous-vide), KACL.1050’s zeolite-enriched media maintains strong adsorption even under heavy loads. Bake every 6 months to keep performance peak—no mid-service interruptions.
Minimalist Scandinavian Interiors:
KACL.1050 allows Nuvola 140 or Stella Plus 120 to operate ductlessly, preserving uninterrupted ceiling planes. Pair with light wood cabinetry and matte black accents; the hood’s perimeter suction and white or inox finish disappear into the design when idle.
Green Building & Sustainability:
Using KACL.1050 contributes to LEED and other green-building standards by reducing single-use filter waste. Its regenerable design is a low-waste solution compared to disposable charcoal cartridges. Replace only media every few years.
