2019-12-26: applied Ronseal mould killer on external north east living room walls, had widespread light brown mould spots, and more localized black mould spots. The water insulation here is bad, possibly due to being on the last floor. Also applied next to window sills on those walls.

This is the exact model: shop.elica.com/en/accessori/filtro-grassi-in-alluminio-cod-gf03fc.html | web.archive.org/web/20190707053526/https://shop.elica.com/en/accessori/filtro-grassi-in-alluminio-cod-gf03fc.html

Searching by th epart name "GF03FC" leads to other sellers besides Elica however, which could reduce shipping costs: www.cookerhoodsupplies.co.uk/filters-and-lamps/188-metal-grease-filter-gf03fc.html

Brand on extractor glass: Elica: elica.com

Dimensions: 45.9cm x 17.6cm on the exterior. Too long to fit into any container that we have.

Brand on filter itself: "ARMA Filtre a.s." based on markings: www.armafiltre.com.tr/uygulamalar/7/3/en/Home-Appliances.html Cannot find any model on website however... looks like Elica's B2B supplier only.

Marker inside after removing filter: 12NC: 208298104403 Model: CIAK GR/A/56.

2018: noticed that it was unbearably greasy, tried to clean, but even boiling water didn't help.

Aluminium extractor filter for 208298104403
Hi there,
I'm trying to buy a spare aluminium extractor filter for an Elica extractor, but I can't find the right size on the website.
My 12NC is : 208298104403
My filter looks a lot like this: shop.elica.com/en/accessori/filtro-grassi-in-alluminio-cod-GRI0077330A.html but the dimensions are different: I measured 45.9cm x 17.6cm on my old one.
Do you have that for sale?

Brand according to documents: SMEG.

Most similar models I an find: www.smeguk.com/products/UKC8173N1F and www.smeguk.com/products/UKC81721F, the keyword are "built-in" and "integrated", other very similar ones: www.smeguk.com/refrigerators/built-in

Looks like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c_LBVnU4ec and that's how to unclog the drain.

SMEG, cannot determine exact model.

2020-11: started sparking by itself once every 5 minutes. Knob controls dirty in hole, but can't find out how to access. Seems slightly glued insulated around edges.

 Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.

Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!

Intro to OurBigBook

We have two killer features:

topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
