Learn all about Elica’s NikolaTesla Extractor Hobs – A hood and hob in one.

The stunning NikolaTesla is Elica’s first induction cooktop with a fully integrated air system. Otherwise known as an extraction hob, or air venting induction hob. The central fan (your new cooker hood) is perfectly integrated into the cooktop itself. This integration has many fantastic benefits. The biggest of these is high performance. For instance, great capturing of fumes, lower noise levels, and increased energy efficiency.

How Does an Extractor Hob Work?

An Elica NikolaTesla extraction hob works by using a powerful, but silent, aspirating system. This system sucks in steam, smoke and odours as they arise. Direct communication with the hob means it receives information from the cooking zones in real time. It then automatically calibrates the ideal aspiration level. So, you don’t have to worry about anything other than what you’re cooking. This also helps to reduce energy consumption!

Slider touch controls also allow you to adjust both the hob and the aspirating zone. This hob really is a work of art!

Available in both aspirating and filtering versions, the hob was thought up for any type of space. And, thanks to a series of accessories, it can meet any installation need.

Easy to Clean

Last Lasting Ceramic Filters

Cleaning your extractor hob is easy! The hob surface is nice and flat so cleaning is fast and easy. As for the extraction part, Elica has made this simple too.

The filtering version of the NikalaTesla come with high performance ceramic filters. These filters guarantee up to 80% filtering efficiency, compared to a market average of 60%.

The grease filter can be removed, and washed in the dishwasher! This makes the whole process super easy.

If liquid accidentally spills into the aspiration vent, don’t worry. An internal valve drains it out!

Furthermore, they’re easily removable, and can last for up to 5 years. This means less waste!

To restore your ceramic filter, heat it in the oven at 200°C for 45 minutes, every 2-3 months.
