Elica Induction Hobs with Extractor

Shop Elica induction hobs with built-in extraction, combining induction cooking and kitchen ventilation in one appliance. The Elica NikolaTesla range includes vented induction hobs from 60cm to 90cm, with different cooking-zone layouts, extraction controls and finishes to suit a variety of kitchen designs.

Compare Elica extractor hobs by width, cooking functions, extraction performance and installation configuration. Choose from models designed for ducted or recirculating extraction, including compact options for smaller kitchens and wider appliances with flexible cooking zones.

Choosing an Elica Induction Hob with Extractor

Elica NikolaTesla extractor hobs combine induction cooking zones with an integrated ventilation system that draws cooking vapours through the hob surface. They provide an alternative to installing a separate overhead cooker hood, particularly in kitchens where space, cabinet layout or appearance influences the extraction choice.

The main factors to compare are hob width, cooking-zone flexibility, extraction configuration, operating noise and the space required beneath the worktop.

Choosing the Right Hob Width

Elica offers compact and wider induction extractor hobs for different kitchen layouts.

60cm models: Worth considering for smaller kitchens and installations with limited worktop space. Selected NikolaTesla Fit models accommodate suitable 60cm base units.
70cm and 72cm models: Offer alternative cooking layouts without necessarily requiring substantially wider cabinetry. Check exact installation dimensions.
80cm and 83cm models: Provide wider cooking surfaces, with selected models offering bridge zones for larger cookware.
90cm models: Suit larger cooking areas and customers looking for a wider induction hob with integrated extraction.

The advertised hob width does not always match the required worktop cut-out or minimum cabinet dimensions. Check the manufacturer's installation drawing for the exact appliance before ordering.

Cooking Zones and Controls

Elica NikolaTesla hobs differ in the number, dimensions and arrangement of their induction cooking zones. Selected models offer bridge functions that combine compatible cooking zones for larger pans, while others provide dedicated settings for melting, simmering or maintaining food temperature.

Controls also vary between models, with touch sliders and alternative control arrangements available across the range.

Ducted and Recirculating Elica Extractor Hobs

Elica extractor hobs can be installed with external ducting or compatible recirculating systems, depending on the individual model and configuration.

Ducted Extraction

A ducted extractor hob directs cooking air outside through suitable ventilation ducting. This removes extracted cooking odours and moisture from the kitchen. Installation requires an external outlet and enough space for the necessary ducting route.

Recirculating Extraction

A recirculating extractor hob uses grease and odour filters before returning air to the kitchen. This can be useful where external ducting is impractical, although suitable air-return arrangements and room ventilation remain necessary.

Check whether your chosen Elica model is supplied in the required configuration and whether additional filters, ducting components or installation kits are needed.

Extraction Performance and Noise

Compare Elica extractor hobs using their published airflow figures in m³/h and operating noise levels in dB(A). These figures vary by model, fan speed and whether the appliance is configured for ducted or recirculating extraction.

Higher maximum airflow does not automatically mean better performance in every kitchen. Duct dimensions, bends, filter maintenance and the position of the cooking vapours can influence the installed system's effectiveness.

Selected NikolaTesla models include automatic extraction functions that adjust the fan setting during cooking. Availability and operation vary between appliances.

Installing an Elica Vented Induction Hob

Because the extraction system is built into the hob, installation requires sufficient space beneath the worktop for the appliance, ventilation components and associated connections.

Before ordering, check:

The overall appliance and worktop cut-out dimensions.
The minimum cabinet width and under-worktop clearances.
The required ducted or recirculating installation components.
The electrical supply and maximum connected load.
Access for filter cleaning and maintenance.

Drawer storage may also be affected by the extraction housing and ducting. Our guide to installing an Elica extractor hob above drawers explains the main cabinetry and clearance considerations.

Cleaning and Maintaining Elica Extractor Hobs

Regular cleaning helps maintain cooking and extraction performance. The induction glass should be cleaned using suitable products, while removable grease filters require cleaning according to Elica's instructions.

Recirculating models also require odour-filter maintenance. Depending on the filtration system, compatible filters may need replacing or regenerating at specified intervals. Check the individual appliance's maintenance requirements.

Elica Induction Extractor Hob FAQs

What is an Elica NikolaTesla hob?

NikolaTesla is Elica's range of hobs with integrated extraction. Induction models combine induction cooking zones with a ventilation system built into the hob, removing the need for a separate extractor directly above the cooking surface.

Can an Elica extractor hob work without external ducting?

Yes, selected Elica extractor hobs support recirculating installation using compatible grease and odour filters. The required components and air-return arrangements depend on the specific model.

Can you install an Elica extractor hob in a 60cm cabinet?

Selected NikolaTesla Fit models are designed for suitable 60cm base units. However, the worktop cut-out, extraction components and under-hob clearances must all be checked against the manufacturer's installation requirements.

Do Elica extractor hobs need special cookware?

Elica induction extractor hobs require induction-compatible cookware with a suitable magnetic base. Pan dimensions should also be matched to the individual cooking zones and any available bridge functions.
