Elica Induction Hobs

Shop Elica induction hobs for responsive cooking without built-in extraction. The Elica Primis range includes 30cm, 60cm and 80cm built-in induction hobs, with two, three or four cooking zones to suit different kitchen layouts and cookware requirements.

Compare Elica induction hobs with slider touch controls, Booster settings, power management and warming functions. Selected models also offer bridge zones for larger cookware. Designed for use with a separate cooker hood or suitable kitchen ventilation, these hobs provide an alternative to Elica's NikolaTesla integrated extractor range.

Choosing the Right Elica Induction Hob

Elica Primis induction hobs offer different cooking-zone layouts and widths, allowing you to choose an appliance that suits your available worktop space and cooking habits.

30cm induction hobs: Compact two-zone cooking for smaller kitchens or additional cooking areas.
60cm induction hobs: Three- or four-zone arrangements for everyday cooking. Selected models include a larger cooking zone or a bridge function.
80cm induction hobs: Wider four-zone cooking surfaces with more room for cookware and a bridge function on compatible models.

Consider the size and number of pans you use most frequently. For example, a three-zone hob with one larger cooking area may be more useful for substantial saucepans than a conventional four-zone arrangement.

Elica Induction Hob Features

Bridge Zones and Flexible Cooking

Selected Elica Primis Plus induction hobs feature a bridge function, allowing two compatible cooking zones to operate together for larger or elongated cookware, such as griddle pans.

Other models offer individual cooking zones in different sizes, including larger zones for substantial saucepans and frying pans. Check the cooking-zone dimensions and bridge functionality before choosing an appliance.

Green Induction and Power Management

Elica Green Induction technology is designed to manage power delivery efficiently across cooking settings. The Primis range also includes configurable power-limitation options on selected models, allowing the maximum electrical demand to be adjusted within supported limits.

Power-limitation settings do not remove the need for a suitable electrical installation. Always confirm the connected load and supply requirements for the exact hob.

Slider Controls, Booster and Warming Functions

Elica Primis hobs use slider touch controls for adjusting cooking power. Booster functions provide additional power for suitable tasks, while warming settings help maintain gentle heat for food and sauces.

Other available functions include cooking timers, Stop&Go for temporarily pausing cooking settings and child locks to help prevent accidental operation. Features vary by model.

Installing an Elica Induction Hob

Elica induction hobs are designed for installation within a suitable kitchen worktop. Before purchasing, check the appliance dimensions, required worktop cut-out, cabinet clearances and electrical supply.

Important considerations include:

The exact worktop opening required for the selected hob.
Available clearance and ventilation beneath the appliance.
Surface-mounted or flush-mounted installation compatibility.
Electrical connection and power-limitation requirements.
Suitable induction-compatible cookware.

Installation requirements vary between models. Always refer to the manufacturer's technical drawing and have electrical work completed by a suitably qualified installer.

Standard Elica Induction Hob or NikolaTesla Extractor Hob?

A conventional Elica induction hob provides cooking without built-in extraction and is intended to be paired with suitable kitchen ventilation, commonly a separate cooker hood.

An Elica NikolaTesla combines induction cooking with an integrated extractor. This removes the need for a separate hood directly above the cooking surface but requires additional planning for extraction components beneath the worktop.
