Why choose the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA 60cm vented induction hob?
Choose the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA if you want induction cooking and built-in extraction in one 60cm black glass hob. It gives you four cooking zones, slider touch controls, boost settings and an A-rated extractor, making it a neat fit for kitchens where a separate hood is not ideal. Back aspiration, Comfort Silence, a timer and child lock add useful everyday practicality, with ducted or recirculating installation options for flexible planning.
Responsive Four-Zone Induction Cooking
This 60cm induction hob with extractor features four cooking zones, intuitive slider touch controls, nine power levels and booster settings for fast, precise heat control. Water can be brought to the boil in just a few minutes, while steady power management supports consistent results at the medium cooking levels used most frequently.
Automatic pan detection identifies the cooking zones in use, while the integrated timer and safety controls help make everyday cooking easier and more controlled.
Warming Mode for Gentle Heat
Warming Mode provides a stable temperature for slower cooking and gentle heating. It is ideal for warming milk or broths, preparing custards and sauces without overheating, or keeping prepared food warm while reducing the risk of sticking.
Integrated Back-Aspiration Extraction
The integrated back-aspiration extractor draws steam and cooking odours directly from the hob. Airflow reaches up to 515m³/h, increasing to 610m³/h in booster mode when additional extraction power is required.
The NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA version includes a back-aspiration recirculating kit with regenerating ceramic filters, making it suitable for kitchens where external ducting is not available.
Automatic and Quiet Ventilation
Autocapture automatically detects which cooking zones are operating and adjusts the extraction power to match the level of cooking activity. This helps maintain effective ventilation without requiring constant manual adjustment.
Comfort Silence supports quieter cooking in open-plan kitchens and shared living spaces. The extractor has an A energy rating, with filtering noise levels listed from 50 to 67dB(A) and a quoted operating level of 61dB(A) at full power.
Flexible Installation and Easy-Clean Design
Measuring 60 × 51.5 × 25cm, the Elica Alpha B extractor hob can be installed in 60, 75, 80 and 90cm base units. Its smooth glass-ceramic surface creates a clean, streamlined appearance and can be wiped down easily after cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions About the NT-ALPHA-B-60BA
Can the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA be used in recirculation mode?
Yes. The Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA includes a back-aspiration recirculating kit with regenerating ceramic filters. This makes it suitable for kitchens where extracting air through an external wall is not practical.
Can this Elica venting hob also be ducted outside?
Yes. The hob supports both recirculating and duct-out installation. Additional ducting components may be required for an external extraction setup, depending on the kitchen layout.
How powerful is the integrated extractor?
In duct-out mode, airflow ranges from 200m³/h to 490m³/h, with a booster rate of up to 610m³/h. In recirculating mode, it provides up to 410m³/h during normal operation and 515m³/h on boost.
What does the Autocapture function do?
Autocapture detects which cooking zones are operating and adjusts the extraction power to match the level of cooking activity. This helps control steam and odours without requiring constant manual adjustment.
How noisy is the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA?
Noise levels range from 42 to 61dB(A) in duct-out mode and from 50 to 67dB(A) in recirculating mode. Comfort Silence technology is designed to keep extraction noise controlled, making this model suitable for open-plan kitchens.
How many cooking zones does this venting induction hob have?
This model has four induction cooking zones. The two front zones measure 16cm and provide up to 1.6kW each, while the two rear 21cm zones provide up to 2kW each when boosted.
Does the Elica Alpha B 60cm hob have bridge or flexible zones?

What cooking controls are included?
The hob uses slider touch controls with nine cooking power levels and a booster setting. It also includes automatic pan detection, a cooking timer, residual heat indicators, a control lock and overheating protection.
What is Warming Mode used for?

What cabinet sizes can the hob be installed in?
The 60cm NikolaTesla Alpha B can be installed in 60, 75, 80 or 90cm base units, subject to the required internal space, ventilation and extraction route. The installation layout should be checked before the worktop is cut.
Does the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA need professional electrical installation?
Yes. This model has a total connected load of 7.4kW and is supplied without a standard plug, so it must be hard-wired by a qualified electrician. Power-limitation settings of 3.1kW or 4.5kW are available where the electrical supply requires them.
Is the black glass surface easy to clean?
Yes. The smooth black ceramic-glass surface can be wiped clean once it has cooled. The extractor also includes a maintenance alarm to indicate when filter care is required.
Are there any suitable alternatives to the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60-BA Alpha B 60cm Vented Induction Hob in Black Glass I could consider?
Yes, the Elica NT-FIT-60 Fit 60cm Vented Induction Hob in Black Glass is the closest practical alternative, retaining the same-brand 60cm black-glass format, four induction zones and integrated extraction while adding a bridge zone for larger cookware.
Alternatively, consider the Elica NT-FIT-A3Z-60 Fit 3Z 60cm Vented Induction Hob as a more specialised premium option, with three cooking zones, an extra-large zone for pans up to 30cm and quieter extraction rated at 61dB(A).
