Discover the Elica NikolaTesla Alpha B NT-ALPHA-B-80 78cm venting induction hob, combining four cooking zones with powerful integrated extraction.
Induction Cooking with Integrated Extraction
The Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 venting induction hob combines a four-zone induction hob and integrated extractor in a sleek 78cm black glass design. Created by designer Fabrizio Crisà, its minimalist appearance allows it to fit seamlessly into a wide range of contemporary kitchen styles.
The centrally positioned extractor removes steam and cooking odours directly at the source, eliminating the need for a separate overhead cooker hood. In duct-out boost mode, it delivers airflow of up to 570m³/h.
Why choose the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 vented induction hob?
Choose the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 if you want a wider 78cm induction hob with extraction built in. Its integrated venting system clears steam and odours at source, while four induction zones, slider touch controls, Warming Mode and AutoCapture make everyday cooking simple. It suits duct-out or recirculation installations, with a black glass finish that keeps the look clean and modern.
Precise Heat Control Across Four Cooking Zones
Each of the four induction cooking zones offers nine power levels and a booster setting, providing accurate control for everyday cooking. Steady power management supports consistent results at the frequently used middle power levels, while the booster helps bring water to the boil in just a few minutes.
Responsive slider touch controls make it easy to adjust the heat and extraction settings through the smooth glass-ceramic surface.
Automatic Extraction Control
The Elica NikolaTesla Alpha B automatically detects which cooking zones are in use and adjusts the extraction power accordingly. This helps maintain effective extraction while you concentrate on preparing your food.
Designed with open-plan kitchens in mind, its quiet duct-out operation ranges from 43 to 61dB(A). Even at full power, the noise level reaches only 61dB(A), helping you cook and hold a conversation comfortably.
Warming Mode for Gentle Cooking
Warming Mode maintains a gentle and consistent temperature for slower cooking preparations. It is ideal for warming milk or broths, preparing custards and sauces without overheating, and keeping ready-made food warm until it is time to serve.
Easy-Clean Black Glass Surface
The smooth glass-ceramic surface makes cleaning and maintenance straightforward. Its integrated design also creates a streamlined cooking area without a separate hood positioned above the hob.
The Elica Alpha B can be installed in 60cm, 75cm, 80cm and 90cm base units, offering flexibility for different kitchen layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions About the NT-ALPHA-B-80
Is the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 an induction hob and extractor in one?
Yes. The Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 combines four induction cooking zones with a centrally integrated extractor. It captures steam and cooking odours close to the cookware, removing the need for a separate overhead cooker hood.
How many cooking zones does the Elica NikolaTesla Alpha B have?
This model has four fixed induction zones. The two front zones measure 16cm and provide up to 1.6kW with the booster, while the two rear 21cm zones provide up to 2kW each.
Does the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 have flexible or bridge zones?
No. The Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 has four individual cooking zones rather than flexible or bridgeable areas. This makes it well suited to standard round induction pans used for everyday cooking.
How powerful is the integrated extractor?
In duct-out mode, the extractor provides airflow from 205m³/h to 455m³/h during normal operation. The boost setting increases the extraction rate to a maximum of 570m³/h when additional airflow is needed.
Does the extractor adjust itself automatically?
Yes. The Autocapture function detects which cooking zones are operating and automatically adjusts the extraction level. This helps remove vapour and odours effectively without requiring constant manual changes.
Can the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 be installed for recirculation?
The hob can be configured for either duct-out extraction or internal recirculation. The ducting, filters and installation kit required will depend on your chosen layout, so these components should be confirmed before installation.
How noisy is the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80?
Noise levels in duct-out operation range from approximately 43 to 61dB(A). A recirculating installation operates at approximately 52 to 67dB(A), depending on the selected extraction speed.
What does Warming Mode do?
Warming Mode maintains a gentle, steady temperature for slow cooking and keeping prepared dishes warm. It is also useful when heating milk or broth and preparing sauces or custards that need controlled heat.
What are the dimensions and worktop cut-out requirements?
The Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 measures 78cm wide, 51.5cm deep and 25cm high. It requires a worktop cut-out measuring 75cm by 49cm. Cabinet space must also be allowed for the extractor motor and ventilation system below the hob.
Can the hob be fitted above a 60cm kitchen unit?
The Elica NikolaTesla Alpha B is designed to accommodate a range of kitchen layouts and can be installed with 60cm, 75cm, 80cm or 90cm base units. The cabinet, worktop and ventilation route should be checked by your installer before fitting.
Does the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 need professional electrical installation?
Yes. This model has a total connected load of 7.4kW and must be hardwired by a suitably qualified electrician. Power limitation settings of 3.1kW or 4.5kW are available where the electrical supply requires a lower maximum load.
Is the black glass surface easy to clean?
Yes. The smooth glass-ceramic cooking surface can be wiped clean once it has cooled. The integrated design also creates a streamlined cooking area without a separate hood positioned above the hob.
Are there any suitable alternatives to the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80 Alpha B 78cm Vented Induction Hob I could consider?
Yes, you could consider the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-60 Alpha B 60cm Vented Induction Hob in Black Glass as a more compact, lower-cost option from the same range, retaining four induction zones, automatic extraction and duct-out or recirculation installation.
Alternatively, the Elica NT-ALPHA-ADV Alpha Advance 83cm Vented Induction Hob in Black Glass is a larger, higher-function alternative with a bridge zone for oversized cookware. Check the worktop cut-out and cabinet dimensions before changing hob width.
