Four-Zone Induction Cooking with Integrated Extraction
The Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80-BA NikolaTesla Alpha B 78cm vented induction hob combines induction cooking and extraction within one minimalist appliance. Designed by Fabrizio Crisà, its black glass-ceramic surface fits seamlessly into a wide range of kitchen styles.
Four induction cooking zones provide nine power levels plus a booster setting. Intuitive slider touch controls allow precise heat adjustment, while steady power management supports consistent cooking results at the medium power levels used most often.
Why choose the Elica NT-ALPHA-B-80-BA vented induction hob?
Choose the NT-ALPHA-B-80-BA if you want a clean, open-plan kitchen layout: its 78cm induction hob and extractor are built into one black glass surface, so steam and odours are captured at hob level. Four zones, 9 power levels plus booster, Warming Mode and Stop & Go cover everyday cooking, while Autocapture adjusts extraction automatically. It suits duct-out or recirculation installs and is a strong fit for shoppers who want Elica’s core NikolaTesla performance and do not need higher-tier bridge-zone or connected extras.
Automatic Extraction with Autocapture Technology
Autocapture technology detects which cooking zones are active and automatically adjusts the extraction power to suit your cooking. In duct-out boost mode, the integrated extractor delivers airflow of up to 570m³/h and has an A energy rating.
During standard duct-out operation, the listed noise level ranges from 43 to 61dB(A). Even at full power, the 61dB(A) noise level helps maintain a more comfortable environment for cooking and conversation.
Warming Mode for Gentle, Controlled Heating
Warming Mode is designed for slower cooking and gentle heating. It is ideal for warming milk or broths, preparing custards and sauces without overheating, and keeping ready-made food at a consistent serving temperature without sticking.
