AN EXCEPTIONAL EXTRACTOR HOB TO FIT WHERE SPACE IS LIMITED
For all those who don ’ t want to compromise on excellence in either appliance performance or design - even in the most compact kitchens - all the advantages of an extractor hob are still available as NikolaTesla FIT from Elica brings style and performance to homes where space is limited .
Extractor hobs have become an increasingly popular solution when creating an elegant and efficient cooking environment . As a premium product , manufacturers have focused on larger sizes , but Elica has designed NikolaTesla FIT to meet the needs of those who only have a smaller space . It is the first induction hob with integrated extraction that can be installed in a standard base unit . The standard NikolaTesla FIT comes in two widths - 60cm and 72cm - but both fit into a standard 60cm base .
A bridge function allows two cooking zones to be joined together to create a single area which guarantees a uniform cooking temperature in even large rectangular and oval pans .
Also available is the 80cm NikolaTesla FIT XL with four cooking zones , though , if you need to cook with larger pans , you can also combine them into two bridge zones . Slide touch controls adjust the hobs ’ nine levels and booster and the hood ’ s four speeds
and booster level . As a safety precaution , a child lock function can be enabled to stop the zones being switched on accidentally .
Elica also offers the NikolaTesla FIT 3Z , the first three-zone extractor hob with an extra-large cooking area for that giant pan of pasta or huge paella .
In addition to small spaces , NikolaTesla FIT is also suitable for kitchens where it is not possible to install independent hobs and hoods . The design stage focused on finding a balance between performance , functionality , ergonomics , technology , small size and versatility , and how to contain all of these elements in a manner that gave life to an appliance with clean and essential lines . The simplicity is obtained through a glass flap that , when closed , conceals the extraction .
The elegant design fits flush with the work surface and the shape of the extraction inlet allows maximum flexibility for pan sizes when in use . A gentle push opens the flap , and the extractor starts .
NikolaTesla FIT creates a rapid air speed of up to 5m / s which ensures high smoke and
odour capture . In the recirculating version Elica ’ s high performance ceramic filters ensure up to 80 % of fumes are captured compared to an industry norm of 60 %. They can be regenerated in the oven for up to five years which is both a welcome economy and good for the environment .
The innovative Autocapture function lets you focus on cooking : NikolaTesla Fit will set the suction power according to what you are cooking , obtaining the best balance between silence , extraction effectiveness and efficiency . The completely flat glass surface makes cleaning extremely easy , and all filters are safely and immediately accessible – there is even an outlet to quickly drain anything from minor to major spillages .
