BREAKING NEW GROUND IN EXTRACTOR HOB TECHNOLOGY
Extractor hobs , like those in the Elica NikolaTesla range , are perfect for enthusiastic cooks who enjoy elegant , spacious , open kitchen environments , especially as the extraction integrated within the hob only serves to complement the sleek appearance of the kitchen itself .
NikolaTesla Unplugged is controlled through fixed click-release knobs with analogue touch & feel , providing quick and intuitive access to its features . All elements are incorporated into a boldlined appearance , developed to intelligently separate the cooking zone from the control area . An elegant shock-resistant bulkhead protects the control area from every possible contact with cookware and from any unwanted spills .
The bold style knobs give NikolaTesla Unplugged a robust and high-quality look . Their perfect grip gives stable and precise control , while the magnetic release of the outer cover makes cleaning and maintenance operations very quick and simple . The central glass flap stylishly conceals the extraction area and closing it deactivates extraction .
Unplugged is equipped with three automatic cooking features : Melting , thanks to which it is no longer necessary to stir delicate ingredients , so they don ’ t burn the bottom of the pan ; Warming , that guarantees proper heat levels for slow cooking , like for sauces and creams , in addition to keeping dishes warm , and Simmering , that prevents boiling water from overflowing .
NikolaTesla Unplugged also helps the user cook faster by bringing water to a boil 30 % quicker than a traditional hob , while in the same way food may be fried in half the time , making it crispier and more flavourful .
Finally , the two Bridge zones allow for the preparation of dishes that require the use of over-sized cookware , by joining two adjacent cooking zones and guaranteeing even cooking over its entire surface .
Thanks to the Autocapture feature , you can focus just on what you are cooking and not on unpleasant odours , as NikolaTesla Unplugged automatically sets the most suitable air extraction power , by gradually adjusting and lowering it to remove odours left behind after cooking . The powerful extraction system , positioned in the centre of the hob , guarantees high fume capture levels , as it creates very high air flow speeds . Thanks to Comfort Silence technology , noise levels are extremely low even at maximum speed , thus allowing for easy conversation while cooking .
As a premium product , manufacturers have focused on larger sizes but now , designed to meet the needs of those who only have a smaller space , NikolaTesla FIT brings style and performance to homes where space is limited . It is the first induction hob with integrated extraction that can be installed in a standard base unit . There are two widths of hob 60cm and 72cm , but both fit in a standard 60cm base . The elegant design can be installed flush with the work surface and the shape of the extraction inlet allows maximum flexibility for pan sizes . A gentle push opens the flap , and the extractor starts .
Other products in the NikolaTesla range include :
Switch ’ s exceptionally elegant and iconic design is available in both black with cast iron accents and white glass with polished chrome trim . Both will look stunning in any kitchen .
NikolaTesla Alpha was designed to bring clean design and the most important extraction hob features at a highly competitive price point . It can be easily installed in cabinet bases of both 80 cm and 90 cm and the vitro-ceramic surface is completely smooth for easy cleaning and maintenance .
