ELICA, THE ITALIAN WORLD LEADER IN STYLISH KITCHEN EXTRACTION OFFERS THE WIDEST RANGE ON THE MARKET

The Elica switch family of venting hobs is recognised as the most classic design in the sector and 2025 sees a number of major developments for the line.
Many of the latest models feature bright white LED controls when in use and are available in the new“ Raw” matt anti-scratch finish as well as traditional black glass. The Switch family are highly specified hobs with many automatic functions including simmer, melting and warming modes
Elica’ s new“ green” induction technology is approximately 33 % more efficient than conventional induction hobs. This is a real benefit as hobs use more energy when operating than any other appliance. Ideally suited to the contract and developer market, where energy efficiency is particularly important for the marketing of new homes to environmentally conscious purchasers, it has been introduced on the highly competitive Primis induction hobs and Alpha B venting hobs. Both offer all the performance and features you would expect and are available in 60 and 80 cm sizes.
Effective grease and odour filtering is at the heart of all Elica models and the new EVO filtering system gives the highest grease filtering efficiency available. When installed in recirculating mode the combination odour / grease filter is convenient and practical. The EVO system is extremely easy to maintain – just lift out the filter from the top of the hob and wash in the dishwasher to clean and then put the odour filter in a warm 75 ° C oven to regenerate.
When space is at a premium Elica offer their FIT venting hobs- in 60cm and 70cm sizes as well as the XL 80cm for maximum flexibility in any size kitchen. All have a bridging zone for large pans and the XL 80cm model is available with standard or the new Raw antiscratch, matt finish.
Elica also has FLAME- the only gas venting hob on the market and is perfect for more traditional cooks. Flame is available in both black and grey finishes.
All Elica venting hobs can be installed in duct-out or recirculating mode and there is a comprehensive range of recirculating kits for every type of installation. Elica odour filters are long-life and can be easily regenerated so they keep their performance for up to 3 years
For peace of mind all Elica induction and venting hobs come with a manufacturers five year warranty.
