Elica NikolaTesla Switch NT-SWITCH-BLK-DO 83cm Black Induction Venting Hob with Duct Out Only

The Elica NikolaTesla Switch is an integrated induction hob and extraction system designed for modern kitchens. This 83cm wide appliance combines cooking and ventilation in one sleek unit, eliminating the need for a separate overhead extractor hood. The hob features four induction zones with a clean, continuous glass surface that becomes invisible in standby mode, while the extraction area is discreetly hidden beneath a glass and cast iron ring. This design creates a minimalist aesthetic that complements contemporary kitchen styles. The hob incorporates several advanced technologies for efficient cooking. The Airmatic function uses intelligent sensors to detect cooking fumes and automatically adjusts the extraction power accordingly. Two bridge zones can be combined to accommodate larger pots and pans, providing flexible cooking space. Pot detection technology helps conserve energy by alerting users when a zone is active but unused, and automatically activating zones when cookware is placed on them. The system includes a Revolution Filter that achieves 82% air filtration efficiency, significantly higher than the market average of 60%. This model is particularly suitable for kitchen renovations where space is limited or where a clean, uncluttered look is desired. The duct-out-only configuration requires connection to external ventilation. With its intuitive touch controls, nine power levels, child lock, timer, and keep warm function, it offers both convenience and safety. The relatively low noise level of 60 dB(A) and powerful 620-630 m³/hr extraction rate make it practical for everyday family cooking while maintaining a comfortable kitchen environment.
