NIKOLATESLA UNPLUGGED

Natural interaction for guaranteed great cooking results

NikolaTesla Unplugged is Elica’s new proposal, marking a further turning point in the aesthetics, features and usage of extractor hobs. Conceived to create a natural and immediate relationship with the product, Unplugged is controlled through fixed click-release knobs with analog touch & feel, providing quick and intuitive access to its features. All elements are incorporated into a bold-lined 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 professional, robust and high-quality look. Their perfect grip texture covers an extremely stable internal structure, while the magnetic release of the outer cover makes cleaning and maintenance operations easy and precise. Smooth and easy cleaning operations of the hob are also guaranteed by the central glass flap, which conceals the extraction area, activating it only when necessary. Refined design solutions that cater to top performance in cooking and extraction. Nikolatesla Unplugged is for anyone who loves to experiment in the kitchen and wants amazing results with little effort, both in daily life and on special occasions: the joy of creating healthy and delicious dishes for the whole family. Thanks to the Autocapture feature, you can focus just on what you are cooking and not on unpleasant odors, as NikolaTesla Unplugged automatically sets the most suitable air extraction power, by gradually adjusting and lowering it to remove odors left behind after cooking. The powerful extraction system, positioned in the center of the hob, guarantees high fume capture levels, as it far exceeds their rising speed. Thanks to Comfort Silence technology, noise levels are extremely low even at maximum speed, thus allowing for pleasant conversation while cooking. NikolaTesla Unplugged is not just a valuable design object with a bold look: it has been inspired by anyone working in the kitchen every day, as well as by lovers of technology who wish to obtain great results more easily.

Your work belongs in the conversation.
