The Elica NikolaTesla Alpha excels in delivering a combined cooking and ventilation experience. The 4 induction zones heat up quickly and offer precise temperature control, perfect for searing steaks, gently simmering sauces, or rapidly boiling water for pasta. You can easily manage a full family meal, cooking rice and vegetables alongside a curry with ease. The integrated extractor fan automatically kicks in, often without you noticing, thanks to AutoCapture technology. This means that as soon as steam from boiling water or odors from frying begin to rise, the fan power adjusts to effectively clear the air. This eliminates the need to manually adjust settings, keeping your kitchen fresh and preventing food smells from lingering in your home. Even with intense cooking, the Comfort Silence feature ensures that the noise level remains low enough for easy conversation, preventing the extractor from disrupting your kitchen's ambiance. The included Ceramic HP Filter effectively captures grease and odors, contributing to a cleaner environment.
