FAQ

How does the integrated extraction system of the Elica NIKOLATESLA LIBRA BL/F/83 PRF0147745A work?

The extraction system of the Elica NIKOLATESLA LIBRA BL/F/83 PRF0147745A is a downdraft system fully integrated into the hob: the extraction zone is positioned at the centre of the hob and captures fumes, vapours and odours directly at the source. The system is invisible when not in use and activated via integrated touch controls. Autocapture technology automatically adjusts extraction power based on active cooking zones, optimising energy consumption and noise levels. The combined EVO anti-grease, anti-odour and anti-humidity filter lasts up to 3–5 years and is easily regenerable by washing and drying.

Can the Elica NIKOLATESLA LIBRA BL/F/83 PRF0147745A be installed in recirculation mode?

Yes — the Elica NIKOLATESLA LIBRA BL/F/83 PRF0147745A can be installed in ducted mode using separately purchasable Elica installation kits. Recirculation kits are available with different outlet options: under-plinth (KIT0199835), out-of-plinth (KIT0199836) and rear Back Outlet (KIT0199838). The regenerable EVO filter (KIT0200786) is required for recirculation mode. The choice between ducted and recirculation depends on the feasibility of external ducting.
