The extraction system of the Elica NIKOLATESLA FLAME EVO BL/A/88 PRF0196341 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.
