Where to buy the Elica hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Elica NIKOLATESLA FIT 3Z BL/A/60 hob is a space-saving combination of three-zone induction cooking and integrated extraction. Its 30cm dual zone is the defining cooking feature, giving it more flexibility with large pans than many compact layouts, while the 60cm width suits a standard kitchen run.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Combines a 60cm induction hob and extractor in one appliance
- ✓ Large 30cm dual zone accommodates oversized cookware
- ✓ Layout flexibility
- ✓ A-rated extractor energy efficiency with separately adjustable slider controls
- ✓ Fast Boiling function is specified to reduce boiling time by up to 30%
Worth considering
- Only three cooking zones, giving less simultaneous pan capacity than many conventional four-zone 60cm induction hobs
- Filtering extraction is rated lower than duct-out operation, with maximum normal filtering airflow of 395m³/h compared with 480m³/h duct-out
- Filtering operation can reach 68dB(A), making recirculation noticeably louder at maximum output than the 61dB(A) duct-out maximum
- The extractor's grease-filtering efficiency is rated D, which is a weak point beside its A energy-efficiency class

- ✓ Well suited to cooks who regularly use large pans, thanks to the 30cm dual cooking zone.
- ✓ A practical fit for open-plan kitchens when integrated extraction and relatively low duct-out noise are priorities.
- ✓ Suitable for installations that can support either duct-out extraction or a compatible recirculation kit.

the retailer’s supplied information gives higher extraction figures than Elica's official technical data. The review uses Elica's verified ratings of 215m³/h minimum, 480m³/h maximum and 595m³/h boost for duct-out operation.
Three-zone induction cooking
The Elica NIKOLATESLA FIT 3Z BL/A/60 hob uses three induction zones rather than the more common four-zone layout. Its standout feature is a 30cm dual zone designed for larger pans, supported by separate 18cm and 14cm zones for smaller cookware.
The cooking surface has a total rated absorption of 7.2kW, with selectable power limitation from 3.1kW to 4.5kW. Slider touch controls provide direct adjustment, while the Fast Boiling function is designed to reach boiling point up to 30% faster than normal operation.
Integrated extraction in a 60cm format
The Elica NIKOLATESLA FIT 3Z BL/A/60 hob combines induction cooking with a central integrated extractor, making it a space-saving alternative to fitting a separate hood. Duct-out airflow is rated at 215m³/h minimum, 480m³/h maximum and 595m³/h on boost according to Elica's technical data.
Filtering operation is also supported with the appropriate installation equipment. Its published filtering figures are lower than the duct-out ratings, reaching 395m³/h at maximum normal operation, with a separate 490m³/h filtering figure listed by the manufacturer.
Noise and efficiency
For duct-out operation, Elica lists extraction noise from 42dB(A) to 61dB(A). Filtering operation is rated from 51dB(A) to 68dB(A), so recirculation is the noisier installation mode at maximum output.
The integrated extractor carries an A energy-efficiency class and an annual hood energy consumption figure of 33.4kWh. The fluid-dynamic efficiency class is B, while grease-filtering efficiency is rated D, which is less impressive than its overall energy rating.
Controls, installation and upkeep
Separate slider touch controls are provided for cooking and extraction. The black-glass surface gives the appliance a streamlined appearance, while the specified 56cm by 49cm cut-out needs to be checked carefully against the worktop and cabinet installation.
The unit measures 60cm wide, 51.5cm deep and 26cm high, and weighs 17.7kg. Its published electrical compatibility includes 220–240V and 380–415V two- or three-phase configurations, subject to correct installation by a qualified professional.
