Combined with Comfort Silence mode, delay switch-off, and a maintenance alarm that reminds you when the filter needs attention, this is one of the most intelligent venting hobs on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDucted or Recirculation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NikolaTesla Alpha is supplied ready for ducted installation, venting extracted air to the outside for maximum performance. If external ducting isn't possible in your kitchen, the optional recirculation kit (KIT0167757, sold separately) allows the hob to filter and recirculate air back into the kitchen instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I still need a cooker hood with this hob?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the NikolaTesla Alpha has a fully integrated extraction system built into the hob itself. It draws cooking fumes and steam downward through the surface, eliminating the need for a separate overhead cooker hood. This frees up visual space and creates a cleaner kitchen aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan it be used without external ducting?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — with the optional recirculation kit (KIT0167757, sold separately), the hob can operate in recirculation mode, filtering air through activated charcoal filters and returning it to the kitchen. Ducted mode is recommended for maximum extraction performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat induction cookware do I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou need induction-compatible cookware — pans with a magnetic base (iron or steel). Most modern pans are induction-ready; check for the induction symbol on the base. Copper, aluminium, and glass cookware will not work on induction zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow loud is the extraction?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt standard extraction rates the NikolaTesla Alpha operates at a maximum of 61dB(A) — comparable to a normal conversation. On boost mode this rises to 67dB(A). Comfort Silence mode can reduce noise further during quieter cooking sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I order if the item shows as out of stock?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — we accept orders even when stock shows as zero.
