Conceived to create a natural and immediate relationship with the product, NikolaTesla Unplugged is controlled through fixed click-release knobs with analog touch and feel, providing quick and intuitive access to its features. All elements are incorporated into a bold-lined appearance, developed to intelligently separate the cooking zone from the control area.

An elegant shock-resistant bulkhead protects the control area from every possible contact with cookware and from any unwanted spills. The bold style knobs give NikolaTesla Unplugged a professional, robust and high-quality look. Their perfect grip texture covers an extremely stable internal structure, while the magnetic release of the outer cover makes cleaning and maintenance operations easy and precise.

Smooth and easy cleaning operations of the hob are also guaranteed by the central glass flap, which conceals the extraction area, activating it only when necessary. Refined design solutions that cater to top performance in cooking and extraction. Nikolatesla Unplugged is for anyone who loves to experiment in the kitchen and wants amazing results with little effort, both in daily life and on special occasions: the joy of creating healthy and delicious dishes for the whole family.

Unplugged is equipped with three automatic cooking features: Melting, Warming, and Simmering. Moreover, it helps the user to cook faster by bringing water to a boil 30% quicker than a traditional hob, while in the same way food may be fried in half the time, making it crispier and more flavorful.
Finally, the two Bridge zones allow for the preparation of dishes that require the use of oversized cookware, by joining two adjacent cooking zones and guaranteeing even cooking over its entire surface.

Thanks to the Autocapture feature, you can focus just on what you are cooking and not on unpleasant odors, as NikolaTesla Unplugged automatically sets the most suitable air extraction power, by gradually adjusting and lowering it to remove odors left behind after cooking. The powerful extraction system, positioned in the center of the hob, guarantees high fume capture levels, as it far exceeds their rising speed. Thanks to Comfort Silence technology, noise levels are extremely low even at maximum speed. NikolaTesla Unplugged is not just a valuable design object with a bold look: it has been inspired by anyone working in the kitchen every day, as well as by lovers of technology who wish to obtain great results more easily.
