Hob and Hood 2in1 Elica NIKOLATESLA FIT XL BACK EXIT BL/F/83 integrated hob with extractor (back exit)

Elica NIKOLATESLA FIT XL BACK EXIT BL/F/83 is an 83 cm black kitchen hob hood designed for installation above cooktops with a rear duct outlet. The hood extracts cooking fumes, steam and odors, directing airflow towards the back for connection to an external duct. Its width suits wider hobs and cooktops found in residential kitchens, providing a practical solution where a back-vent configuration is required.

Advantages

The hood's rear-vent layout simplifies ducting to an external exhaust point behind the appliance, reducing the need for side or ceiling duct runs. A wider 83 cm canopy covers larger cooking zones, helping to capture fumes more effectively across the hob surface. The black finish integrates with contemporary kitchen styles while being easy to maintain. The unit is engineered for household use and supports continuous extraction during cooking tasks.

Suitable for

• Homes with an external exhaust duct routed behind the cooktop
• Wider cooktops and hobs up to and around 83 cm in width
• Residential kitchens requiring reliable removal of steam, smoke and odors
• Installations where a discreet black finish is preferred

Key specifications

• Installation type: wall-mounted above hob with rear (back) air outlet
• Width: 83 cm canopy for extended coverage of the cooktop
• Colour/finish: black exterior suitable for modern kitchens
• Airflow direction: rear extraction to external ducting
• Designed use: residential kitchen ventilation for cooking fumes and steam

How to use

Install the hood at the recommended height above the hob, ensuring the rear exhaust connection is aligned with existing ductwork or prepared ducting to the exterior. Operate the extraction controls during cooking to remove steam and odors; adjust fan speed according to the intensity of cooking emissions. Regularly replace or clean filters as required by the model to maintain extraction efficiency and avoid grease buildup.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the hood at a moderate to high extraction setting during frying or heavy cooking, and reduce to lower settings for simmering. Ensure the rear duct run is as straight and short as possible to maintain airflow efficiency and follow local building regulations for external venting.
