Features and range of Siemens hobs

Modern kitchens with monolithic countertops and beautifully selected interiors require new approaches and solutions when choosing household appliances. Separate hobs do not clutter up the space, made of specially developed quality materials. They are a great alternative to traditional bulky slabs. In this article we will take a look at Siemens hobs.

Siemens brand products have a proven track record. They are distinguished by solid German assembly, reliability and durability. All panel components are made in Germany - from the surface to the induction coils. At Siemens, everything is thought out to the smallest detail to ensure the convenience of cooking.

The company's products are constantly being improved. Technology keeps pace with the times. New models appear, opportunities expand. The panels have a beautiful design, high functionality, and are created to save users energy and time. A wide range of company products and a wide range of prices allow you to choose the best option for each customer.

Let's take a look at what the manufacturers offer to make the cooking process enjoyable. To begin with, it is worth deciding on the source of energy - gas or electricity.

The gas surface has the following advantages:

• profitability - if there is a central gas supply, it is much cheaper to use such equipment;
• long service life - can serve up to 40 years;
• cooking speed - the gas burner does not need a warm-up time.

Disadvantages:

• less functionality than electrical;
• open flame - dangerous if there are small children at home;
• the possibility of gas leakage.

Siemens gas panels are equipped with auto-ignition, a gas control system, and have an additional set of nozzles used when using gas from a cylinder. Some models are equipped with a high power burner with triple crown technology.

An electrical surface is a convenient option if the project does not provide for a gas supply in the house. Siemens electrical panels offer models with different heating elements: tape, spiral, halogen and induction. The use of electric stoves involves the use of dishes with a flat bottom, which exactly matches the rim of the burner.

Advantages:

• a large number of models and versatility;
• high precision temperature control;
• easier care;
• lack of open fire.

Disadvantages:

• high price of a household appliance;
• increased power consumption;
• special dishes are required;
• special wiring requirements.

The combined hob is equipped with gas and electric burners. The option is convenient in case of fuel supply interruptions.

The induction surface is gaining more and more demand and popularity, although at a price more expensive than a conventional electric stove. Siemens induction hobs are high-tech, cooking on them is one and a half times faster than on an electric stove. The advantages of such household appliances:

• the technology saves up to a third of electricity costs;
• the cooking process takes little time;
• heating liquids to the boiling point takes several minutes;
• the device is the safest - the panel is heated only under the dishes, the device is turned off immediately after removing the container from the surface, the burners cool down almost instantly;
• the temperature is easily adjustable, the contents of the pots do not escape;
• the panel is easy to clean and does not form carbon deposits.

Let's figure out which stove to choose among the wealth of options. In order for the built-in equipment to suit you with all its parameters, take into account a number of nuances.

• Surface material - glass, glass ceramics, metal, enamel. Models made of high quality stainless steel are more reliable during operation. Glass ceramics have a modern appearance, are easy to clean, but they can crack from temperature extremes. Tempered glass can withstand extreme temperatures, does not break if you drop dishes on it, is reliable and durable, but is afraid of blows to the end, with such an effect it can completely crack.
• Dependent and independent models - for the first option, an oven is needed, the second is absolutely autonomous.
• Additional advantages of the functionality are: child protection, pause, timer, automatic cookware recognition, safety stop, instant heating, residual heat detector, sensor for frying, heating zone for dishes of non-standard size.
• Siemens manufactures cookers for different cooking volumes. The assortment includes a standard 4-burner, compact Domino hobs, powerful models for 6, 5 burners.

Among the huge range of models, we will focus on the most popular options.

Built-in gas hob with a standard set of burners (4 pieces). Precise flame control is possible thanks to 9 power levels. The surface is made of stainless steel, made in gray, has a stylish and expensive look. In front are mechanical rotary fire controls.

One of the burners is equipped with two WOK flame circuits, which allows you to cook quickly and in large quantities. Implemented automatic ignition and gas control system to ensure safety. Cast iron panel grilles. The gas surface is distinguished by high quality materials, components and assembly.

Stylish 4-burner electric hob, working on Hi-Light technology. Has a protective stainless steel frame. Made of durable glass ceramics, the mirror-smooth surface of which fits into any design. Flush-mounted installation is provided. The touch buttons with the Touch Control system respond well to touch, the automatic boil function reduces the power of the hotplate immediately after reaching the boiling point. The timer simplifies the cooking process. It can be configured in various ways: to mute or to sound an audible signal. On two burners, it is possible to increase the heating zone in case you need to put a large saucepan or frying pan, dishes with an oval bottom, for example, a rooster.

Disadvantages: you cannot turn off an individual hotplate with one touch of your finger, you need to either reduce the power to zero, or turn off all the heating elements at once. When liquid or food gets on the control panel, the device begins to beep strongly, the Error indication turns on, and how to turn off this mode is not indicated in the instructions.

The induction glass-ceramic hob with 4 cooking zones has a striking steel stop. Made of high-strength glass ceramics, the quality of which is beyond doubt. It has the ability to detect the presence of dishes, 17 power levels, touch control Touch Slieder, endowed with a quick heating function PowerBoost. Among the useful advantages is the presence of a timer, which can be turned on even during the cooking process, a power control slider, autofocus - only that part of the surface that is in contact with the dishes is heated. Siemens EH645FE17E is equipped with residual heat detectors that allow heating without wasting energy.

The main sensor has a temporary stop function in case the hostess needs to interrupt. The kit includes a special scraper for removing stubborn dirt. The negative qualities of the model include a high price and some noise in the work.

An excellent example of an induction hob. The panel is white, equipped with 4 heating elements. One of the burners contains an expansion zone for oval dishes, which is controlled by a separate button. The frying sensor saves time and allows you not to monitor the heating, reports on reaching a certain temperature with a characteristic sound and visually. PowerBoost function has been implemented for all cooking zones, child safety lock.

Stopwatch, 17 power levels, 2-position detectors of residual heat, recognition of the presence or absence of dishes, automated safety shutdown and touch control panel with Direct Select system, the ability to briefly lock the panel, use a pause - all this creates the conditions for cooking quickly and with pleasure. Disadvantages: makes a little noise during operation.

Among the best models, the EX675LXC1E takes its well-deserved place. It has 4 induction heating elements with expansion functions (can be used as 2 large burners or as 4 conventional ones). The range of possibilities is impressive and will satisfy the most demanding chef. For example, The FryingSensor allows you to adjust the frying temperature after the cookware has warmed up. You can turn on the Cleaning-pause if you need to be distracted for half a minute.

Among the advantages of the surface the ability to cook in any utensil, implemented child protection, ease of use, beautiful design. The heating zones have a geometrically regular rectangular shape, which gives the surface a special modern design. The side profiles are made of metal, the front edge is beveled. Each zone is equipped with an indicator to save energy, the residual heat does not pose a danger to people. Among the surface imperfections, interruptions in work during the auto-boiling mode are noted, fingerprints remain on the glass when touched.

To connect the kitchen hob to the power supply yourself, you will need a separate line with a suitable wire cross-section. It must end with a special socket, sometimes a terminal box, depending on the surface model. Accordingly, the cable of the plate is equipped with a power plug, or the ends of the wires have clamps. The panel body is grounded to the socket terminal with an independent wire. Some companies produce devices with a grounding bus, it is fixed with a grounding wire in the apartment. If you have a plug, connecting the device with your own hands is not a big problem. But in order to connect a hob with clamps, certain knowledge is required.

For example, the device has a 4-wire cable and 3 electrical wires stick out from the wall. Then the brown and black wires of the surface are twisted and fastened to the phase wire, the blue is connected to zero. The green cable is fixed to ground.

Very often in the process of use, the question arises of how to remove the child lock, since it does not turn off even when the device is turned off from the network. To unlock the panel, press the key indicator and hold it for 4-6 seconds.
