The German concern Siemens AG operates in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering, industry, transport and communications. Kitchen appliances have been produced by this brand for about 170 years. Siemens is successfully competing with leading companies in terms of high production efficiency and functionality of the manufactured equipment. The equipment produced by the company undergoes regular changes, taking into account modern design findings and the requirements of potential buyers for the functionality and interface of the exhaust equipment.

As a brand from Germany, there is never any doubt. The goods are checked for compliance with quality standards - durability and reliability. Siemens cooker hoods have established themselves as environmentally friendly, functional and energy efficient products. Today Siemens even manufactures hoods with a built-in screen, which make the cooking process as comfortable as possible.

Exhaust technology from Siemens is presented in various types:

• built-in;
• island;
• wall.

The built-in hood is located in the cupboard above the stove, which saves a significant amount of space in the kitchen. There are fully recessed hoods, as well as models with a pull-out panel, which are completely hidden and can only be pulled out during operation or for cleaning.

The control type can be electronic or mechanical. Sizes - from compact to overall. Before buying, it is important to determine in advance the size of the case, as well as the rate of performance of the equipment, taking into account the area of ​​the room and the frequency of cooking.

The capacity of such equipment from Siemens is 400 m³ per hour and more. This is enough for a small kitchen. To accurately calculate the optimal performance of the hood, you need to multiply the volume of the kitchen by 10.

The built-in hood usually works on the principle of air recirculation. Some types of equipment allow for air extraction, for example, model L1 46631 IX. Built-in models are more economical than others, since they are almost invisible in the interior and do not need a spectacular finish. They differ in a fairly low noise level against a background of high performance. The Siemens built-in hood is functional, there are no difficulties in installation.

The clogging indicator indicates that the grease filter needs to be cleanedwhich, in turn, is easy to remove and clean. Lighting is provided by halogen lamps.

Siemens island hoods are very convenient in that they give freedom when planning kitchen furnishings.The flexibility of installation options allows them to be mounted in any kind of room. Island hoods are pipe-connected to the ceiling and can be installed directly above the slab. Using an adapter will allow you to install such a hood even on an inclined ceiling.

Lighting during cooking is provided by energy-saving LED lighting. Many models are equipped with additional noise insulation.

Wall-mounted hoods from the manufacturer Siemens differ in shape, size and functionality. For example, the LC 958BA90 and LC 968BA90 models are 90 cm wide and have a capacity of up to 800 cc. m / hour. Moreover, the latest model is one of the few hoods in the catalog presented in black. The mode of operation in these types is represented by two types: the mode of removal and circulation.

It should be noted that the charcoal filter is not included in the package of these models and must be purchased separately. The control panel contains a switch for operating parameters of the hood, an on / off button, and keys for regulating the fan power. It is also possible to control functions: lighting, timer, interval operation (start at a certain time every hour), information output, residual stroke, basic settings. A digital display is located just above the control panel to display the current operating parameters.

For owners of large kitchens, Siemens offers a wall-mounted hood LC 258BA90 with a width of 120 cm. In terms of functionality, it is similar to the models described above, however, due to the large size, differences appeared in the lighting system.

There are two types of filters used in kitchen hoods today:

• carbonic;
• fatty.

First of all, the air is processed by a grease filter, then the carbon barrier draws in air, processes it and releases it outside. The charcoal filter is installed behind the grease filter and is used for air recirculation. If available, the hood can be installed anywhere without air extraction. The charcoal filter works smoothly. It processes the air without taking it outside the kitchen.
