All our hoods come fully fitted with a number of features and benefits.

They include lamps to illuminate the cooking area and the latest easily changeable grease filters. They also offer a range of extraction speeds including intensive, and all feature easy to use ergonomic controls.

They are all also very easy to install, with the added benefit that almost all hood models can either be set for ducted or re-circulated extraction depending on the design of the kitchen. This means that you are not restricted to fitting a hood to an outside wall.

Typical Siemens technology and innovation intensive setting with automatic reset facility

The intensive setting gives an extra boost to the extraction level – particularly useful when extra extraction is needed, for example stir frying. As the intensive setting is only required for a short period of time, the hood will automatically revert back to

a lower speed setting after a few minutes.

Softlight dimmer function

Thanks to the dimmer light function you can set the brightness of the hood to provide atmospheric lighting in the kitchen. When the light is switched on, it does not shine at its maximum strength immediately, but builds up gradually. Similarly when you switch the light off, the light gradually fades away. When the light is on,

its intensity can even be adjusted to suit your individual requirements.

Auto after running

Some models have an automatic run on facility, which keeps the hood working for an additional 10 minutes, to help remove any lingering cooking odours.

All the quality and safety you’d expect.

All Siemens hood extraction and noise levels are measured to recognised European standards. Therefore all figures quoted accurately relate to the performance of the hood when it’s either connected to the relevant ducting components or set to the re-circulating mode – so that you can accurately select the most appropriate hood to meet your own requirements.

Noise levels and sound insulation

There are two commonly used measures for noise levels – sound pressure (dBA) and sound power (dB re 1pW).

Although dBA (sound pressure) is the most quoted, particularly by other manufacturers, it can be highly subjective and the test guidelines open to wide interpretation, making comparisons virtually impossible. Siemens prefer to use the sound power method, which requires measurements to be made in a sound insulated room of preset size, using six pre-defined microphone points. This ensures that meaningful comparisons can be made between different models tested in this way.

Many Siemens models use additional sound insulation around the motor to keep noise as low as possible.

Dishwasher-safe metal grease filters and filter boxes

All the metal grease filters on our hoods can be cleaned in a dishwasher. Some of our models (particularly those with glass canopies) have their filters in a box which are removable and can be placed in the dishwasher.
