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

The power of such equipment from the manufacturer Siemens is 400 m³ per hour and above. This is quite enough for a small kitchen. To accurately calculate the optimum performance of the hood, multiply the volume of the kitchen by 10.

Built-in hood usually works on the principle of air recirculation. Some types of equipment provide the ability to exhaust air, for example, model L1 46631 IX. Embedded models are more economical than others, as they are almost invisible in the interior and do not need an effective finish. Differ in quite low noise against high performance. Built-in hood Siemens is functional, there is no difficulty in installing.

The pollution indicator indicates the need to clean the grease filterwhich, in turn, is easily removed and cleaned. Lighting is provided by halogen lamps.

Siemens island hoods are very convenient because they give you freedom when planning the kitchen arrangement. The flexibility of installation options allows you to mount them in rooms of any kind. Island hoods are attached to the ceiling with a pipe and can be installed directly above the stove. Using an adapter will allow you to install this hood even on a sloping ceiling.

The lighting in the cooking process is provided with energy-saving LED lighting. Many models are equipped with additional sound insulation.

The mode of operation in these types is represented by two types: the mode of withdrawal and circulation.

It should be noted that the carbon 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 buttons for regulating the power of the fan. It is also possible to control the functions: lighting, timer, interval operation (starting at a certain time every hour), information output, residual progress, basic settings. Just above the control panel is a digital display to display the current operating parameters.

For owners of large kitchen premises, Siemens offers a wall-mounted hood LC 258BA90 120 cm wide. It is similar in function to the models described above, but due to the large size there are differences in the lighting system.

In kitchen hoods today two types of filters are used:

• carbonic;

First of all, air processing is carried out with a grease filter, then the coal barrier draws in air, processes it and releases it outside. The carbon filter is installed behind the grease catcher and is used for air recirculation. If available, the hood can be installed anywhere without venting. The carbon filter works smoothly. He recycles the air without taking it outside the kitchen.
