Choosing a rangehood: the power to perform
Your chosen rangehood must be powerful enough to effectively remove moisture and cooking odours from your
kitchen. It is recommended that air be extracted (or exchanged) in a room depending on your type of cooking:
minimum of 6 times per hour; and a maximum of 12 times per hour.
How to choose a rangehood
With open-plan living becoming more popular, a quiet and efficient
extractor is necessary to deal with strong cooking odours as well as
the grease-laden air that can otherwise linger throughout the house.
As far as style and design is concerned, with the Siemens range of
rangehoods, you’ll be spoilt for choice. But there are also two vital
technical points to consider when choosing a rangehood. The first is
whether you want the rangehood to be ducted or recirculating, and
the second is its power rating – and what you will require depends
on your kitchen space. Here are some helpful pointers.
For example:
Room; 4m x 4m x 2.5m = 40m
3
;
6 changes per hour = 6 x 40m
3
= 240m
3
/h,
so the rangehood must achieve a minimum
of 240m
3
/h.
12 changes per hour = 12 x 40m
3
= 480m
3
/h,
so the rangehood must achieve a maximum
of 480m
3
/h.
Ducted extraction
Ducting out is the most effective method of extraction
if the rangehood can be sited on an outside wall, or
an outside wall can be reached via ducting. All our
extractors are now standardised to facilitate a 150mm
diameter outlet for maximum performance, although
smaller ducting can be used if required. Please see our
installation guide for further advice on best practise
installation.
Recirculation kit
Odours are extracted and filtered, then purified air is
returned to the room. The kit comprises of a carbon filter
and all components needed to ensure that odour free air
is returned into the kitchen. To maintain performance,
the carbon filter should be replaced on a regular basis.
A recirculation kit needs to be purchased as a separate
accessory.
Classic Siemens design
Designed to coordinate with other Siemens cooking
appliances, our rangehoods feature contemporary looks
that integrate with other Siemens cooking appliances.
Rim ventilation function
With chimney rim ventilation, air is extracted around
the edges of an attractive dishwasher-safe steel cover
that conceals the grease-collecting filters. Changing the
filter is easy thanks to the convenient and secure cover
mechanism.
varioControl
Available on the LI49632P and LI48932P slideout
rangehoods, the position of the controls can be set
to four different positions to suit your own individual
requirements. The control can be mounted on the front
edge, front top or positioned on the right or left hand
side of the rangehood. It also has the option to fit a
stainless steel décor panel strip.

Design & Innovation
An illuminating experience
Every rangehood model offers excellent
illumination of the cooktop space
underneath. Most use the 20W halogen
bulbs, which give a bright white light
and are very energy efficient. Our iQdrive
canopy and island rangehoods feature
bright, long-lasting and super energy
efficient 3W LED lights.
softLight LED lighting with dimmer
All of our iQdrive canopy and island
rangehoods have softLight, LED lighting
with dimmer function to create beautiful
atmospheric lighting for your kitchen.
When the light is turned on, rather than
shining at maximum strength straight
away, the softLight brightens gradually
to the required level, and the dimmer
function allows you to adjust its intensity
as required. Turn it off again, and the light
gently fades away.
Powerful and efficient
With rangehoods energy efficiency
plays an important role. At Siemens,
we have developed the iQdrive
high-performance brushless motor
that is the most economical, durable
and quiet motor ever built by Siemens.
