3. Setup and Installation
The SIEMENS LC67BHP50 cooker hood is designed for wall-mounted installation. It can operate in either extraction mode or recirculation mode. For recirculation mode, an optional recirculation kit is required.
3.1 Dimensions and Mounting
Refer to the diagram below for detailed dimensions and mounting specifications. Ensure sufficient clearance above the cooking surface as per local regulations.
Figure 2: Technical diagram illustrating the dimensions of the SIEMENS LC67BHP50 cooker hood in centimeters. Key measurements include minimum height for air extraction (628-954 mm) and air circulation (628-1064 mm), width (600 mm), and depth (500 mm). The diagram also indicates the air outlet position and filter orientation for extraction.
- Extraction Mode: Air is expelled outside through a duct. Minimum height: 628-954 mm.
- Recirculation Mode: Air is filtered and returned to the kitchen. Requires an optional recirculation kit. Minimum height: 628-1064 mm.
- The appliance dimensions are approximately 50 cm (depth) x 60 cm (width) x 62.8 cm (height, minimum).
3.2 Electrical Connection
The cooker hood requires a power connection of 143 W. The connection cable length is 1.3 meters. Ensure the power supply matches the appliance's requirements and is properly grounded.
4. Operating Instructions
The SIEMENS LC67BHP50 features touchControl for easy operation.
4.1 Control Panel
The touchControl panel with a digital display allows you to manage the fan speeds and lighting. The panel typically includes buttons for power, fan speed adjustment (increase/decrease), intensive settings, and lighting control.
4.2 Fan Speed Settings
The cooker hood offers 5 fan speeds, including 2 intensive settings. The normal operating sound level ranges from 47 dB to 60 dB.
- Normal Operation: Select speeds 1-3 for everyday cooking. Air extraction capacity up to 416 m³/h.
- Intensive Settings: Use the 2 intensive settings for strong odors or high steam production. These settings provide an air extraction capacity of up to 674 m³/h and automatically revert to a lower speed after 6 minutes.
- Automatic Intermittent Ventilation: After use, the hood can run for 10 minutes at a low speed to clear residual odors.
4.3 Lighting
The hood is equipped with 2 x 3 W LED lights, providing 276 lux illumination with a color temperature of 3500 K. The softLight feature allows for dimmable light intensity.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your cooker hood.
5.1 Grease Filters
The cooker hood includes 2 metallic grease filters. These filters are washable and can be cleaned in a dishwasher. A saturation indicator will alert you when the metallic filters require cleaning. If operating in recirculation mode, the active carbon filter also has a saturation indicator.
- Cleaning Frequency: Clean metallic grease filters approximately every 3-4 weeks, depending on usage.
- Replacement of Carbon Filters: Active carbon filters (for recirculation mode) are not washable and must be replaced when the saturation indicator illuminates, typically every 3-6 months.
5.2 Exterior Cleaning
Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your cooker hood.
- Hood not turning on:
- Check if the appliance is properly plugged into a power outlet.
- Verify the circuit breaker or fuse.
- Poor extraction performance:
- Clean or replace the grease filters if they are saturated.
- Ensure there are no obstructions in the air duct (for extraction mode).
- Check if the fan speed is set appropriately for the cooking task.
- For recirculation mode, ensure the active carbon filter is not saturated.
- Excessive noise:
- Ensure the hood is securely mounted and all screws are tightened.
- Check for any loose components or foreign objects in the fan area.
- Verify that the ducting (if applicable) is correctly installed and not restricted.
- Lights not working:
- Check if the light switch is on.
- If individual LED lights are replaceable, consult a qualified technician for replacement.
If the problem persists after checking these points, contact SIEMENS customer support or a qualified service technician.
