Frequently Asked Questions - LC41950 SIEMENS

How do I install the Siemens LC41950 range hood?

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above electric hobs and 75 cm above gas hobs. Use the included template for drilling and secure with screws. Connect the duct to a 150 mm outlet or use recirculation mode with charcoal filters.

How do I clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand with warm water and mild detergent. Allow them to dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every 2 months or more often with heavy use.

How do I replace the activated carbon filter?

If using recirculation mode, replace the activated carbon filter every 4-6 months. Open the filter cover, remove the old filter, and insert a new one (Siemens model: LZ41700). Close the cover securely.

What should I do if the hood is not extracting properly?

Check that the grease filters are clean and not clogged. Ensure the duct is not blocked or crushed. For recirculation mode, verify the carbon filter is not saturated. Also check the fan speed setting.

How do I change the light bulbs?

Disconnect the hood from power. Remove the light cover (if applicable) and replace the halogen bulb (2 x 40 W, G4 base) with a new one. Use a cloth to avoid touching the bulb directly. Reattach the cover and restore power.

Why is my range hood making noise?

Noise can be due to loose parts, a dirty fan, or blocked duct. Check for any objects in the fan, tighten screws, and clean the fan blades. If noise persists, contact a professional.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, the Siemens LC41950 can be used in recirculation mode with activated carbon filters (sold separately). You must install the charcoal filters and ensure the recirculation outlet is open.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate is 620 m³/h at intensive speed. Normal speeds range from 150 to 400 m³/h depending on the setting.

How do I operate the controls?

Operating Instructions

Appliance description

Operating modes

Exhaust-air mode:

☐ The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and conveys them through the grease filter into the atmosphere.
☐ The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the kitchen vapours.
☐ The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and odours.

When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the underpressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

Operating modes

This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as hobs and ovens.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode – with activated carbon filter.

Circulating-air mode:

☐ An activated carbon filter must be fitted for this operating mode (see Filters and maintenance).

⚠ The complete installation set and replacement filters can be obtained from specialist outlets.

The corresponding accessory numbers can be found at the end of these operating instructions.

☐ The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours which are purified in the grease filter and activated carbon filter and then conveyed back into the kitchen.

☐ The grease filter absorbs the grease particles in the kitchen vapours.

☐ The activated carbon filter binds the odorous substances.

⚠️ If no activated carbon filter is installed, it is not possible to bind the odorous substances in the cooking vapours.

Important notes:

☐ The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
☐ This extractor hood complies with all relevant safety regulations.

Ventilator settings

Switching ON:

☐ Slide the right slide switch to the desired fan setting.

Switching OFF:

☐ Slide the right slide switch back to 0.

Lighting:

☐ The light can be switched on at any time, even though the fan is switched off.

Filters and maintenance

Grease filters:

Metal filters are used to trap the greasy element of the vapours that develop during cooking.

The filter mats are made from non-combustible metal.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, not only does the risk of it catching fire increase but the efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely affected.

Important:

By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate intervals, the possibility of them catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.

Cleaning the metal grease filters:

☐ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filter must be cleaned after 8 to 10 weeks.
☐ The filters can be cleaned in a dish-washer. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured.
☐ The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.

Important:

Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not be washed together with other dishes etc.

☐ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot soapy water first of all.

Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.

Filters and maintenance

Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:

1. Press the catch on the grease filters inwards and fold the filters down.

Illustration of a kitchen range hood with close-ups of internal structures and structural details (no text or symbols)

1. Clean the filters.
2. Insert the clean filters back into the hood.

Activated carbon filter:

For neutralizing odours in recirculating mode.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, there is an increased risk of fire and the function of the extractor hood may be impaired.

Important:

Change the activated carbon filter promptly to prevent the risk of fire from the accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying or roasting.

Inserting the filter:

1. Remove the metal filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters").
2. Insert an activated carbon filter on the right and left of the fan motor and rotate the filters until they lock into position.

1. Insert the grease filters (see removal and installation of the metal-mesh grease filters).

Removing the filter:

The filters are removed in reverse sequence.

Replacing the activated carbon filters:

☐ During normal operation (1 to 2 hours per day) the activated carbon filters should be replaced approximately 1 x year.
☐ The activated carbon filters are available from specialist outlets (see Optional accessories).
☐ Use only original filters. The appliance is then guaranteed to function perfectly.

Disposal of old activated carbon filters:

□ Activated carbon filters do NOT contain any harmful substances. They can therefore be disposed of as household refuse.

Cleaning and care

Disconnect the extractor hood from the electricity supply by pulling out the mains plug or switching it off at the fuse box.

☐ At the same time as you clean the grease filters, clean off any grease from all accessible parts of the housing. This significantly reduces the fire hazard and ensures that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible.
☐ Use a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaner to clean the canopy of the extractor hood.
☐ Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried on but loosen it up with a damp cloth.
☐ Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges that could cause scratches.
☐ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic parts, otherwise the surface may become matt in appearance.

Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is adequately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!

⚠ Clean the sliding switch with a soft, damp cloth (mild detergent solution) only. Do not use stainless steel polish on the sliding switch.

Stainless steel surfaces:

☐ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
☐ Clean the surface in the same direction as it has been ground and polished.

⚠ Do not use any of the following to clean stainless steel surfaces: abrasive sponges, cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride!

Aluminium and plastic surfaces:

☐ Use a soft, non-linting window cloth or micro-fibre cloth.
☐ Do not use dry cloths.
☐ Use a mild window cleaning agent.
☐ Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners.
☐ Do not use abrasive agents.

Replacing the light bulbs

1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull out the mains plug or switch off the electricity supply at the fuse box.
2. Remove the grease filters (see Filters and Maintenance).
3. Press down the bulb cover and disconnect from the light strip.

Prior to installation

Exhaust-air mode

The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a ventilation shaft or directly through the outside wall into the open.

Exhaust air should neither be directed into a smoke or exhaust flue that is currently used for other purposes, nor into a shaft that is used for ventilating rooms in which stoves or fireplaces are also located.

Exhaust air may be discharged in accordance with official and statutory regulations only (e.g. national building regulations).

Local authority regulations must be observed when discharging air into smoke or exhaust flues that are not otherwise in use.

When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the underpressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as hobs and ovens.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode – with activated carbon filter.

Prior to installation

For operating in exhaust-air mode, a one-way flap should be mounted inside the extractor hood unless there is already one fitted in the outlet duct or wall ventilation box.

If no one-way flap was enclosed with the hood, it can be obtained from a specialist retailer.

Installing the one-way flap:

☐ Snap the one-way flap into the air pipe.

⚠ The two lightly sprung flaps must be able to move upwards.

If the exhaust air is going to be discharged into the open, a telescopic wall box should be fitted into the outside wall.

For optimum extractor hood efficiency:

☐ Short, smooth air exhaust pipe.
☐ As few bends in the pipe as possible.
☐ Diameter of pipe to be as large as possible and no tight bends in pipe. If long, rough exhaust-air pipes, many pipe bends or smaller pipe diameters are used, the air extraction rate will no longer be at an optimum level and there will be an increase in noise.

Round pipes:

We recommend Internal diameter: 125 mm (at least 100 mm).

☐ Flat ducts must have an internal cross-section that equates to that of round pipes.

There should be no sharp bends.

∅ 100 mm approx. 78 cm

∅ 125 mm approx. 113 cm

☐ If pipes have different diameters: Insert sealing strip.
☐ For exhaust-air mode, ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air.

Connecting a 125 mm exhaust-air pipe:

☐ Mount the pipe directly onto the air outlet on the hood.

Connecting a 100 mm exhaust-air pipe:

☐ Attach the reducing connector (enclosed or available from specialist retailer) to the air pipe and then attach to the exhaust-air duct.
