SIEMENS LJ97BDP60 iQ500
SIEMENS LJ97BDP60 iQ500 cooker hood
The SIEMENS LJ97BDP60 iQ500 is a built-in cooker hood (90cm) designed for modern kitchens that value both a clean design and cutting-edge functionality. When not in use, the glass panel elegantly folds away into the cabinet, making the hood almost invisible. During cooking, it extends to improve steam capture and protect the upper cabinets. The matte black finish with black glass looks premium while reducing the visibility of fingerprints. The iQdrive motor ensures quiet yet powerful operation, and thanks to intelligent hood automatic, the extraction level adapts to the hob's settings (when compatible and paired via Home Connect).

Seamless integration
The built-in design creates a uniform kitchen look without a dominant cooker hood. The SIEMENS LJ97BDP60 iQ500 mounts into the upper cabinet and, thanks to its folding panel, remains discreet when not in use. During cooking, the panel extends and the hood operates exactly when needed – without disrupting the overall aesthetic of the kitchen.
Maximum storage space
The T-shaped construction is not just a design element – it also brings practical value. You can store up to 10kg on each side, so spices, cookbooks, or commonly used utensils can be kept close at hand, making the cabinet above the hob more efficient.
Matte finish and black glass
The matte black finish enhances modern minimalism and helps to reduce the visibility of fingerprints. The black glass adds a premium feel and is also easy to maintain – the result is an elegant look that complements contemporary kitchen trends and stays looking neat over time.
Intelligent hood automatic
The intelligent hood automatic function enhances cooking convenience: the hood activates automatically when you start cooking and continuously adjusts its power level according to the hob's settings. In practice, this means less manual adjustment and consistently cleaner air in the kitchen. With compatible hobs, the automation works seamlessly; for other setups, control can be managed via Home Connect after pairing the devices.
iQdrive motor
With the iQdrive motor, powerful performance and low noise go hand in hand. The hood quickly removes steam and odours without being disruptive, so cooking remains a pleasant experience, even during longer preparations when you want to chat, listen to music, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet in your kitchen.
Glass panel
The glass panel is both a design and a functional element. By extending, it helps to better capture steam and protects the upper cabinets from grease. With the SIEMENS LJ97BDP60 iQ500, extending the panel also automatically activates the extraction and lighting, simplifying the entire process into one smooth gesture. The controls are integrated directly into the panel, which supports a clean look and convenient operation.
Maximum flexibility
The design is engineered to adapt to various cabinet and shelf configurations. An optional chimney extension (accessory) helps to harmonise the installation even with taller cabinets, and the solution is also suitable for modern kitchens with handleless fronts.
Convenient installation
Thoughtful mounting elements simplify installation and save time. The cooker hood is designed for a straightforward assembly process that can be managed by just one person, with fewer components and a clearer assembly logic.
Home Connect
Connecting to Home Connect gives the SIEMENS LJ97BDP60 iQ500 another level of convenience: manage functions and settings, get an overview of filter status, receive maintenance alerts, and use smart scenarios. The connectivity also forms the basis for automatic functions linked to the hob.
voiceControl
Within the Home Connect ecosystem, the cooker hood can also be operated by voice (subject to local availability and compatibility). This is particularly practical when your hands are full while cooking – adjusting the power or controlling the light is then just a matter of a moment.
Filter saturation indicator
The Home Connect app gives you an overview of the status of both the grease and carbon filters, and can remind you when it's time to clean, replace or regenerate them. This ensures the cooker hood maintains its performance over the long term and your kitchen stays fresh.
Remote control and remote diagnostics
Home Connect enables remote monitoring and management of the cooker hood, including notifications. In case of any issues, remote diagnostics can be practical – it simplifies fault identification and any necessary service intervention.
LED lighting with adjustable light temperature
The LED lighting provides a clear view of the hob while also helping to create the right atmosphere in your kitchen. On selected settings, you can change the light temperature (from warmer to cooler), so you can adapt the lighting to the time of day and your cooking style.
touchControl
The touch controls on the glass panel are fast, precise and easy to clean. With a light touch, you can set the extraction power, lighting and selected functions, without unnecessary switches and with an immediate response.
Favourite button
The Favourite button lets you assign a selected function or scenario and activate it with a single touch – for example, a preferred setting or a smart home integration (when linked via Home Connect).
Intensive setting with automatic reset
For moments when the steam really builds up, there's an intensive mode. The cooker hood temporarily boosts its power and automatically returns to the previous setting after the peak has passed – no need to remember to switch it back manually.
Easy cleaning
Smooth surfaces without unnecessary crevices and an elegant glass panel make routine maintenance simple. The design minimises places where grease can build up, and access for maintenance is designed to be as convenient as possible.
Dual filter system
In recirculation mode, an efficient dual-filtration system is at work: a metal filter captures coarse grease, while the Clean Air carbon filter (part of the recirculation kit – accessory) helps with odours and finer particles. The filter can be regenerated and has a long lifespan, which reduces costs and hassle.
Spare parts available for 15 years
Long-term sustainability and service assurance are among the main advantages. Spare parts for large home appliances are typically available for up to 15 years, supporting a long service life and worry-free operation.

What all do I need for recirculation?
You need a carbon (odor) filter and a recirculation kit, which includes a deflector and connecting ducts.
Can the hob be connected for recirculation?
Yes, hobs with integrated extraction can be adapted to work in recirculation mode.
Can I use a 60 cm hood over an 80 cm hob?
This isn't recommended — the hood should be at least as wide as the hob, ideally wider.
How long can the ducting be for external extraction?
Ideally no more than 4–5 meters, and each 90° bend effectively reduces the usable reach by about 1–1.5 meters.
Is a backdraft damper included in the package?
It depends on the model — included with some, sold separately for others.
Does the hood have a filter clean/replace alert?
Only certain, generally higher-end models offer this, with an indicator that shows when filters are saturated.
Is it possible to connect the hood with the hob?
Yes, as long as both appliances support the same wireless technology, Home Connect.
