Siemens Expands Matt Edition With First Matt Steam Drawer

Siemens is adding a first-ever steam drawer, three new ovens and ten hobs and extractor fans to its existing Matt Edition finish, the company said in a press release published 2 September 2026. The line itself launched last year; this announcement expands it rather than introducing it, and Siemens has not disclosed prices or on-sale dates for any of the new items.

The most notable addition is a compact steam drawer finished in what Siemens calls “velvety black” matt, only 14cm tall. It can sit directly beneath an oven or work as a stand-alone unit, and Siemens positions it for steaming vegetables, proving dough or reheating meals. It is the first steam drawer to appear in the Matt Edition finish since the range began.

What is new on the oven side?

Siemens is adding three named oven models. The iQ300 HB272ABM3 is, in Siemens’s own words, the first oven in its value segment to combine a matt door with a gloss control panel. It carries activeClean pyrolytic self-cleaning and an airFry mode with its own airFry tray for lower-fat cooking, bringing air-frying to a more accessible tier of the Matt Edition lineup.

Two iQ700 models sit above it: the HB776G1M1 and HB776GMM1. Both include the Siemens Cooking Assistant, which works through the Siemens Home Appliances app to advise on programme selection. The HB776GMM1 goes further with a “Roast Thermometer Plus”, a probe that tracks meat temperature at three separate points, so a cook does not need to open the door partway through cooking to check on a joint. Siemens’s own product-registration page confirms the HB776GMM1 is a genuine, currently listed iQ700 oven on its German site, not just a press-release name.

What is changing on hobs and extraction?

Siemens is adding ten matt hobs and recessed extractor fans in total. Two stand out. A new 70cm-wide non-reflective hob in a “blackSteel” design has an integrated extractor fan built in, and Siemens says its arrival means every standard hob width from 60cm to 90cm is now available in the matt finish, closing a gap in the existing lineup.

The second is a frameless iQ700 hob with “varioInduction Plus”, which extends a single induction zone to take cookware up to 30cm across. It pairs with a “Frying Sensor Pro” that holds a set temperature automatically. Siemens gives three reference points: 220C for potato pancakes, 140C for an omelette and 70C to melt butter without it burning. Siemens also markets the matt surface itself as scratch and fingerprint resistant, a practical claim for a finish that shows smudges more readily on a shiny worktop-level surface.

Matching inclined cooker hoods join the same finish, fitted with a “Long-life Clean Air Filter” that Siemens says resists pollen and fish odours. The filter can be refreshed in the oven up to three times, which Siemens claims extends its working life to roughly four times that of a conventional filter. That is Siemens’s own figure, not an independently verified one.

How far does the matt finish now reach?

Siemens describes the Matt Edition as now spanning “an AI oven, a compact oven, a steam cooker, a side-opening oven, a hob, or a fully automatic coffee machine”, covering nearly its full built-in range in one consistent finish. For a shopper planning a kitchen refit, that means the matt look can now realistically be carried across an entire appliance column rather than mixed with gloss or steel finishes on the pieces Siemens had not yet extended it to.

With no prices or availability dates confirmed, the practical step for now is to watch Siemens’s own ovens, hobs, extractor-hoods and coffee-machines pages for the HB272ABM3, HB776G1M1, HB776GMM1 and the new steam drawer to appear with confirmed specs and pricing, rather than relying on early retailer listings that may run ahead of an official launch.
