Comfee Cooker Hood Instruction Manual
Models: CHW 7.6M77A3, CHW 7.9M77A3
Recommendations and Suggestions
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.
Installation
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
- Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
- For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
- Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
- The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
- The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood.
- When the range hood is located above a gas appliance, this distance shall be at least 65 cm. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. The distance of 65 cm can be reduced for:
- Non-combustible parts of range hoods, and
- Parts operating at safety extra low voltage provided these parts do not give access to live parts if deformed.
- Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
- This appliance is for indoor household use only.
- To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the unit, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
- Please unplug before cleaning and maintenance the appliance. Use a soft cloth moisten with mild soap, and then use a dry cloth to wipe it again.
Wall Drilling and Bracket Fixing
Vertical reference line: As a first step, proceed with the following drawings:
- A vertical line up to the ceiling or up to the upper limit, at the center of the area in which the hood is to be fitted.
- A horizontal line A at 970 ± 1070 mm above the cooker top.
- A horizontal line B at a 700 mm above the horizontal line A.
- A horizontal line C at a 243 mm below the horizontal line A.
Mark Points:
- Mark a point (1) on the horizontal line A, 80 mm to the vertical reference line. Repeat this operation on the other side and on the vertical reference line, checking that the three marks are leveled.
- Mark a point (2) on the horizontal line B, 60 mm to the vertical reference line. Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the two marks are on the same horizontal line.
- Mark a point (3) on the horizontal line C, 100 mm to the vertical reference line. Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the two marks are leveled.
Fix the brackets:
- Drill holes at the marked points with a 10 mm drill bit.
- Insert the Wall Plugs 11 into the holes.
- Fix the hood fixing bracket 20 with 3 screws 10 (5 x 50) at the horizontal line A.
- Fix a Chimney fixing bracket 21 with 2 screws 10 (5 x 50) at the horizontal line B.
Lower Decorative Chimney
Fix the exhaust pipe on the hood body, connect chimney and hood body with 2 screws 12. Connect chimney fixing bracket and chimney with 2 screws 12.
Hook the Hood Body
Hook the hood body to the bracket 20. Level the hood body itself. Remove the filter from the inside of the hood body, fix the screws 10 to Wall Plugs 11 at the points (3).
[Diagram showing correct vs. incorrect screw fixing]
Connections - Ducted Version Air Exhaust System
When installing the ducted version, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid pipe ⌀ 150 or ⌀ 120 mm, the choice of which is left to the installer.
- If to install a ⌀ 120 mm air exhaust connection, insert the reducer flange 3 on the hood body outlet.
- Fix the pipe 4 in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
- Remove possible charcoal filters.
Upper Decorative Chimney
Insert the upper decorative chimney 2.2 into the lower decorative chimney 2.1 and drag it up to the horizontal line B. Connect upper decorative chimney 2.2 and chimney fixing bracket 21 with 2 screws 12.
Use
The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
- Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
- Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation. Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
- Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
- Do not flame under the range hood. ⚠️
- This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been supervised or instructed concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the resulting hazards.
- Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
- ⚠️ CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
- Extension sockets are forbidden.
- Please cut off the power before maintenance.
- This appliance has been designed for home use only, and may cause danger if used in special occasions.

Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent. The appliance uses 4 hob elements at most.
Grease Filters
Cleaning Metal Self-Supporting Grease Filters
The filters must be cleaned every 2 months of operation, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage, and can be washed in a dishwasher.
- Remove the filters one by one pushing them towards the back side of the hood unit and simultaneously pulling downwards.
- Any kind of bending of the filters has to be avoided when washing them.
- Before fitting them again into the hood make sure that they are completely dry. (The color of the filter surface may change throughout the time but this has no influence on the filter efficiency).
- When fitting the filters into the hood pay attention that they are mounted in correct position with the handle facing outwards.
Activated Charcoal Filter (Recirculation Version)
These filters are not washable and cannot be regenerated, and must be replaced approximately every 4 months of operation, or more frequently with heavy usage.
Replacing the Activated Charcoal Filter
- Remove the metal grease filters.
- Remove the saturated activated charcoal filter.
- Fit the new filters.
- Replace the metal grease filters.
