Comfee Cooker Hood Instruction Manual

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.

• Minimum distance between the supporting surface for cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood: At least 65 cm for gas appliances. This distance can be reduced for non-combustible parts or parts operating at safety extra low voltage, provided they do not give access to live parts if deformed. Consult gas hob installation instructions for specific requirements.
• Verify that the mains voltage corresponds to the rating plate on the hood.
• For Class I appliances, ensure the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue using a pipe of minimum diameter 120mm. Keep the flue route as short as possible.
• Do not discharge air into a flue used for exhausting fumes from gas or other fuel appliances.
• If the extractor is used with non-electrical appliances (e.g., gas burning appliances), ensure sufficient room aeration to prevent backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air for clean air entry.
• When used with appliances powered by energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
• Regulations concerning air discharge must be fulfilled.

Use

• The cooker hood is for home use only, not suitable for commercial purposes like barbecues or roast shops.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than its design.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood during operation.
• Adjust flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, ensuring 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; risk of fire.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or instructed on safe use and understand the hazards.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
• CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

Dimensions

Dimensions are in millimeters (mm).

Diagram Description: A top-down view of the hood shows dimensions 225mm and 172mm. A side view shows the hood body with a height of 179mm and a width of 448mm. There are two minimum distance indicators: "Min. 650mm" for gas appliances and "Min. 650mm" for electric appliances, indicating the required clearance above the hob.

A detailed diagram shows the chimney structure with various measurements. A table lists installation options:

Installation

Wall Drilling and Bracket Fixing

Diagram Description: Illustrates the process of marking points on the wall for bracket installation. It shows a vertical reference line and horizontal lines A, B, and C at specified distances. Points (1), (2), and (3) are marked on these lines. A table shows 'Option' and corresponding 'Chimney' and 'X' dimensions.

Installation Steps:

1. Draw a vertical line up to the ceiling at the center of the installation area.
2. Draw a horizontal line A at 835-935 mm above the cooker top.
3. Draw a horizontal line B at a distance 'X' mm above line A.
4. Draw a horizontal line C at 116 mm below line A.

Mark Points:

• Mark point (1) on line A, 80 mm from the vertical reference line. Repeat on the other side, ensuring marks are level.
• Mark point (2) on line B, 40 mm from the vertical reference line. Repeat on the other side, ensuring marks are level.
• Mark point (3) on line C, 155 mm from the vertical reference line. Repeat on the other side, ensuring marks are level.

Fix the Brackets (Optional)

• Drill holes at the marked points using a 10 mm drill bit.
• Insert Wall Plugs 11 into the holes.
• Screw 2 screws 10 (5 x 50) into Wall Plugs 11 at horizontal line A. Approximately four-fifths of the screw length should be inserted. These screws are used to hook the hood.
• Fix a Chimney fixing bracket 21 with 2 screws 10 (5x50) at horizontal line B.

Hook the Hood Body

• Hook the hood body to the 2 screws 10 (5 x 50) at horizontal line A.

Troubleshooting

Disposal of Old Electrical Appliances

The European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately to optimize recovery and recycling of materials, reducing impact on human health and the environment.

The ♻️ (crossed out wheeled bin) on the product reminds you of your obligation for separate collection when disposing of the appliance.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
