Yes, this hood is specifically designed for 60cm hobs. At 598mm wide, it will cover your cooking area effectively and look proportionate above standard 60cm gas or electric hobs. If you have a 70cm or 90cm hob, you would need a wider hood for optimal extraction.

Ducting mode extracts air directly outside through external ducting. This is the most effective method as it removes 100% of cooking fumes from your home. Recirculating mode filters the air through carbon filters and returns it to the kitchen—ideal for flats or kitchens without external wall access. Both modes work well; ducting is more effective, recirculating is more flexible for installation.

Yes! This hood includes 2× CF04 carbon filters (worth £25+) ready for recirculating use straight out of the box. For ducting mode, simply don’t install the carbon filters. Replacement filters (CF04) should be changed every 3-4 months in recirculating mode for optimal odour removal.

For safety and effectiveness: Minimum 650mm above an electric hob, minimum 750mm above a gas hob. These are the manufacturer’s recommended safe distances. The adjustable chimney (610-850mm range) allows you to achieve the correct height in most kitchens.

The 5-layer aluminium grease filters are dishwasher-safe. Simply remove them (they click out easily), place in your dishwasher, and run a normal cycle. Alternatively, wash by hand in warm soapy water. Clean every 2-4 weeks depending on cooking frequency. Regular cleaning maintains the 95% grease removal efficiency.

A++ is the highest energy efficiency rating for cooker hoods. It means this hood uses 52% less electricity than a standard Class A hood. While cooker hoods don’t use massive amounts of power, over years of daily use the savings add up. The efficient motor also tends to run quieter and last longer.

Basic DIY skills are sufficient for mounting the hood to the wall—COMFEE provides a detailed installation video. However, electrical connection must be done by a qualified electrician (legal requirement in the UK for fixed kitchen appliances). If you’re using ducting mode, you’ll also need to create or connect to an external vent, which may require a builder.
