EASY DECISION
INSTALLATION OF THE EVERDURE RBES691 & RBES991 RANGE HOODS DIRECTLY TO A WALL
Ensure that the wall is structurally sound, and is capable of carrying the weight of the range hood.
The range hood can be placed at a minimum of 650mm from an electric cooktop or a gas cooktop. The unit is held
to a wall via 3 brackets (supplied with the unit):
1)
Hook Bracket. 2) Centre Bracket (flat). 3) Top Bracket (U-shaped).
Place the hood main unit (no u-shaped section) against the wall at the correct position and mark off the top edge of
the unit. Remove the unit and measure up 22mm to get the top level for the hook bracket. Place the hook bracket
(hooks up) under the mark and mark in the 3 screw holes. Remove the bracket and drill three (3) Ø8mm holes
100mm apart. Insert plastic plugs into the holes and fix the hook bracket onto the wall (see figure 1) with three (3)
40mm screws. Place the hood main unit onto the hooks.
If the position is correct, mark out the positions for the safety screw holes (through the back of the unit), and remove
the hood body. Drill two (2) Ø8mm holes and fit in two (2) plastic plugs.
Fit the exhaust tube to the one way valve (see figures 2 & 3) and secure with a supplied cable tie.
Fit the u-shaped sections together & screw the centre bracket onto the back of the outer u-shaped section using the
supplied 8mm screws (this helps keep the width at the back even with the front) (see figure 4). Place the u-shaped
section onto the main unit and fix in place with two (2) 8mm screws (see figure 5).
Hook the main unit with the u-shaped sections back onto the wall. Mark the positions of the 2 holes needed to fix
the centre bracket to the wall & remove the assembly. Drill two (2) Ø8mm holes and fit in two (2) plastic plugs.
Place the assembly back on the hooks. Fix the centre bracket to the wall with two (2) 40mm screws and fix the body
to the wall with the 30mm screws (through the back of the main unit). Run the loose end of the exhaust tube
outside.
Calculate the final height of the u-shaped section and pull out the inside u-shaped section to a suitable height (see
figure 5) to check. Mark the 2 sides near the top and push the inner section out of the way. Place the top bracket
(slots to the bottom) centred between the 2 marks, mark the 2 screw holes. Remove the bracket and drill two (2)
Ø8mm holes at the marks. Insert plastic plugs into the holes and fix the hook bracket onto the wall (slightly loose)
using 40mm screws.
Pull up the inside u-section to allocate the top bracket correctly, and tighten the screws holding the bracket. Pull
the u-section over the bracket completely and fix into place with 2 screws at the sides (see figure 7). Note: The top
edge of the u-shaped bracket matches the top edge of the u-shaped section – adjust according to your own needs.
For timber framed houses, special care should be taken that all brackets are attached to areas that will support the
weight of the range hood.
NOTE: Remove all protective plastic coatings from the stainless steel surfaces before use.
