INSTALLATION OF THE EVERDURE RBES67 & RBES97 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 600mm away from an electric cooktop, or 650mm
minimum from 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.
Screw the one way valve in position at the top of the body (4 x 8mm bolts) & fit the exhaust tube to the one
way valve (see figures 2 & 3).
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.

CLEANING
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Before cleaning your range hood or performing any maintenance, please ensure that the range hood is
turned off at the power point.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the range hood. The use of warm soapy water and a cloth are
recommended.
Ensure that the range hood is cleaned regularly, as a build up of grease and fat may occur otherwise.
The filters on the range hood must be cleaned regularly to maintain efficiency, and prevent grease build up.
The filter mesh is made of a high density Stainless Steel. It is recommended that this is undertaken every 4 –
6 weeks, depending on frequency of use.
The filters can be cleaned with warm soapy water or a cloth, or they may be washed in a dishwasher. If
washed in a dishwasher, discolouration may occur to the mesh and frame.
Carbon filters (recycling only) should be replaced every 4-6 weeks. These clip on & off the sides of the motor.
Cleaning of the range hood must be performed as described above, otherwise there is a possibility of a fire
hazard due to grease and fat build up.
