Installation Instructions

Please ensure that before installing the range hood, all power is switched off. Installation must be in accordance to the local electrical authority and codes. This range hood must be earthed at all times for the operators' safety. The switched power outlet for the range hood should be positioned to enable the user to turn the power off, to enable cleaning and any maintenance required. The switched power outlet should be installed within 600mm from the rear of the unit. Ensure that when installing the range hood, that it is protected from any possible damage from tools etc. Ducting for this unit must be installed in accordance to the local authority. Ensure that the fixings used for this range hood are suitable. Check the area where the range hood is to be fitted, to ensure that it is structurally sound.

The Everdure RBES691 & RBES991 range hoods are intended to be installed directly onto a wall.

NOTE: Everdure recommends these appliances are installed as ducted appliances. If they are installed as recycling appliances (venting air back into the room through the ducts in the flue), do not use the exhaust tube, leave a small gap at the top or behind the flue to allow more airflow & always use the correct charcoal filters (CF 110), which must be replaced every 4-6 weeks.

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).

Step 1: 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 with three (3) 40mm screws. Place the hood main unit onto the hooks.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: Fit the exhaust tube to the one way valve and secure with a supplied cable tie.

Step 4: 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). Place the u-shaped section onto the main unit and fix in place with two (2) 8mm screws.

Step 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.

Step 6: Calculate the final height of the u-shaped section and pull out the inside u-shaped section to a suitable height 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.

Step 7: 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. 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.

Diagram showing correct and incorrect installation: The 'Right' installation shows the range hood level and properly supported. The 'Wrong' installation shows the hood tilted or improperly fitted, which can lead to grease and oil buildup and unit damage.

3. Pull out the LED globe and replace with the same rating and type of globe. Align the globe pins into the holes in the holder, press in slightly and turn clockwise.

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.

Troubleshooting

NOTE: Any electrical repairs to this appliance must conform to your local, state and federal laws. Please contact the service centre if in any doubt before undertaking any of the above. Always disconnect the unit from the power source when opening the unit.
