GAS SUPPLY
The serial plate is located inside the lower front panel. It indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn. All
Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.
These models are design-certied for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the regulator is set to
deliver a 4.0” W.C. pressure to the manifold. For propane gas, it is set to deliver 11” W.C.
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors in accordance with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable.
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
A 3/4” NPT line is provided at the rear for the gas connection. An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low
pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. Fluctuations of more than 25% on
natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems and affect burner operating characteristics.
An adequate gas supply line to the unit should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe from the unit to which it
is connected.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
All pipe joints and connections must be tested thoroughly for gas leaks. Use only soapy water for testing on all gases.
NEVER use an open ame to check for gas leaks. All connections must be checked for leaks after the unit has been put
into operation. Test pressure should not exceed 1/4” W.C.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES
WARNING
There must be adequate clearance between the left side of the ovens and combustible construction..
Minimum Clearance from
Combusble Construction
Back0”0”
Right Side0”0”
Left Side2”0”
Floor0”0”
Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle to allow the doors to open sufciently to permit the removal of the
racks and for serviceability.
Although no clearance is required behind the motor on the rear of the oven, care must be taken to provide adequate
air circulation to prevent the motor from overheating.
Do not locate the oven adjacent to any high heat or grease-producing piece of equipment, such as a range top,
griddle, fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior temperature of the oven above 130°F (54°C).
DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.
Minimum Clearance from
Non-Combustible Construction
VENTILATION
WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove ue products can
cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the ow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front or rear of the unit as combustion air
enters through these areas.
Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTICE
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the
warranty.
If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that a canopy extend 6” past the appliance and that the bottom edge be
located 6’6” from the oor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This position prevents
dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, unusually installed with a lter.
If an exhaust fan is used, it should be installed at least 2” above the ue opening at the top of the unit. A strong exhaust
fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance. Fresh air openings approximately
equal to the fan area will relieve such a vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the
appliance with the exhaust fan in the “OFF” position. Do this only long enough to check equipment performance. Then
turn the exhaust fan back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
If the oven ue is connected directly to an outside ue, a CSA International design certied down draft diverter must be
installed at the ue outlet of the oven and connected to the outside ue.

STEP 1: UNPACKING
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed
responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a claim
must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be signed
by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier can supply
the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss that is not
apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all contents
plus all packing material.
1. Cut banding straps and remove packing material.
2. Cut banding strap holding oven to wooden skid.
3. If you are installing a single-deck oven, go to Step 2a.
If you are installing a double-deck oven, go to Step 2b.

STEP 2A: INSTALLATION OF LEGS ON SINGLE-DECK-OVENS
1. Raise oven sufciently to allow clearance for the legs to be attached. Use of a lift truck or other mechanical lifting
means is recommended. For safety, “shore up” and support the oven with an adequate blocking arrangement strong
enough to support the load. (If it is absolutely necessary to rest the oven on its side, rest it on its left side or back
side. Take care to protect the nish on the left side, and to prevent the weight from resting on the motor on the back.)
2. Attach the legs to the bottom corners of the oven using the provided machine screws, at washers, and lock washers.
Each leg is secured by ve screws. The mounting holes are pre-drilled and threaded.
3. Screw into the bottom of each leg either an adjustable foot or a caster (depending on which option was ordered). If
attaching casters, the two casters with brakes should be attached to the front legs.
4. Lower the oven gently onto a level surface. Never drop or allow the oven to fall.
5. Use a level to make sure that the oven is level. The adjustable feet can be screwed in or out to lower or raise each
corner of the oven.
6. If casters were installed, go to Installation Step 3. Otherwise go to Step 4.

member for adequate clearance, drill a 1/4” hole through the frame member.
3. Thread hex nut (item “G”) and slide the washer (item “H”) onto the eye-bolt. Insert the eye-bolt through the 1/4” drilled
hole and secure with a washer (item “H”) and nylon lock nut (item “I”).
4. Using the spring-loaded snap hooks, attach the restraining device to the bracket and the eye-bolt.
5. Using the cable clamp (item “D”), adjust the restraining device extended length to prevent over-bending or kinking of
the appliance connector.
For units not equipped with ame safety devices, be sure all valves are turned off prior to disconnecting. After
reconnecting, be sure that the oven is switched OFF.
INSTALLATION
STEP 4: STACK DOUBLE-DECK OVEN (F NECESSARY)
Double-deck ovens can be shipped already assembled, but can instead be shipped as two single-deck ovens to be
stacked in the eld. Also, ovens that were originally ordered as single ovens can be stacked in the eld (additional parts
are required). This installation step describes the procedure for stacking two single-deck ovens to form a double-deck
oven.
1. Uncrate the two ovens. Identify the oven that will be the lower oven (it will be the oven with leg pads attached to the
bottom corners). Attach the legs (or casters) to the lower oven as described in Step 2c.
2. If the oven that will be the top oven was NOT ordered as part of a double-deck oven, remove the four leg pads from
the bottom of the top oven.
3. Locate and remove the four screws that secure the lower front panel (items “A” in the drawing below). Lift up the
panel and pull it forward to remove it, then set it aside.
4. Locate and remove the six screws that secure the right side panel to the oven (items “B” in the drawing below).
