NOTICE
Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association, Inc., states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.
Southbend reserves the right to change specifications and product design without notice. Such revisions do not entitle the buyer to corresponding changes, additions, or replacements for previously purchased equipment.
Southbend appliances are intended for commercial use only, not for household use.
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code,
1.The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
2.The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
CLEARANCES
WARNING
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
There must be adequate clearance between the sectional range and combustible construction. Clearance must also be provided for servicing and for operation.

Sectional charbroilers and sectional wood smokers are NOT recommended for installation next to combustible materials
* Models with 6" legs or casters are suitable for installation on combustible floors.
Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle in front of the unit to permit operation (including opening of doors and/or removal of grease drawers, drippings trays, and/or oven racks), as well as for servicing. No additional clearance is required for servicing as the sectional range is serviceable from the front.
Models with a

The
Salamander broilers and cheese melters mounted on the flue riser of a sectional range may require additional minimum clearances (see the documentation for those appliances).

VENTILATION
WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove flue products can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
All gas appliances must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the area under the control panel or below the oven door (on the front), or the area below the flue riser (on the back) as combustion air enters through these areas.
NOTICE
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the warranty.
Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Air for combustion enters from the front below the valve panel, as well as from the rear into the burner box. Ranges with solid tops (griddles and
Lack of sufficient ventilation will cause poor burner and pilot operating characteristics, resulting in inefficient performance. Such conditions also cause high ambient temperatures at the manifold area and create valve and thermostat problems.
If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that the canopy extend 6" past the sectional range and that the bottom edge be located 6'6" from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This position prevents dripping grease, and facilitates collecting the
A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames. Fresh air openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such a vacuum. The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2" above the top of the flue riser.
If the sectional range is connected directly to an outside flue, a CSA design certified down draft diverter must be installed.
In case of unsatisfactory performance by any gas appliance, check the appliance with the exhaust fan turned OFF. Do this only long enough to check whether doing so corrects any problems with equipment performance. Then turn the exhaust fan back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
GASSUPPLY
The sectional range is
Each section has a
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,
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. A 1/8" pressure tap is located on the manifold to measure the manifold pressure. The supply line to the sectional range should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe on the sectional range to which it is connected.
