SPECIFICATIONS
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 must comply with all 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, including:
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).
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.
This product is intended for commercial use only, not for household use.
CLEARANCES
There must be adequate clearance between the broiler and adjacent construction due to the heat generated by the
broiler. Clearance must also be provided for servicing and for operation.
The minimum clearance from non-combustible construction is 1” on the sides and 3.75" on rear (to permit combustion
air to enter the rear of the broiler). To service the broiler components -all models require at least 6” accessibilityclearance on the right and left side.
Adequate clearance must be provided in front of the broiler for operation and cleaning.
The high-temperature flue products from the broiler burners flow out through a vented cover on top of the broiler.
Installation under a vented hood is recommended.
WARNING
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
The countertop model requires a minimum clearance from combustible surfaces of 1" on the sides and 3.75” on
rear.
The wall-mount model requires a minimum clearance from combustible surfaces of 1" on the sides and 3.75" on
the rear (which is provided by the wall-mounting bracket).
The range-mount model, to follow range minimum clearance from combustible surfaces of 6" on the sides and
rear.

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.
The flue vent, located at the top of the unit, must not be blocked or covered at any time.
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.
NOTICE
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the
warranty.
Do not obstruct the front of the broiler since combustion air enters through this area. Be sure to inspect and clean
the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that the canopy extend 6" past the broiler 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 run-off grease in a drip pan under the filter.
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 vent opening on the top of the broiler.
If the broiler 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.
GAS SUPPLY
The broiler is design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases. The broiler is shipped configured and
adjusted for the type of gas specified by the purchaser, which is indicated on the serial plate (see Figure 1 on page 3).
Connect the broiler ONLY to the type of gas for which it is configured and adjusted.

Gas Type Total BTU/hour Burner Orifice Pilot Orifice Min. Supply Pressure Manifold Pressure

A model that mounts on the flue riser of a range will have a 3/8" rear gas connection (with a 3/8" male NPT connector)
extending through the rear of the flue riser (see Figure 2 on page 5).
Wall-mount and countertop models will have a 3/8” rear gas connection (with a 3/8” male NPT connector). The gas
connection can extend directly out the rear of the broiler (near the bottom right-rear corner).
Minimum supply pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas, 11" W.C. for propane. An internal pressure regulator and shutoff
valve are provided. If using a flexible-hose gas connection, the I.D. of the hose must not be smaller than the
connector on the broiler, and must comply with ANSI Z21.69. Provide an adequate means of restraint to prevent
undue strain on the gas connection. Test pressure should not exceed 14" W.C.
PAGE 6 OF 24 INSTALLATION & OPERATIONS MANUAL 1186527 REV 3 (12/06)
INFRARED/RADIANT COMPACT BROILER CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator must 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.
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 broiler should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe on the broiler to
which it is connected.

OPERATION
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shutoff valve. Immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
CAUTION
If the broiler pilots should go out the flow of gas to the broiler burners is NOT interrupted. Consequently, it is the
responsibility of the operator to check the ignition of the burners immediately EVERY TIME the broiler is turned on.
Should ignition fail after 10 seconds, turn off burners, wait 5 minutes, and then try again.
NOTICE
Southbend infrared broilers cook food in about half the time of conventional broilers, so adjust cooking times.
Southbend infrared broilers are unique in design. They incorporate our exclusive ceramic tile burners, which generate
infrared rays that provide better quality products in about one-half the usual broiling time, and with less gas input than
ordinary broilers. Very little energy is wasted in heating secondary surfaces, which is necessary for conventional-type
broilers.
Since the surface of the ceramic tiles becomes red hot in less than one-half minute, the broiler is ready to start broiling
with a very short preheat time, thereby saving time, labor and energy. These glowing surfaces emit intense infrared
rays, which are transmitted directly onto the product, thereby yielding better tasting broiled food in less time.
The broiler design supplies 100% clean primary air to the burners, ensuring efficient combustion and maintaining full
production capacity and maximum recovery, even in the most severe conditions of grease vapors and smoke
atmospheres, which are created during any broiling process.
Southbend infrared broilers provide such rapid speed and recovery that broiling techniques may require
some modification in order to take full advantage of their productive capabilities.
Southbend Radiant broilers offer durable stainless steel Radiants with anti corrosive steel tube burners. Flame from
the burners are distributed over Radiant plates providing a penetrating heat suitable for broiling or finishing delicate
dishes
The location of the broiler controls and other components are shown in Figure 3 on the following page.
