INSTALLATION
WARNING: THESE PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL OR
WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.
GENERAL:
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 - Latest Edition. Canadian installation must comply with CAN/CGA-B 149.1 Natural Gas
Installation Code, Code CAN/CGA-B 149.2 Propane Installation Code.
These models are design certified for operation on Natural or Propane gases.
The appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped. All Southbend equipment
is adjusted at the factory.
NOTE: Check type of gas on serial plate.
Models: SCB-Series - serial plate located left front comer on bottom inside lower compartment.
Models: SCBC-Series - remove front control panel. Serial plate attached in the center on the compartment
front shield to unit.
NOTE: Each SCB-Series Broiler is a complete unit with an individual W NPT manifold across its entire width.
Units can be batteried by joining the unions at the ends of the manifolds. This manifold is not equipped
directly with a pressure regulator. However, the manifold must be connected with an adequately sized gas
appliance pressure regulator adjusted to supply a pressure to this manifold as marked on the serial plate; 6"
W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane gas. In addition, the pressure regulator must meet the
following requirements:
1. The pressure regulator installed should be certified by a nationally recognized testing agency.
2. The regulator must have a maximum regulation capacity for the total connected load.
3. The regulator must have a pressure adjustment range to allow adjustment to the manifold pressure on the
appliance rating plate.
4. Unless the manifold pressure of all connected appliances is the same, a separate regulator must be supplied
for each unit(s) to indicate unit or units having differing manifold pressures.
5. 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 Z23.1 Latest Edition. Canadian installation must comply with CAN/CGA-B 149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code,
Code CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for
satisfactory performance. A steady supply pressure, between 7" W.C. and 8" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C.
and 12" W.C. for propane gas is recommended. With all units operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on
all units should not show any appreciable drop. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural and 10% on propane
gas will create pilot problems and affect burner operating characteristics. Contact your gas company for correct
supply line sizes.
As an option, the unit may be supplied with a rear gas connection. The pipe size of this connection is one inch.
Unless otherwise specified, this connection is welded to the right side of the manifold.
NOTE: Each SCBC-Series Counter Broiler is a complete unit with an individual ¾” NPT supply connection at
the rear. An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas
required for satisfactory performance. A pressure regulator, which is provided with each unit, is set to maintain
a 4" W.C. manifold pressure for natural gas and a 10" W.C. manifold pressure for propane gas. However, to
maintain these conditions the pressure on the supply line, when all units are operating simultaneously, should
not drop below 7" W.C. for natural gas or 11” W.C. for propane gas.
A 1/8” pressure tap is located on the manifold of each unit.
All pipe joints should be tested for leaks with a soap and water solution before operating the unit. The test
pressure should not exceed 14" W.C.
CAUTION: THIS 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 112 PSIG (3.45 kPa).
THIS 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 112 PSIG (3.45
kPa).

EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:
Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6" past appliance
and be located 6'6" from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the horizontal. This
prevents dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with a 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 vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any
appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the "OFF" position.
WALL EXHAUST FAN: Should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent opening at the top of the backsplash.
NOTE: Be sure to inspect and clean ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturers instructions.

Before turning main gas supply on, make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position.
All units are adjusted at the factory. On new installations start up with the top burner of the unites) furthest from
the gas input to the manifold. This will purge the system of air. Turn gas supply "ON."
1. Models:
A. Models: SCB-Series
Unit is set with each burner at 40,000 BTU/hour at the factory prior to shipment, and should bum
reasonably close to the desired flame. Natural gas manifold pressure is 6" W.C. Propane gas manifold
pressure is 10" W.C.
B. Models: SCBC-Series
Unit is set with each burner at 40,000 BTU/hour at the factory prior to shipment, and should bum
reasonably close to the desired flame. Natural gas manifold pressure is 4" W.C. Propane gas manifold
pressure is 10" W.C.
C. Models: SCBC-Series with suffixes A, AR
Unit is set with each burner at 36,000 BTU/hour at the factory prior to shipment, and should burn
reasonably close to the desired flame. Natural gas manifold pressure is 4" W.C. Propane gas manifold
pressure is 10" W.C.
2. Pilot Lighting Instructions:
A. Set pilot valve with screwdriver to provide ½” flame by turning counterclockwise.
B. Light each pilot with match or taper.
C. Turn desired burner valve "ON."
D. To shut down, turn burner valve to "OFF." If pilot shutdown is desired, turn pilot valve(s) clockwise until
tight.
E. Do not attempt to relight for 5 minutes after shutdown.
3. The main burner flame should be 1" to 1 ½” high on natural gas and approximately ½” to 5/8” on propane
gas. Air can be adjusted by opening or closing air shutter slightly. See "ADJUSTMENTS."
4. Reinstall grate support, drip shield, grates and ceramics or on radiant model the radiants. On ceramic models
make sure ceramics are placed at random, not more than one layer thick, and with grates covered as
completely as possible. Turn flames on full for 15-20 minutes; bottom of ceramics should glow red. Once
preheated, the low valve setting should maintain cooking temperatures.

OPERATION
5. Putting Broiler Into Use:
A. Heating — Be sure all standing pilots are lit. Turn on the number of burners desired to the full "ON" position. After
15-20 minutes flame can be turned back to maintain enough heat to keep the bottom of the coals or radiants hot.
These ceramic coals or radiants will be at broiling temperature throughout, giving off the radiant heat which is so
necessary to provide fast broiling.
B. Adjustment of Top Broiler Grid — To tilt, pull upon the back of the grid to place it in the tilt position. Normal
broiling position is the tilted position, and we recommend that this be used most of the time. The tilt angle allows the
fats rendered off during broiling of steaks, chops and hamburgers to run off into grease trough, thus eliminating
excess flaring of fats and accompanying smoke. The flat position should be used for heating on the top, or for continuous hot dog or sausage work. Fats dripping down into the fire will burn up on the meat and help to give it that
"special" flavor that is not only desirable but should occur. Steaks and chops, being fattier than other meats, will
naturally have the most flaring up. The angle will drain off sufficient fats to eliminate severe flares while providing
desirable broiling results.
C. Broiling:
Once the fire is hot enough, put your steak on the broiler. .. make sure both sides of the steak are seared to retain
maximum juice. This fast cooking is one of the secrets of successful steak broiling and gives your steaks that special
"outdoor" flavor. A 1 "-thick, rare steak should take approximately 8 minutes; adjust your timing according to
thickness of steak and amount of doneness required.
The Char Broiler is designed so that the rear 2/3 of the broiler grid is much hotter than the front 1/3. Use this to your
advantage — broil rare meats at the back quickly; medium and well-done meats close to the front, more slowly.
Remember, to cook meat properly you must have two essential things: Time and Heat — your Char Broiler gives
you a choice of heat intensity — you choose your own timing.
If you have several steaks to be finished in different degrees of doneness, move the finished rare steaks to the very
front where they will stay warm without cooking while medium and well-done steaks are finishing.
These suggestions apply equally to other food products. We sincerely hope that this information will be helpful to
you in the successful and profitable use of your broiler, and we are happy to have this opportunity of serving you.

WARNING:
ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICE WORK MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUAU. FIED
TECHNICIAN WHO IS EXPERIENCED IN, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH, THE
OPERATION OF COMMERCIAL GAS COOKING EQUIPMENT. HOWEVER, TO ASSURE
YOUR CONFIDENCE, CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY FOR RELIABLE
SERVICE, DEPENDABLE ADVICE OR OTHER ASSISTANCES, AND FOR GENUINE
FACTORY PARTS.
CLEANING BROILER TOP GRID:
Daily — Brush regularly with a wire brush followed by wiping with a cloth, to prevent accumulation of carbon.
The grids should be cleaned regularly since this is where the rendered fat from the broiling operation runs off. If
accumulation of carbon develops here, the fats will drip from the points of carbon instead of running all the way
down to the end of the grid into the grease trough. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be
maintained in good condition, and cleaned daily. Naturally, the periods for this care and cleaning depend on the
amount and degree of usage.
Weekly — The grid should be removed at least weekly and scrubbed thoroughly. Done regularly this is an easy
job, but if neglected strong methods must be used to get it clean.
CLEANING CAST-IRON GRATES AND CERAMIC COALS:
(MODELS WITHOUT R SUFFIX)
The cast-iron grates receive the greatest amount of wear due to the extreme heat required for char broiling. Tb
insure longest possible life, coals and grates should be removed every few days, clinkers removed, and grates
brushed.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERLOAD WITH COALS - ONE LAYER PLACED AT RANDOM IS
SUFFICIENT.
When grates become too badly warped they should be replaced.
CLEANING RADIANTS: (MODELS WITH R SUFFIX)
The radiants receive a great amount of wear due to excessive heat and drippings from cooking. Clean the radiants
every few days by placing in dishwasher.
CLEANING BURNERS:
Burners should be cleaned weekly. Remove and clean with wire brush. If burner ports are clogged, ream with stiff
wire. Due to intense heat it's possible burners will warp. Warped burners should be replaced immediately.
CLEANING CRUMB TRAY AND GREASE PAN:
There are 2 pans in the bottom of the unit. One is to catch grease (in the far left-hand comer of the broiler) and the
other is to catch crumb drippings from the broiler. The large pan, or crumb tray, should be removed every couple
of days and washed thoroughly. The small pan, or grease drawer, should be removed frequently to empty
accumulated grease and avoid overflow. This should be done while warm so that the grease is in a liquid state. The
shield over the grease protects it from the intense radiant heat, avoiding a fire hazard. When these pans are out it's
a good idea to wipe out the interior of the unit with a warm soapy cloth to prevent grease and carbonization
buildup. As with anything else, proper care, maintenance and cleaning will add months and years to the life of the
equipment, and eliminate costly delays because of breakdown.

MAINTENANCE
GRIDDLES:
New griddles should be carefully tempered and maintained to avoid possible cracking and/or warping. To break in a new
griddle, first wipe it clean. Next, light all the griddle burners and turn them low for one hour. Then, gradually bring griddle to
frying temperature. Next, spread three or four ounces of beef suet or, as a substitute baking soda, to season it. Never allow
water on a hot griddle and never wash it with soap and water.
Use a Norton Alundum Griddle Brick to clean griddle. Always remember to heat griddle slowly because quick heat may cause
costly damage. Griddle plates cannot be guaranteed against damage due to carelessness. Never place utensils on griddle. Do not
overheat griddle above 550°F, as this will cause warpage or breakage.
Do not use any type of steel wool. Small particles may be left on the surface and get into food products.
WARNING:
DO NOT CLEAN SPATULA BY HITTING THE EDGE ON THE GRIDDLE PLATE. SUCH
ACTION WILL ONLY CUT AND PIT THE GRIDDLE PLATE, LEAVING IT ROUGH AND
HARD TO CLEAN.

To remove grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors, that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a
damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing
cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel.
NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above
procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS
scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will rust and further
spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT
STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more
rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing
may then be required.
To Remove Heat Tint: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the
stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not
respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines using SCOTCH-BRITE
scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be
lessened by not applying, or by reducing, heat to equipment during slack periods.
