WARNING: THESE PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED BY QUALIFIED
GENERAL:
THE UNIT, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL
CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION.
THE UNIT, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED AND COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODES, OR LN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANSFNFPA
70-LATEST EDITION.
CANADIAN INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH CAN/CGA-B149.1 NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION
CODE, CODE CAN/CGA-B 149.2 PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE, AND CSA C22.1 CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE PARTS I, OR LOCAL CODES.
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. Check type of gas on serial plate in the compartment behind the front panel, on inside
Right Lining.
NOTE: Each Counter Griddle is a complete unit with an individual 3/4" 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 of 11" W.C. for propane gas.
Counter Griddle units, a 3/4" NPT gas supply connection is located at the right side of rear, when you are facing rear of
the unit.
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-LATEST EDITION and
CANADIAN INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH CAN/CGA-B149.1 NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION
CODE, CODE CAN/CGA-B149.2 PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE. 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 THE SYSTEM AT TEST
PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 1/2 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 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa).
PERSONNEL OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.
INSTALLATION
EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:
An adequate ventilation system is required for the Southbend counter line. The minimum canopy hood dimensions are
outlined as follows:
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
negative pressure condition in the room and may interfere with burner performance, extinguish pilot flames, or
result in poor cooking performance.
To avoid a negative pressure condition, return air must be brought into the room to replenish the air being
removed by the ventilation hood.
This can be accomplished by one of two ways:
A. Return air may be introduced into the room through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
system.
B. Return air may come from within the hood itself by using fans internal to the hood system.
NOTE: Return air from fans MUST NOT BLOW DOWN GRIDDLE FLUE OR DIRECTLY ON GRIDDLE
SURFACE.
COUNTER GRIDDLE SECTION

INSTALLATION
In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the "OFF" position. Do this
only long enough to check equipment performance. Then turn hood back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that
may have accumulated during the test.
WALL EXHAUST FAN: Should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent opening at the top of the backsplash.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for an adequate air supply must also be provided.
PROPER VENTILATION IS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY. ANY PROBLEM DUE
TO IMPROPER VENTILATION WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.
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 "authority having jurisdiction" when it comes to
requirements for installation of equipment. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.

USER’S GUIDE
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 to 200° F 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. Neve r 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.

MAINTENANCE
USER’S GUIDE
EXTERIOR
STAINLESS STEEL: To remove normal dirt, grease, or product residue from stainless steel that operates at low
temperatures, use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly
with a clean cloth.
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 procedures 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.
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 powered cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying,
or by reducing, heat to equipment during slack periods.
WARNING:
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS GRIDDLE TO BE USED FOR HEATING STOCK
POTS. SUCH USE AUTOMATICALLY VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
COOL DOWN: At the end of each use allow griddle to cool normally. After griddle has cooled, coat griddle surface
with a light film of cooking oil to protect the surface from.moisture.
NEVER COOL GRIDDLE BY APPLYING ICE OR WATER TO GRIDDLE SURFACE.
DAMAGE DUE TO MISUSE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
A. To Check Calibration:
1. Turn thermostats to the
300°F marking. See
Figure 5.
SERVICE
2. After burners have been on a minimum of 1 hour (if cold or 30 minutes if already hot when set at 300°F) place a reliable
thermometer or thermocouple with test instruments in the center of the griddle and over the center of each burner. See
Figure 6.
3. Continue to check temperatures at 5 minute intervals, until you have two readings that are within 30° of each other.
4. The control should only be recalibrated if your reading is not within 30 degrees of the dial setting (300°F).

ADJUSTMENTS
B. To Recalibrate Thermostat:
This control has been carefully calibrated at the factory. That is, it is so adjusted to match the actual
griddle temperatures. Field calibration is seldom necessary and it should NOT be done unless considerable
experience with cooking and temperatures definitely proves that the control is not maintaining the temperatures to
which the dial is set.
1. When recalibrating, check temperatures as instructed in previous section.
2. Set temperature indicator knob to 300°F marking.
3. Remove indicator knob j from dial stem kand insert dial stem k back on thermostat. Refer to Figure 7.
SERVICE
4. Insert screwdriver through center of dial stem k into the calibration stem slot land push calibration stem l
inward. NOTE: DO NOT TURN SCREW ON CALIBRATION STEM.
5. While holding calibration stem l in with screwdriver, look for indicator mark m on dial stem k. Refer to Figure
7A.
6. Locate indicator mark that points closest to 300°F.
7. Rotate this indicator mark untill it points to the actual temperature you are reading off of the temperature
sensing device you placed in center of grill.
8. Release pressure on calibration stem l.
9. Reinstall knob l and turn thermostat to 300°F and check temperature again at 5 minute intervals.
10. If the griddle will not adjust to within 30°F this means that the sensing bulb is inoperative and the control
should be replaced.
