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, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA­B149.2, 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).

CLEARANCES

WARNING

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

There must be adequate clearance between ranges and combustible construction. Clearance must also be
provided for servicing and for operation.

Minimum Clearances:

Standard Oven Convection Oven Double Oven Base
Sides 10 inches 10 inches 10 inches
Back 10 inches 10 inches 10 inches

Floor zero zero zero
Ranges are suitable for installation on combustible floors.
Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle and at the side and rear to allow the door to open sufficiently to

permit the removal of the racks and for serviceability.
On ranges with a convection-type oven, a minimum of 2 inches clearance must be allo wed behind the motor and

the rear non-combustible enclosure. Care must be taken to provide adequate air circulation to prevent the motor
from overheating. No additional clearance from the sides and back is required for service as the ranges are
serviceable from the front.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Ranges with a convection oven require connection to a supply of electricity. The appliance, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the applicable national
codes. An electrical diagram is located on the rear of the range, near the motor.

Usually the range is furnished with one or two power cords (one for each oven), each with a standard 115V, 60Hz,
single-phase prong plug. Total maximum power for 115V units is 4.8 amperes.

The range can be ordered to operate on 208V 60Hz 1-phase or 3-phase current, in which case the electric power
supply must be wired to one or two junction boxes (one for each oven), each with a terminal block on the rear of the
range. Total maximum power for 208V units is 2.6 amperes.

500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES SPECIFICATIONS

GAS SUPPLY

A 3/4" female NPT gas connection is located on the rear of the range (see Figure 2).
The serial plate is located on the right side of the range (See

range is equipped to burn. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.
These models are design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the regulator is set to 4"

W.C. (0.99 kPa). For propane gas, it is set to 10" W.C. (2.48 kPa).
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 applicable national codes.
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
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.

An adequate gas supply line to the range should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe from the range to
which it is connected.

Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the range.
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 flame to check for gas leaks. All connections must be checked for leaks after the range has
been put into operation. Test pressure should not exceed 14" W.C. (3.47 kPa).

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 ranges must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front of the range at the top by the control
panel, or the bottom just below the oven compartment, 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.

Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6" past
the appliance and the bottom edge be located 78" above 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, unusually installed with a filter.

OWNER’S MANUAL 1188716 (09/07) PAGE 7 OF 48

SPECIFICATIONS 500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES

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 at the top of the range.
If the range is connected directly to an outside flue, a CSA design-certified down draft diverter must be installed at the

flue outlet of the oven and connected to the flue.
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 hood back on and let it run to remove any
exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.

PAGE 8 OF 48 OWNER’S MANUAL 1188716 (09/07)

500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES OPERATION

OPERATION

DANGER

EXPLOSION AND ASPHYXIATION HAZARD

In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main gas shut-off valve and immediately call
the emergency phone number of your gas supplier.

Improper ventilation can result in headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and could result in death. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air to and from cooking appliances.

CAUTION

To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the event of main burner ignition failure wait five
minutes before attempting to relight the pilot or burner.

The controls for the burners and oven(s) are located on the valve panel on the front of the range.
If the pilots need to be lit, follow the steps listed in each section below.

LIGHTING AFTER GAS HAS BEEN SHUT OFF

When turning the main gas supply on after the gas supply has been shut off, do the following:

1. Make sure the gas supply valve, located on the front valve panel, is in the OFF position.

2. Make sure all of the control valves are in the OFF position.

3. Turn on the incoming gas supply.

4. Turn the gas supply valve, located on the front valve panel, to the ON position.

5. Light the pilots as described below.

6. Light the oven first and then wait six minutes before lighting top burners to purge all air from the range.

OPERATION OF TOP BURNERS

To operate a top burner, turn the corresponding control knob on the front panel to the desired flame level.
Each top burner has its own pilot. If a top-burner pilot needs to be lighted, do the following:

1. Turn all the top-burner control knobs to the OFF position.

2. Depress and hold down the spark switch (the black button located between the control valves). A spark from the
igniter to the pilot can be seen and heard. When the pilot lights, release the spark switch.

On models equipped with open top Flame Failure, turn one of the top-burner control knobs to the pilot position,
push the knob inward, and hold it in place. Depress and hold down the spark switch (the black button between
the control valves). A spark from the igniter to the pilot can be seen and heard. When the pilot lights, release the
spark switch, but continue holding the knob in for 30 to 45 seconds. When the knob is released, the pilot should
remain lit.

3. Repeat step 2 for the all other top-burner pilots that need to be lighted.

OPERATION OF OVEN

To operate an oven, turn the oven-thermostat knob on the front panel to the desired temperature. On convection ovens,
the blower is controlled by an ON-OFF switch.

Each oven has its own pilot. If an oven pilot needs to be lighted, do the following:

1. Turn the oven thermostat to the OFF position.

2. For convection ovens, turn the fan switch to the OFF position.

3. Open the oven door and remove the oven bottom and fire plate to expose pilot and burner.

4. Open the kick panel below the oven door and depress red button on oven safety valve.

OWNER’S MANUAL 1188716 (09/07) PAGE 9 OF 48

OPERATION 500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES

5. Light constant pilot (the pilot without a capillary tube holder).

6. Close the kick panel and replace the fire plate and oven bottom.

OPERATION OF NON-THERMOSTATIC GRIDDLES

Ranges can be ordered with non-thermostatic griddle sections. Each griddle is controll ed by a knob on the front control
panel.

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 surface from moisture.

If a non-thermostatic griddle pilot needs to be lighted, do the following:

1. Raise griddle at front so it is approximately 8" (200 mm) high and prop it up with two blocks of wood.

2. Ignite pilot tube located under all burners with port at each side of burners. Pilots are supplied and adjusted by a
common valve located below the filter on the manifold.

3. Carefully lower the griddle into position, use the griddle control knob to turn on the griddle, and observe the
griddle burners through holes in valve panel. When operating, the burners should have a 1/4" to 5/8" (13 to 16
mm) high steady blue flame. Adjust if necessary.

OPERATION OF THERMOSTATIC GRIDDLES

Ranges can be ordered with thermostatic griddle sections. Each griddle is controlled by a knob on the front control panel.
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 surface from moisture.
If a thermostatic griddle pilot needs to be lighted, do the following:

1. Raise griddle at front so it is approximately 8" (200 mm) high and prop it up with two blocks of wood.

2. The thermostat sensing bulbs must be fully inserted into their tubular holders, which are welded to the underside
of the griddle.

3. One pilot tube is located under all burners with ports at each side of the burners. Pilots are supplied and adjusted
by a common valve on the manifold. Light the pilots.

4. Carefully lower the griddle into position taking extreme care that capillary tubes are coiled under manifold in valve
panel compartment. NEVER leave any part of the capillary tube in the burner compartment.

5. Set the griddle thermostat dials to maximum, one at a time, and observe the griddle burners through holes in
valve panel. When operating, the burners should have a 1/4" to 5/8" (13 to 16 mm) high steady blue flame. After
operating the griddle for ten minutes with the thermostat dial set at maximum, turn the dial to “LOW” and again
observe the burners through the holes in the valve panel. When the thermostat knob is set “LOW” the burners
should have a 1/8" to 1/4" (3 to 6 mm) high steady blue flame. Adjust if necessary.

SHUTDOWN OF ENTIRE RANGE

To completely shut down the range for an extended period (or prior to disconnecting the gas supply), do the following:

1. Turn all burner control knobs to OFF.

2. Turn the oven thermostat knob(s) to the lowest temperature.

3. Turn the main gas valve on the valve panel to OFF.

4. Turn-off the gas supply to the oven.

As a guide, set oven temperatures 25 to 50 degrees lower than called for in recipes using conventional (non-convection)
ovens.

FROZEN ENTREE PRODUCTS: Punch holes in lid before heating. Tent lid if product has a tendency to stick, i.e.,
lasagna or macaroni and cheese. Use manufacturer’s convection oven directio ns for time and temperature or reduce
conventional oven temperature 50 degrees for a 6-1/2 size pan load. Some products m ay coo k in 10 to 15 minutes less
time than recommended for convection ovens if prepared from frozen in a 6 pan load.

Time and temperatures will vary depending upon load, mix, size of portion, and other factors. Use the following chart to

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Shut off the range and allow time for it to cool before cleaning or performing maintenance.

Southbend appliances are sturdily constructed of the best materials and are designed to provide durable service when
treated with ordinary care. 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 usag e.

Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance long life for your equipm ent. Climatic conditions
(such as salt air) may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equi pment could be adversely
affected.

Keep exposed, cleanable areas clean at all times.

DAILY CLEANING

1. Turn all controls to OFF and allow time for the range to cool.

2. Remove, empty, and clean drip trays.

3. Wipe clean all cooking surfaces.

CLEANING OVEN INTERIOR

WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY, BEFORE CLEANING A CONVECTION OVEN DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY.

WHEN CLEANING THE BLOWER WHEEL, BE SURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION.

Allow oven to cool. Remove porcelain enameled oven bottom. Clean by rubbing with strong detergent and Brillo pad
or similar scrubber. “Spill-overs” should be cleaned from the bottom as soon as possible to prevent carbonizing and a
“burnt-on” condition. For stubborn accumulations, commercial oven cleaners are recommended.

The porcelain oven door lining can be cleaned in a similar manner.
The side, rear and top lining should be wiped only with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using

excessive amounts of water, as this may drip into burner compartment and deteriorate the metal in that area. Do not
use strong commercial cleaners or abrasive pads on the side, rear or top linings, as they may damage the finish or
leave gray residue.

PERIODIC CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

At least monthly, clean around burner air mixers and orifices if lint has accumulated and visually check proper pilot
operation.

At least twice a year, examine and clean the range hood and venting system.
If range-top spillage should occur, it may be necessary to clean around pilot areas, air mixer, and under burners. Use

a wire brush if necessary.
If any burners become clogged, remove and clean them. Allow interior to drain. Dry thoroughly before replacing.

BLUE BAKED-ENAMEL SURFACES

Wash interior blue baked-enamel surfaces with a hot, mild detergent or soap solution to clean off all grease deposits.
Dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.

OWNER’S MANUAL 1188716 (09/07) PAGE 13 OF 48

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE 500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES

STAINLESS-STEEL SURFACES

To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel surfaces that operate at LOW temperature,
use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.

To remove BAKED-ON grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors; 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.

“Heat tint” is darkened areas that sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to
excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protectiv e surfa ce of t he 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 may be lessened by reducing heat to equipment
during slack periods.

BRIGHT-ANNEALED STAINLESS-STEEL SURFACES

To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel surfaces that operate at LOW temperature,
use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.

Never use any abrasive cleaner, pad, wire brush, scrapper, or file to remove material from the bright-annealed
surfaces.

CARE OF GRIDDLES

New griddles should be carefully tempered and cared for in order to avoid possible damage. To break in a n ew
griddle, first wipe it clean. Next, light all the griddle burners and turn them to low for one hour. Then gradually bring
each griddle up 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 the 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 (288°C), as this will cause warpag e or breakage.

Do not use any type of steel wool. Small particles may be left on the surface and get into food products. 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.

Do not waste gas or abuse equipment by leaving valves at “Full On” position or thermostat at a high temperature if not
required. During idle periods, set valves at “Low” position or thermostats to low temperature settings to keep griddle
warm. Reset valves or thermostats, as required, for periods of heavy load. Turn valves or thermostats to OFF at end
of daily operation.

INSTALLATION

NOTICE

These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.
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.

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, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA­B149.2, 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).

NOTICE

EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES: It is recommended that the range be installed under a ventilation hood.

Consult local codes for proper installation of hoods. Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsi bility. Any problem
due to improper ventilation will not be covered by warranty.

NOTICE

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts all gas appliances vented by either mechanical systems or ventilation
hoods shall comply with 248 CMR interlocking requirements.

STEP 1: UNPACKING

IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrie r has assumed
responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or conceal ed, 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.

Do the following:

1. Cut the banding straps and remove the corrugated cardboard surrounding the range. If legs were shipped in
the same container, set them aside for installation in later steps of this procedure. Do not remove any tags or
labels attached to the range until the range is installed and working properly.

2. Lift the flue riser off the front of the skid (see

3. Pull the shelf assembly out from under the base and set it aside for installation later in this procedure.

4. Unbolt the shipping hold-down brackets from the skid, then remove the brackets from the range.

STEP 4: ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (FOR CONVECTION-OVEN MODELS ONLY)

Wiring diagrams are located on the rear of the range. Be sure that the input voltage and phase match the
requirements shown on the serial plate (see

Ranges are factory-equipped either with a power cord or with one or two two-pole terminal blocks (one for each oven),
located behind cover plate(s) located on the rear of the range. To connect the supply wires, remove the appropriate
cover plate. Route the supply wires and the grounding wire through the strain relief fitting to the terminal block. Insert
the supply wires, one each, into the two poles of the terminal block and tighten the screws. Insert the ground wire into
the grounding lug and tighten the screw. Re-attach the cover plate.

Three phase ranges are wired as above, using only two supply wires. The third wire is not used and must be properly
terminated.

All ranges are shipped wired as specified by factory order. Conversion between single-phase and three-phase can be
accomplished by referring to phase loading and line amperes chart on wiring diagram for wire size and ampere
requirements.

Figure 1 on page 3).

STEP 5: GAS CONNECTION

If this equipment is being installed at over 610 meters altitude and that information was not specified when ordered,
contact the appropriate authorized Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department. Failure
to install with proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.

The serial plate is located on the interior side of the kick panel below the oven. It indicates the type of gas the range is
equipped to burn. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.

OWNER’S MANUAL 1188716 (09/07) PAGE 19 OF 48

INSTALLATION 500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES

These models are design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the regulator is set to
deliver gas at 0.99 kPa (4" W.C.) pressure to the manifold. For propane gas, it is set to 2.48 kPa (10" W.C.).

This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
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 gas supply line to the range should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipes to whi ch it is co nnected.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the range.

CAUTION

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 FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AFTER THE RANGE HAS BEEN PUT INTO
OPERATION. TEST PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 14" W.C. (3.47 kPa).

STEP 6: CHECK THE INSTALLATION

Check the installation of the range, as follows:

1. Check that all screws and bolts are tightened.

2. Check that the electrical and gas connections have been made correctly.

3. With the range in the position that it will be operated, check that the range is level. If not, adjust the legs or
casters.

4. Check that the appropriate minimum clearances are satisfied (see page

5. Check that the oven door(s) open and close properly.

6. Check that there is sufficient clearance in front of the range to open the oven door.

7. Wipe clean all surfaces.

4).

STEP 7: CHECK OPERATION

Check the operation of the range, as follows:

1. Turn on the gas supply and, for convection-oven models, the electric power supply.

2. Light the burner pilots and oven pilot(s), starting with the top burner farthest from the gas input in order to
purge the system of air. Check for proper pilot-flame height and adjust pilots, if necessary.

3. Turn on the oven and all burners at the same time. Check for correct burner operation and adjust the air
shutters, if necessary.

4. On convection-oven models, turn on the blower(s) and check for proper operation.

5. Turn off the burners and oven.

STEP 8: SHUT-DOWN AND WIPE-CLEAN RANGE

Complete the installation by leaving the range ready for customer use:

1. Allow the range to cool.

2. Wipe clean all surfaces.

3. Unless the range is to be placed in service immediately, turn off the gas supply and (for convection-oven
models, the electricity supply.

4. Make sure that a copy of this manual will be available to the people who will operate and maintain the range.

TROUBLESHOOTING OPEN-TOP BURNERS

Each open-top burner should have a steady blue flame on each port of the burner. Propane burn ers may have a small
amount of yellow tipping, and may make a slight popping noise when turned off.

If the flame is rising up off of the ports, adjust the burner shutter so it is more closed. If the flame is long and yellow
adjust the burner shutter so it is more open.

Consult the following table and the flowchart on this page.

Problem Look for -

No burners or pilots in the range will turn on. – Main gas supply to range is OFF.
Spark electrode does not spark (to light pilot). – Battery (inside corresponding spark module on rear of

of range) needs replacement.

All burners produce excessive carbon deposits. – Incorrect gas type supplied to range.

– Incorrect supply pressure.

Only some burners in a range produce excessive carbon
deposits.

– Incorrect orifices.
– Primary air not adjusted properly.

Only some pilots produce excessive carbon deposits. – Pilot gas not adjusted properly.

– Incorrect pilot orifice.

Top burner will not come on, but oven will come on. – Control valve for top burner is in OFF position.

– Pilot out.

Open-top burner pilot will not stay ignited. – Pilot gas not adjusted properly.

– Clogged orifice.
– Draft condition.
– Improper ventilation system.
– Air in gas line.
– Thermocouple bad.

Figure 8

Troubleshooting Open-Top Burners

Open-top burners are not working correctly.

Check that the burners are set level in their support brackets.

Check that the burners are clean and that their ports are clear.

Remove each burner and check that the venturi is clean and free of buildup and debris. Also check that the

orifice size is correct and that it is clean and free of buildup and debris.

Remove the burner control knobs and carefully lower the valve panel. CAUTION! Convection oven models

have wiring attached behind the panel.

Check that each burner valve and orifice is in alignment with the corresponding burner.

Check the pressure of the gas supply with all the gas appliances connected to the supply turned fully on. The

inlet pressure (before entering the pressure regulator for the range) must be in the range 3.5" to 5" W.C. (0.87

to 1.24 kPa) for natural gas, or in the range 10" to 11" W.C. (2.48 to 2.73 kPa) for propane. Adjust the

pressure and/or capacity of the gas supply, if necessary.

Check the pressure of the gas manifold of the range (after the gas leaves the pressure regulator for the

range). See page 26.

ADJUSTMENT OF GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR

The pressure regulator is factory set at 4" W.C. (0.99 kPa) for natural gas and 10" W.C. (2.48 kPa) for propane gas. To
check the manifold pressure:

1. Turn all thermostats and burner valves to OFF position.

2. Turn main gas valve to entire range off.

3. Remove valve panels and locate the small plug in the manifold.

4. Remove plug and install a fitting appropriate to connect a manometer.

5. Turn on main gas to range and light pilots.

6. Turn all burners and ovens to full ON position and read manometer.

7. If manometer does not read 4" W.C. (0.99 kPa) for natural gas, or 10" W.C. (2.48 kPa) for propane gas, adjust
regulator (if gas pressure is correct go to Step 10).

8. Remove cap from top of regulator.

9. With a screwdriver rotate regulator adjustment screw clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease,
pressure until manometer shows correct reading.

10. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

11. Remove manometer fitting and replace plug in manifold.

12. Turn on main gas to range and light pilots.

13. Replace valve panels.

500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES SERVICE

ADJUSTMENT OF OPEN-TOP PILOTS

The open-top pilots are the non-aerated (yellow-tipped flame) type. One is located beside each open-top burne r.
Pilot outage is often caused by an unstable flame due to over-adjustment to the point where the flame is leaving its port,

or “blowing off.” Often, in an effort to improve ignition, the pilots are increased too much and result in this unstable
condition.

The pilots are adjusted by inserting the blade of a screwdriver into the slot on the small valve, located on the manifold.
The maximum flame size is approximately 3/4" (19 mm) with a slight yellow tip. The first indication of over-adjustment is
evident when the yellow tip begins to stream into black streaks and generate carbon. Continued over-adjustment leads
to the unstable lifting and blowing condition.

ADJUSTMENT OF OPEN-TOP BURNERS

All open-top burners are primarily adjusted by means of an air shutter on the mixer face.
To adjust a burner, loosen the screw that holds the air shutter in position and rotate the mixer cap until a clear, stable

blue flame is obtained. The flame should not be yellow tipped nor should it blow off the burner ports.
All orifice sizes and burner rate are properly set at the factory and should not be altered.
Over-rated burners cause poor burner and pilot performance, resulting in less heat, and wasted gas.

ADJUSTMENT OF OVEN STANDING PILOT

The standing oven pilot flame can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw on the pilot line valve with a screwdriver.
The pilot line valve is located behind the kick panel below the oven door. Remove the kick panel to gain access. The
pilot flame is properly adjusted when it is just large enough to maintain a glowing red color of the flame switch capillary
bulb.

ADJUSTMENT OF OVEN BURNER

The oven burner orifice is of the fixed type, sized for the specified gas supply. The burner flame characteristics are
controlled by varying the primary air mixer cap. There should be a clear blue flame with a dist inct inner cone at each
port. Excessive primary air can result in “blowing” or the flames leaving the ports. Lack of primary air causes soft or
yellow tipped flame.

ADJUSTMENT OF OVEN BYPASS FLAME LEVEL

When the oven reaches the temperature at which the dial is set, the oven thermostat reduces the flow of gas to the
amount required to keep the oven at that temperature. However, the thermostat must always supply enough gas to keep
the entire burner lighted. To maintain this minimum flame, the bypass must be set carefully and accurately using the
following procedure (see illustration on page

1. Open the kick panel below the door of the oven by lifting it slightly and pulling the top edge away from the oven.
The oven burner should now be visible.

2. Turn the oven thermostat to its highest setting and check that the oven burner ignites.

3. After 5 minutes, turn the oven thermostat down to point between the two lines on the thermostat dial between
OFF and the lowest temperature setting (this is the bypass setting).

4. Check to see if the flame is about 3/4" (19 mm) high along the entire length of the burner. If it is, the bypass
flame level does not need adjustment. If it is not, continue with this procedure.

5. Remove the control knobs, thermostat dial and bezel, and the valve panel.

6. Using a screwdriver, turn the bypass adjustor on the stem of the thermostat (see illustration on page
counterclockwise to increase the flame or clockwise to decrease the flame until the flame is approximately 1/4" (6
mm) high along the entire length of the burner. (If no flame is present at all, place a flame at the burner shutter to
check for gas flow.) If the proper flame level cannot be established, replace the thermostat.

7. Replace the valve panel, control knobs, and thermostat bezel and dial. Turn all control knobs to the OFF
position.

CALIBRATION OF OVEN THERMOSTAT

The oven thermostat control is carefully calibrated at the factory so that its dial settings closely match actual oven
temperatures. Field recalibration is seldom necessary, and should not be resorted to unless conside rable experience
with unexpected cooking results definitely proves that the control is not maintaining the temperatures to which the dial is
set.

When checking the oven temperature, use a test instrument or a reliable mercury thermometer positioned in the center
of the oven. The oven bottom must be in place. For convection ovens, the blower baffle must be in place.

Proceed as follows (see

1. Turn the Bypass Screw clockwise all the way in to the OFF position (a very small bypass flame may be visible.)

2. Check that the thermostat knob is in the OFF position.

3. Place a thermocouple (temperature probe) in the center of the top rack.

4. With the oven empty (other than the rack and thermocouple), light the oven pilot and turn the thermostat to the
350°F (175°C) setting.

5. Allow the oven to heat until its temperature stabilizes. (Make sure the bypass flame is off or very low at this time.)

6. If the temperature of the thermocouple is not within 15°F (8°C) of the set point (350°F or 175°C), remove the
knob and turn the screw in the center of the thermostat in very small increments. Turn the screw clockwise to
lower the temperature, or counterclockwise to raise the temperature.

7. Allow the oven temperature to stabilize again.

8. Repeat Step 6 as necessary until the calibration is within 15°F (8°C) of the set point (350°F or 175°C).

9. Reinstall the thermostat knob.

10. Turn the thermostat knob down until the set point is between the first two marks after the OFF position.

11. Turn the Bypass Screw counter clockwise until the bypass flame is about 3/4 inch (19 mm) high. (The flames on
both sides of the burner should be starting to touch above the burner.)

Note: The high bypass on Southbend cafe ranges will not allow the range temperature to run away.

Figure 13 on page 29):

ADJUSTMENT OF THERMOSTATIC GRIDDLE BYPASS FLAME LEVEL

When the griddle reaches the temperature at which the dial is set, the control cuts down the flow of gas to the amount
required to keep the griddle at that temperature. Always, however, the control must bypass enough gas to keep the
entire burner lighted. To maintain this minimum flame, the bypass must be set carefully and accurately, as follows (see
Figure 13 on page 29):

1. Light the burner, then turn dial FULL ON.

2. After 5 minutes, turn dial clockwise to point slightly beyond first mark on dial.

3. Remove dial and bezel.

4. With a screwdriver, turn Bypass Adjustor (counterclockwise to increase the flame, clockwise to decrease it) until
there is a minimum flame over the entire burner.

5. Replace bezel and dial, turning the dial clockwise until it locks in the OFF position.

CALIBRATION OF THERMOSTATIC GRIDDLE THERMOSTAT

The griddle temperature control is carefully calibrated at the factory—that is, it is so adjusted that dial settings match
actual temperatures. Field recalibration is seldom necessary, and should not be resorted to unless considerable
experience with cooking results definitely proves that the control is not maintaining the temperatures to which the dial is
set.

Recalibration should not be undertaken, however, until the griddle bypass flame has been adjusted (see previous
subsection).

To check temperatures when recalibrating, use a test instrument with a DISC type thermocouple for surface temperature
checking. Drop a couple of drops of oil on griddle surface plate and place thermocouple disc flat into the oil.

Proceed as follows (see

1. Remove dial and push out metal insert.

Figure 13 below):

PAGE 28 OF 48 OWNER’S MANUAL 1188716 (09/07)

500 SERIES RESTAURANT RANGES SERVICE

2. Replace dial, turn to 350°F (175°C) mark, and light burner.

3. After burner has been on about 15 minutes check temperature.

4. Continue to check temperature, at 5-minute intervals, until two successive readings are within 5°F (3°C) of each
other.

The control should be recalibrated if your reading is not within 20°F (11°C) of the dial setting (350°F or 175°C). If
calibration is required, the additional steps to be taken are these:

5. Hold dial firmly, insert screwdriver through center of dial, and push calibration stem inward. DO NOT TURN THIS
STEM.

6. While holding calibration stem in firmly with screwdriver, turn dial until it is set at the actual oven temperature as
shown by your test instrument. Release pressure on calibration stem. Replace dial insert.

7. Set dial at 400°F (205°C) mark. Check temperature again, as instructed in steps 3 and 4. If the temperature is
not within 20°F (11°C) of the dial setting (400°F or 205°C), it means that the sensing element is inoperative and
the control should be replaced.
