Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.

Southbend reserves the right to change specications 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.

This product is intended for commercial use only, not for household use.

GAS SUPPLY

The serial plate is located on the interior side of the valve panel (see Figure 1 on page 3). It indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.

These models are design-certied for operation on natural or propane gases. The unit is shipped congured for the type of gas specied by the purchaser. A kit for conversion to a different type of gas may be purchased from Southbend (see

page 21 for conversion instructions).

This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is congured.

An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance.. A 1/8” pressure tap is located on the manifold to measure the manifold pressure. An adequate gas supply line to the unit should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe from the unit to which it is connected.

Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.

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 ame to check for gas leaks. All connections must be checked for leaks after the unit has been put into operation. Test pressure should not exceed 14” W.C.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF THAT SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa).

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa).

VENTILATION

WARNING

Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove ue products can

cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.

All units must be installed in such a manner that the ow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.

Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front or rear of the unit 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.

Air for combustion enters the rear of the appliance. An exhaust ue runs along the top rear edge of griddle and charbroiler

models.

Southbend recommends that a ventilation canopy extend 6” past the edges of the appliance and be located 6’6” above

the oor.

If a wall exhaust fan is installed in the wall behind the appliance, it should be at least two feet above the top of the appliance.

To avoid a negative pressure condition, return air must be brought into the room to replenish the air being removed by the

ventilation exhaust fan. RETURN-AIR FANS MUST NOT BLOW DOWN ONTO THE APPLIANCE.

Ventilation lters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This prevents dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with a lter.

Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the appliance with the ventilation exhaust fan in the “OFF” position. Do this only long enough to check equipment performance. Then turn the fan back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.

INSTALLATION

NOTICE

Installation must comply with 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.

These installation procedures must be followed by qualied personnel or warranty will be void.

Step 1: Unpacking

IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

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

1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden damage to the freight carrier IMMEDIATELY.

2. Do not remove any tags or labels until unit is installed and working properly.

Step 2: Attach Countertop Legs

The appliance can be mounted in several ways:

Mount it on short, countertop legs.

Mount it on a stand that rests on the oor.

Step 2a: Installation on Countertop Legs

To install the appliance using countertop legs, do the following:

1. Locate the box of four legs shipped with the appliance (if countertop legs were ordered).

2. Raise the appliance about 6” so that the legs can be screwed into the bottom near the corners. Lift the appliance only from the ends, never from the middle! Support the lifted appliance so that it will not fall while you are attaching the legs.

3. Screw the four legs into the threaded holes located on the bottom of the appliance near each corner (as shown in Figure 2 below).

Gently lower the appliance onto the counter. Level the appliance surface by screwing one or more of the legs in or out.

4. Step 4 on page 9.

Step 3: Attach Restraint for Appliances Mounted on Casters

NOTICE

For an appliance equipped with casters, (1) the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the

Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41, or Quick Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9, (2) adequate

means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quickdisconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement and (3) the restraining means should be attached to a frame member on the back of the unit.

WARNING

To avoid accidental gas disconnection and potential explosion:

If disconnection of this restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it when the appliance is moved to its originally installed position.

Appliances mounted on a stand with casters or other movable surface must be equipped with a restraining means to

prevent accidental stress on the exible gas connection.

1. Secure the restraining-device bracket (item “B” in the following illustration) to a wall stud located as close as possible to the appliance connector inlet and outlet connections. Use four #12 screws (items “C”) and plastic anchors (items “A”) if necessary.

2. Install eye-bolt (item “F”) to a frame member on the rear of the equipment. After checking carefully behind the frame

member for adequate clearance, drill a 1/4” hole through the frame member.

3. Thread hex nut (item “G”) and slide the washer (item “H”) onto the eye-bolt. Insert the eye-bolt through the 1/4” drilled

hole and secure with a washer (item “H”) and nylon lock nut (item “I”).

4. Using the spring-loaded snap hooks, attach the restraining device to the bracket and the eye-bolt.

5. Using the cable clamp (item “D”), adjust the restraining device extended length to prevent over-bending or kinking of the appliance connector.

Note: For units not equipped with ame safety devices, be sure all valves are turned off prior to disconnecting.

After reconnecting, be sure that the oven is switched OFF.

INSTALLATION

Step 4: Connect Gas Supply

The serial plate is located interior side of the control panel (see Figure 1 on page 3). It indicates the type of gas the appliance is equipped to burn. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate. This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.

If the appliance is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specied when ordered,

contact the appropriate authorized Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department. Failure to

install with proper orice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.

These models are design-certied for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the convertible regulator shipped with the appliance is set to deliver a 4” W.C. pressure to the manifold. For propane gas, it is set to deliver 10” W.C.

An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. A 1/8” pressure tap is located on the manifold to measure pressure.

Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the appliance.

Use pipe joint compound that is suitable for use with LP gas on all threaded connections.

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 APPLIANCE HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION.

TEST PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 14” W.C.

To connect the gas supply, do the following:

1. Check that the gas supply to the piping that will be connected to the appliance is shut off.

2. Check that all control knobs on the appliance are turned “OFF.”

3. Attach the pressure regulator shipped with the appliance to the 3/4” NPT gas inlet connector located on the rear of the appliance (see Figure 4 below). Be sure that the regulator is connected so that the gas ow is in the same

direction as the arrow on the bottom of the regulator.

4. Connect the vent line from the pressure regulator 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.

5. Connect the gas inlet of the pressure regulator to the building’s supply system. No segment of the gas supply

connection to the appliance should be smaller than 3/4” NPT. Standard pipe ttings are required.

6. Turn on gas supply.

7. Check for leaks using soapy water.
