The location of the serial plate depends on the type of base (see Figure 1 on page 3). On models with oven bases,
the serial plate is located on the backside of the kick-plate below the oven door (lift the kick-plate straight up and tilt
the top edge out and down.) On models with a cabinet base, the serial plate is located inside the left cabinet door. On
modular (countertop) models, the serial plate is located inside the front valve panel.
Replacement parts (including parts not listed in this manual) may be ordered either through a Southbend Authorized
Parts Distributor or a Southbend Authorized Service Agency.
When ordering parts, please supply the Model Number, Serial Number, Part Number, and Part Description.
ACCESS TO SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS
To open the kick panel below the oven door, lift the kick panel straight up and pull the top edge away from the oven.
The kick panel is hinged at the bottom corners.
To remove the valve panel, first remove the knobs. Then remove the two screws on the bottom of the valve panel
(except on modular-countertop base models). Pull the bottom of the valve panel away from the range. The top edge of
the valve panel has two small slots that hook over tabs on the frame.
To access the rear of the oven control panel, first remove the valve panel. Then remove the screw that holds the top
of the oven control panel in place. Tilt the top of the oven control panel outward, being careful not to damage the wires
or the thermostat sensor.
To service the blower motor from the front of the oven, first remove the blower baffle from the rear of the oven cavity
(lift it up and out). Then disconnect the motor-mount plate by removing the eight hex nuts that secure it to the oven
interior back. Pull the mount-plate, with motor attached, into the oven cavity.
