SPECIFICATIONS
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/CGA-
B149.2, 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).

Sectional charbroilers and sectional wood smokers are
NOT recommended for installation next to combustible materials
* Models with 6" legs or casters are suitable for installation on combustible floors.
Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle in front of the unit to permit operation (including opening of
doors and/or removal of grease drawers, drippings trays, and/or oven racks), as well as for servicing. No additional
clearance is required for servicing as the sectional range is serviceable from the front.
Models with a convection-type oven require a minimum clearance of 2" between the motor on the back and non-
combustible construction. Care must be taken to provide adequate air circulation to prevent the motor from
overheating.
Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction is zero on the sides and back for all models (except for
models with a convection-type oven).
The high-temperature flue products flow out through the top of the flue riser of all models, and from the top of
open-top and charbroiler models. Installation under a vented hood is recommended.
Salamander broilers and cheese melters mounted on the flue riser of a sectional range may require additional
minimum clearances (see the documentation for those appliances).
