4) Load the SMOKER BOX with wood if you want to add smoke flavoring and color to your
product. Set the SMOKER switch to the ON position.
5) Set the adjustable top VENT according to your product needs. High moisture products, or
products requiring supplemental moisture from the HUMIDITY control, require the VENT
to be at least partially if not all the way open. Low moisture products can be processed
with the VENT handle closed (horizontal). The VENT can also be used to help regulate
the amount of smoke in the SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES.
6) Set the 60–MINUTE TIMER as a reminder during short cooking or smoking cycles.
7) Remove your product as soon as it is finished and reload the SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES.
Repeat steps #1 through #7 as necessary.
The Manual Control SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES come equipped with our COOK-N-HOLD feature.
COOK-N-HOLD allows you to cook your product at one temperature and then automatically hold
it at a reduced temperature. Both the COOK and HOLD controls must be set, along with the 24–
HOUR TIMER, in order for you to utilize this feature.
To use the COOK-N-HOLD feature:
1) Follow steps #1 through #5 as listed above.
2) Set the 24–HOUR TIMER to the required length of processing time your product requires.
3) Set the HOLD control to the temperature you wish your finished product to remain at. The
24–HOUR TIMER will automatically shift control of the Oven's temperature from the
COOK control to the HOLD control at the end of the timed processing cycle. Your
product will remain at the set HOLD temperature until the setting is changed or the unit is
turned OFF.
IMPORTANT: Your Southbend SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES is well insulated and will maintain the
original Cook temperature for ½ to 1 hour depending on the product, product density and load
size. The temperature will not instantly drop to the hold setting at the end of the timed Cook cycle.
Plan your Cook temperature, Cook time and Hold temperature accordingly to maintain the best
possible product!!!
