If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and was not specified on order, contact the appropriate
authorized Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department.
Failure to install with proper ori-
fice sizing will result in improper performance and may void the warranty.

NOTE: For use in noncombustible locations a.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for an adequate air supply must be provided.
Do not obstruct the front or rear of the unit, as combustion air
enters through this area.
Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment
manufacturers instructions.
No additional clearance from the sides and back is required for service as the units are serviceable from the front.
DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.
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.
EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:
c
anopies 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 6’6” from the floor.
Filters
should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more from horizontal. This position prevents dripping grease and facili-
tates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with a filter.
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.
WALL EXHAUST FAN:
The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2” above the vent opening at the top of the
unit.
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.
