This manual is for the Southbend Radiant Steakhouse Broiler, which may be mounted on a stand, a cabinet, a
refrigeration base, or a countertop. The serial plate is located in the rear right lower corner (see Figure 1 below).
Southben
d steakhouse broilers are unique in design. They utilize Southbend’s high performance radiant burners to
provide broiling temperatures of up to 850°F (454°C) on the rack surface. The spent gases are then baffled and
transferred to the top searing griddle providing a uniform temperature of 650°F (343°C). This secondary cooking
surface is perfect for searing meat and locking in juices before broiling, and is provided without additional fuel cost or
burners.
The broiler design supplies 100% clean primary air to the burners, ensuring efficient combustion and maintaining full
production capacity and maximum recovery even in the most severe conditions of grease vapors and smoke
atmospheres, which are created during any broiling process.
Read these instructions carefully before attempting installation. Installation and initial startup should be performed by
