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).
CLEARANCES
WARNING
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
There must be adequate clearance between ranges and combustible construction. Clearance must also be
provided for servicing and for operation.
Minimum Clearances:
Standard Oven Convection Oven Double Oven Base
Sides 10 inches 10 inches 10 inches
Back 10 inches 10 inches 10 inches
Floor zero zero zero
Ranges are suitable for installation on combustible floors.
Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle and at the side and rear to allow the door to open sufficiently to
permit the removal of the racks and for serviceability.
On ranges with a convection-type oven, a minimum of 2 inches clearance must be allowed behind the motor and
the rear non-combustible enclosure. Care must be taken to provide adequate air circulation to prevent the motor
from overheating. No additional clearance from the sides and back is required for service as the ranges are
serviceable from the front.
