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.
This product is 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).

C LEARANCES
WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove flue products can
cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. Provisions
for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front of the unit at the bottom where the air filter is
located or below the oven door as combustion air enters at these locations.
V ENTILATION
There must be adequate clearance between the broiler and adjacent construction due to the heat generated by the
broiler. Clearance must also be provided for servicing and for operation.
The minimum clearance from non-combustible construction is 1” on the sides (to permit combustion air to enter the sides
of the broiler). To service the broiler components, all models require at least 6” accessibility clearance on the right and left
side.
Adequate clearance must be provided in front of the broiler for operation and cleaning.
The high-temperature flue products from the broiler burners flow out through a vented cover on top of the broiler.
Installation under a vented hood is recommended.
WARNING
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
The countertop model requires a minimum clearance from combustible surfaces of 1” on the sides.
The wall-mount model requires a minimum clearance from combustible surfaces of 1” on the sides.
The range-mount model should comply with the range’s minimum clearance from combustible surfaces of 6” on the
sides and rear.
