2. Install eye-bolt (item “F”) to a frame member on the rear of the equipment. After checking carefully behind the frame
member for adequate clearance, drill a 1/4” hole through the frame member.
3. Thread hex nut (item “G”) and slide the washer (item “H”) onto the eye-bolt. Insert the eye-bolt through the 1/4” drilled
hole and secure with a washer (item “H”) and nylon lock nut (item “I”).
4. Using the spring-loaded snap hooks, attach the restraining device to the bracket and the eye-bolt.
5. Using the cable clamp (item “D”), adjust the restraining device extended length to prevent over-bending or kinking of
the appliance connector.
Note: For units not equipped with ame safety devices, be sure all valves are turned off prior to disconnecting.
After reconnecting, be sure that the oven is switched OFF.
Step 4: Connect Gas Supply
The serial plate is located interior side of the control panel (see Figure 1 on page 3). It indicates the type of gas the
appliance is equipped to burn. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
If the appliance is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specied when ordered,
contact the appropriate authorized Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department. Failure to
install with proper orice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.
These models are design-certied for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the convertible regulator
shipped with the appliance is set to deliver a 4” W.C. pressure to the manifold. For propane gas, it is set to deliver 10”
W.C.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for
satisfactory performance. A 1/8” pressure tap is located on the manifold to measure pressure.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the appliance.
Use pipe joint compound that is suitable for use with LP gas on all threaded connections.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
ALL PIPE JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE TESTED THOROUGHLY FOR GAS LEAKS. USE ONLY SOAPY
WATER FOR TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. ALL
CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AFTER THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION.
TEST PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 14” W.C.
To connect the gas supply, do the following:
1. Check that the gas supply to the piping that will be connected to the appliance is shut off.
2. Check that all control knobs on the appliance are turned “OFF.”
3. Attach the pressure regulator shipped with the appliance to the 3/4” NPT gas inlet connector located on the rear
of the appliance (see Figure 4 below). Be sure that the regulator is connected so that the gas ow is in the same
direction as the arrow on the bottom of the regulator.
4. Connect the vent line from the pressure regulator to the outdoors in accordance 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.
5. Connect the gas inlet of the pressure regulator to the building’s supply system. No segment of the gas supply
connection to the appliance should be smaller than 3/4” NPT. Standard pipe ttings are required.
6. Turn on gas supply.
7. Check for leaks using soapy water.
