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).

Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle to allow the doors to open sufficiently to permit the removal of the
racks and for serviceability.
Although no clearance is required behind the motor on the rear of the oven, care must be taken to provide adequate
air circulation to prevent the motor from overheating.
Do not locate the oven adjacent to any high heat or grease-producing piece of equipment, such as a range top,
griddle, fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior temperature of the oven above 130°F (54°C).
