STEAKHOUSE BROILER INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest pieces of heavy-duty commercial cooking equipment on the market. You will find that your new equipment, like all Southbend equipment, has been designed and manufactured to meet the toughest standards in the industry. Each piece of Southbend equipment is carefully engineered and designs are verified through laboratory tests and field installations.
SPECIFICATIONS STEAKHOUSE BROILER 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.
STEAKHOUSE BROILER SPECIFICATIONS NOTICE Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the warranty. Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions. If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that the canopy extend 152.4 mm (6”), past the appliance and that the bottom edge be located 1981 mm (6’6”) from the floor.
INSTALLATION STEAKHOUSE BROILER INSTALLATION NOTICE These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.

Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.
STEAKHOUSE BROILER INSTALLATION STEP 2A: MOUNT ON HEAVY DUTY STAND AND ATTACH RESTRAINT The stand is crated separately, but is shipped with the broiler. Depending on the shipping requirements, the broiler may already be assembled to the stand. NOTICE For an appliance equipped with casters, (1) the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.
INSTALLATION STEAKHOUSE BROILER 6. If the broiler is not already attached to the stand, locate and set aside the four ¼”-20 bolts and lock washers provided with the stand. 7. Lift the broiler (using two people is recommended) and place it on the stand so the holes in the mounting flange align with the corresponding holes in the stand (see Figure 5). The valve panel flange should sit flush with front frame of the stand. Secure the broiler to the stand with the ¼”-20 bolts and lock washers.
STEAKHOUSE BROILER INSTALLATION STEP 2B: ATTACH COUNTERTOP LEGS The broiler may set on a countertop using short legs. Be sure that the countertop is rated to support the crated weight of the broiler. The model number is shown on the serial plate located in the rear right corner of you broiler (see Figure 1). 1. With the broiler lying on its back side, screw the four legs tightly into the leg pads, as shown below. Lift the broiler (using two people is recommended) and set it in place on the countertop.
INSTALLATION STEAKHOUSE BROILER STEP 3: CONNECT GAS SUPPLY If the broiler is being installed at over 2,000 feet (610 meters) altitude and that information was not specified when ordered, contact the appropriate authorized Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty. The broiler is design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases.
STEAKHOUSE BROILER INSTALLATION STEP 5: CHECK BROILER OPERATION 1. Turn the gas supply on. Immediately check all gas connections for leaks using soapy water. 2. Light the pilots and check that the pilot flames are large enough to extend along the flame carrier to the burner surface. If not, adjust the pilots (see Figure 6). 3. Turn the burner control to HIGH and visually check that the burners have ignited. When the burners ignite, a blue flame will carry across the ceramics tiles.
OPERATION STEAKHOUSE BROILER OPERATION DANGER EXPLOSION HAZARD In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main gas shut-off valve and immediately call the emergency phone number of your gas supplier. Improper ventilation can result in headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and could result in death. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to and from cooking appliances. CAUTION If the broiler pilots should go out, the flow of gas to the broiler burners is NOT interrupted.
