Ovens ordered with the 120V power option are equipped with one, two, or three power cords with a standard 120V
single-phase plug with a ground prong. Single-deck ovens will have one power cord, double-deck ovens will have
two, and triple-deck ovens will have three.
Ovens with other power options have a terminal block on the rear of the oven that must be wired to the power
supply.

The serial plate is located inside the lower front panel. It indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn. All
Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.
These models are design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the regulator is set
to deliver a 6” W.C. pressure to the manifold. For propane gas, it is set to deliver 10” W.C.
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed 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.
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
A 1” NPT female line is provided at the rear for the gas connection. An adequate gas supply is imperative.
Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance.
An adequate gas supply line to the unit should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe from the unit to
which it is connected.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
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 unit
has been put into operation. Test pressure should not exceed 1/2” W.C.

IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed
responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a
claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be signed
the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss that is
not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all
contents plus all packing material.
1. Cut banding straps and remove packing material.
2. Remove tie-down strap holding oven to wooden skid.
3. If you are installing a single-deck oven, go to Step 2a.
If you are installing a double-deck or triple-deck oven, go to Step 2b.
