1. Check that the burner control knob is in the OFF position. 2. Check that the pilot is in the correct position beside the burner. 3. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not already on). 4. Light the pilot with a match or a pilot-lighting device. The pilot flame should be blue and steady.

Operation of Thermostatic Griddle Sections Each 16"-wide section has one control knob that can be turned to OFF, or to any temperature in the range 150°F to 400°F (66°C to 204°C). To start cooking, turn on the appropriate control knob. Check that the burner ignites.
Page 19
Operation of Oven Each oven has a thermostatic control that can be set in the range 175°F to 550°F (66°C to 260°C). Convection ovens have a fan that can be set to HI speed or LO speed. For advice on using a convection oven, see the information on the following two pages of this manual.
Page 20
PERATION UGGESTIONS FOR OOKING As a guide, set oven temperatures 25 to 50 degrees lower than called for in recipes using conventional (non- convection) ovens. FROZEN ENTREE PRODUCTS: Punch holes in lid before heating. Tent lid if product has a tendency to stick, i.e., lasagna or macaroni and cheese.

Southbend appliances are sturdily constructed of the best materials and are designed to provide durable service when treated with ordinary care. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily.
Page 23
The hot-top plates can be removed and cleaned with hot water and detergent. A wire brush may be used on the underside of the hot top plate. It is recommended not to clean tops while still on the range, even if cooled, as excess water will drip into the burner box and deteriorate the metal.
6. Raise the range sufficiently to allow the legs to be attached. For safety, “shore up” and support the range with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load.
Page 26
Casters are provided with a Zerk fitting for proper lubrication when required. 1. Raise unit sufficiently to allow the casters to be attached. For safety, “shore up” and support the range with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load.
Page 27
The range can be mounted on an optional caster frame. The frame will have a threaded leg pad at each corner. Each caster has a corresponding mating thread. The casters can be adjusted to overcome a slightly uneven floor. Casters are provided with a Zerk fitting for proper lubrication when required.

ONNECT ATTERY If the range is part of a battery, and the battery was shipped partially disassembled, connect the battery sections using the following procedure. 1. Remove valve panels from all sections. Mark them so that they can be returned to their respective section.
Page 29
2. Slide each flue riser down onto the brackets projecting from the back of the corresponding section(s) of the sectional range. Secure the flue riser to the brackets with the four provided 1/4-20x3/4 hex-head bolts, flat washers, and lockwashers. Also, secure the bottom edge of the flue riser to the top rear edge of the sectional range using the provided #10 sheet metal screws.
4. Locate the pressure regulator(s) packed with the sectional range. Install the pressure regulator, taking care that the direction of gas flow corresponds to the arrow on the side of the pressure regulator.
Page 32
1. Wipe clean all surfaces. 2. Unless the sectional range is to be placed in service immediately, shut off the gas, electricity, and water supplies. 3. Make sure that a copy of this manual will be available to the people who will operate and maintain the sectional range.

On models with a cabinet base, the serial plate is located inside the left cabinet door. On modular (countertop) models, the serial plate is located inside the front valve panel. Replacement parts (including parts not listed in this manual) may be ordered either through a Southbend Authorized Parts Distributor or a Southbend Authorized Service Agency.
ILOTS Look for - – Main gas supply to unit is OFF. – Incorrect gas type is being supplied to the range. – Incorrect gas supply pressure. – Incorrect orifices. – Primary air not adjusted properly.

LATINUM ERIES ECTIONAL ANGE Pilot-flame outage is often due to an unstable flame caused by over-adjustment to the point where the pilot flame is leaving its port, or “blowing off.” Sometimes the pilots are increased too much in an effort to improve ignition, resulting in this unstable condition.

ERVICE Figure 20 Adjustment of Thermostatic-Griddle Thermostat Each 16"-wide section of a thermostatic griddle has a control knob that operates a snap-action thermostatic valve. Each valve is adjusted at the factory. If the griddle surface temperature is different from the thermostat dial setting, adjust the thermostatic valve using the following procedure: 1.

ERVICE ROUBLESHOOTING Proper and efficient operation of oven is dependent on correct installation and function of components. Always verify that components are in place and functioning as intended. The following table lists the possible causes of oven-related problems that may occur. Problem Oven will not come on.

BREAKER. Check all wiring for loose connections or breaks. Go to the junction box on the back of the range and remove the cover. Place a DVM or ammeter on the black wire #1. CAUTION! Be sure a DVM is protected to 40 amps or greater.
Page 42
ERVICE Figure 22 Adjustment of Oven Thermostat The oven thermostat is carefully calibrated at the factory so that the dial setting matches the actual oven temperature. Field recalibration is seldom necessary, and should not be resorted to unless considerable cooking experience definitely proves that the control is not maintaining the temperatures to which the dial is set.
