SPECIFICATIONS MODEL 400-CE RESTAURANT RANGES
VENTILATION
WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove flue products
can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
All ranges must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front of the range at the top by the control
panel, or the bottom just below the oven compartment, as combustion air enters through these areas.
NOTICE
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the
warranty.
All ranges must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for an adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front or rear of the range, as
combustion air enters through this area. Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the
ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend 152 mm
past the appliance and the bottom edge be located 200 cm from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45°
or more from the horizontal. This position prevents dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a
drip pan, unusually installed with a filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere
with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames. Fresh air openings approximately equal to the fan area will
relieve such a vacuum.
The exhaust fan should be installed at least 51 mm above the vent opening at the top of the range.
If the range is connected directly to an outside flue, a CE design-certified down draft diverter must be installed at the
flue outlet of the oven and connected to the flue.
In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the appliance with the exhaust fan in the OFF position.
Do this only long enough to check equipment performance. Then turn hood back on and let it run to remove any
exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
GAS SUPPLY
A 3/4" female NPT gas connection is located on the rear of the range (see Figure 2).
The serial plate is located on the right side of the range (See Figure 1). The serial plate indicates the type of gas the
range is equipped to burn. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.

* Rated gas-requirement values are for natural gas.
These models are design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the regulator is set to
0.99 kPa (4" W.C.). For propane gas, it is set to 2.48 kPa (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 applicable national codes.
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for
satisfactory performance. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems
