Questions buyers ask
Natural gas or propane?
Southbend sets the range for one gas at the factory, and the serial plate shows which. Tell us your gas type when ordering. The natural gas total is 170,000 BTU; propane ratings per burner and oven are in the spec table.
What gas hookup does it need?
One 3/4" female NPT connection at the rear. Minimum inlet pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane. A flexible hose must be at least 3/4" inside diameter and meet ANSI Z21.69; use a restraining device if the range is on casters.
Does it need electricity?
Southbend's spec sheet lists electrical service only for convection-oven and hybrid models. This model uses standing pilots and battery spark ignition for the oven.
How close can it go to a wall?
Keep 10" at the sides and rear from combustible construction; next to noncombustible construction the clearance is 0". On a combustible floor it must stand on 6" legs or casters. Install it under a vented hood and check local codes.
Will it fit through my door?
The range is 48.63" wide and 34" deep; the flue riser and shelf ship removed and are reinstalled on site. It ships in a 69" W x 48" D x 74" H crate. Measure every doorway and turn on the delivery path first.
