Questions buyers ask
Does it have an oven?
No. The C in the model number means a stainless steel cabinet base for storage. Standard-oven (D) and convection-oven (A) versions are separate models.
Natural gas or propane?
Southbend sets the range for one gas at the factory, so tell us your gas type when ordering. Natural gas: 80,000 BTU in total; propane: 72,000 BTU.
Do I need a pressure regulator?
Yes. All Platinum sectional units need a regulated gas supply, and Southbend's spec sheet says the pressure regulator must be ordered separately. Ask us to add it to your order.
What gas hookup does it need?
A 1" rear gas connection with a male NPT connector, or the 1-1/4" front manifold when it is coupled to other sections. Minimum supply pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane.
Does it need electricity?
No electrical service is listed for the P32C-TC.
How close can it go to a wall?
Southbend lists this unit for noncombustible locations only, with 0" clearance to noncombustible construction. Installation under a vented hood is recommended.
How should I clean the charbroiler?
Never cover the charbroiler grates with a sheet pan while the burners are on. Southbend states this reflects heat into the unit, causes damage and is not covered by the warranty.
What does the warranty cover?
Southbend covers defects in parts and labor for 1 year from purchase, serviced by a Southbend Authorized Service Agency, and no longer than 18 months from the factory. Spark igniters, seals and similar wear parts are limited to 90 days, and damage from improper installation, ventilation or misuse is not covered.
