Questions buyers ask
Does it have an oven?
No. The C in the model number means a cabinet base for storage instead of an oven. Southbend ships cabinets without doors; doors that open from the center are a no-charge factory option, so ask us when you order.
Natural gas or propane?
Southbend builds the range for one gas at the factory, so tell us your gas type when ordering. The natural gas rating is 130,000 BTU; open burners are rated 24,000 BTU each on propane.
What gas hookup does it need?
One 3/4" male connection at the rear. Because the griddle is on the left, the connection is on the right side. Minimum inlet pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane, and a pressure regulator is installed at the factory.
Does it need electricity?
Southbend lists electrical service only for convection-oven versions of the S-Series. The S36C-1G has no convection oven, and its spec sheet lists no electrical connection.
How close can it go to a wall?
Allow 10" at the sides and rear from combustible construction; 0" is allowed to noncombustible construction. Install it under a vented hood and check local fire and gas codes.
Will it fit through my door?
The range is 36.5" wide and 34" deep without the crate, and it ships in a 44" W x 45.5" D x 48" H crate. Measure every doorway and turn on the delivery path first.
Can it go on any floor?
Southbend says to contact the factory before installing on a floor other than quarry tile, cement or natural stone, because damage from improper installation is not covered. Ask us and we will check the options with Southbend.
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.
