NOTICE

Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association,
Inc., states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to
installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.
The steamer, when installed, must be electrically grounded and comply with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition.
Canadian installations must comply with CSA-Standard (C22.2 No. 109-M1981 General Requirements-Canadian
Electrical Code, Part II. 109-M1981) Commercial Cooking Appliances.
Southbend reserves the right to change specifications and product design without notice. Such revisions do not
entitle the buyer to corresponding changes, additions, or replacements for previously purchased equipment.
This product is intended for commercial use only, not for household use.

CLEARANCES

WARNING

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

Minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible surfaces is 0" on the sides, bottom, and top; and 4" on
the rear. Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle in front of the steamer to permit operation (including
pulling out of pans).
Steam may escape from the pressure relief valve at the top left rear corner of each steamer, and from the door
opening when the door is opened. Installation under a vented hood is recommended.
A steamer may be installed on combustible and non-combustible countertops.
