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 gas appliances must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the area under the control panel or below the
oven door (on the front), or the area below the flue riser (on the back) as combustion air enters through these areas.

NOTICE
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 gas appliances must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the area under the control panel or below the
oven door (on the front), or the area below the flue riser (on the back) as combustion air enters through these areas.
The location of the serial plate depends on the type of base (see Figure 1 on page 3). On models with oven bases, the
serial plate is located on the backside of the kick-plate below the oven door (lift the kick-plate straight up and tilt the top
edge out and down.) On models with a cabinet base, the serial plate is located inside the left cabinet door. On modular
(countertop) models, the serial plate is located inside the front valve panel.
Replacement parts (including parts not listed in this manual) may be ordered either through a Southbend Authorized Parts
Distributor or a Southbend Authorized Service Agency.
When ordering parts, please supply the Model Number, Serial Number, Part Number, and Part Description.

To open the kick panel below the oven door, lift the kick panel straight up and pull the top edge away from the oven. The
kick panel is hinged at the bottom corners.
To remove the valve panel, first remove the knobs. Then remove the two screws on the bottom of the valve panel (except
on modular-countertop base models). Pull the bottom of the valve panel away from the range. The top edge of the valve
panel has two small slots that hook over tabs on the frame.
To access the rear of the oven control panel, first remove the valve panel. Then remove the screw that holds the top of
the oven control panel in place. Tilt the top of the oven control panel outward, being careful not to damage the wires or the
thermostat sensor.
To service the blower motor from the front of the oven, first remove the blower baffle from the rear of the oven cavity (lift
it up and out). Then disconnect the motor-mount plate by removing the eight hex nuts that secure it to the oven interior
back. Pull the mount-plate, with motor attached, into the oven cavity.
