VENTILATION 
!
   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 units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not 
obstructed. Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front of the unit 
at the top by the control panel as combustion air enters through these areas. 
 
NOTICE 
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be 
covered by the warranty. 
 
Air for combustion enters the rear of the appliance. An exhaust flue runs along the top rear edge of griddle 
and charbroiler models. 
Southbend recommends that a ventilation canopy extend 6" past the edges of the appliance and be located 
6'6" above the floor. 
If a wall exhaust fan is installed in the wall behind the appliance, it should be at least two feet above the top 
of the appliance. 
To avoid a negative pressure condition, return air must be brought into the room to replenish the air being 
removed by the ventilation exhaust fan. RETURN-AIR FANS MUST NOT BLOW DOWN ONTO THE 
APPLIANCE. 
Ventilation filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This prevents dripping 
grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with a filter. 
Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s 
instructions. 
In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the appliance with the ventilation exhaust 
fan in the “OFF” position. Do this only long enough to check equipment performance. Then turn the fan 
back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
