Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest pieces of heavy-duty commercial cooking equipment on the
market.
You will find that your new equipment, like all Southbend equipment, has been designed and manufactured to meet
the toughest standards in the industry. Each piece of Southbend equipment is carefully engineered and designs are
verified through laboratory tests and field installations. With proper care and field maintenance, you will experience
years of reliable, trouble-free operation. For best results, read this manual carefully.
RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This manual is for the Southbend/Platinum Infrared Cheese Melter, which may be mounted over a range or on a wall,
or used as a countertop unit by attaching legs to the base. The serial plate is located under the Cheese Melter bottom
grease drawer at the front, toward the left (see Figure 1 below).
Read these instructions carefully before attempting installation. Installation and initial startup should be performed by
a qualified installer. Unless the installation instructions for this product are followed by a qualified service technician (a
person experienced in and knowledgeable of the installation of commercial gas and/or electric cooking equipment)
then the terms and conditions on the Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty will be rendered void and no warranty of any
kind shall apply.
