ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT  
Oven / Smoker  
SOUTHBEND OVEN/SMOKER  
Southbend utilizes separate controls in conjunction with the desired air movement to supply the  
desired level of heat and moisture. When using both heat and moisture the temperature of the  
unit's atmosphere results from a combination of the heat and moisture sources.  
Because of the separate controls it is possible to have a number of different conditions:  
Heat, moisture, natural air  
Heat, no moisture, natural air  
Moisture, no heat, natural air  
Heat, moisture, fan  
Heat, no moisture, fan  
Moisture, no heat, fan  
By providing separate controls it is possible to obtain any of the above conditions. In addition to  
the above conditions, based on normal heat and moisture conditions, the use of a STEAM or  
SMOKE option offers other variations.  
The Southbend SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES Smokers are electrically powered and generally do  
require exhaust hoods. However, the ultimate decision as to hood requirements rests with your  
local authorities. The SB-5-ES stands 41" high (45" if installed with the 4" Appliance Legs) while  
the SB-10-ES stands 78" high (including the Casters). Each unit is 32½" deep, 23¾" wide and  
takes up less than 5½ square feet of your valuable floor space.  
The Southbend SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES are equipped with a positioned air flow system. This  
system allows the heated air and/or smoke to circulate completely and evenly around the interior  
of the SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES for a uniform and consistent product without having to turn pans. All  
processed product can be unloaded at the same time, allowing you to concentrate on things of  
more importance without having to remember if and when to turn pans in your smoker.  
The SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES can be used to cook, steam or smoke the following products:  
Meats  
Potatoes  
Bacon  
Fish  
Fowl  
Vegetables  
All units in this series are designed for the following:  
Automatic pan positioning  
Rapid, even processing  
Easy cleaning  
Dependability  
Low energy consumption  
Low maintenance  
Rapid servicing  
Simple operation  
The Southbend SB-5-ES has a capacity of up to six (6) full-sized 18" x 26" sheet pans. The SB-  
10-ES has a capacity of thirteen (13) 18" x 26" full-size pans. These pans are supported by  
chromed Side Racks to provide a 3½" vertical spacing between pans. Smoke is generated in the  
Smoke Box attached to the back wall of the Oven interior, or in the optional side-mounted External  
Smoke Box.  
Supplemental moisture can be added through the AUTOMIST Humidity System. The AUTOMIST  
system adds moisture by injecting a water mist into the Blower Wheel for circulation throughout  
the Oven cavity. This water injection is controlled by a Repeat Cycle Timer with a fixed "OFF" time  
and a variable "ON" time. The "ON" time is adjusted by setting the Humidity Control on the front of  
the unit. A higher setting on the Control allows for a longer water spray in the Oven, resulting in  
higher moisture levels.

An optional Programmable Control is also available for the SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES. The  
Programmable Control allows you to set and run specific programs as menus complete and total  
control of your production program.  
A Meat Probe is also available for either Manual or Programmable Control units. The Meat Probe  
allows you to use the internal temperature of your product to control the operation of the SB-5-ES  
or SB-10-ES. When used with the Hold feature of the Smoker you can load your product in the  
morning (or the night before) and not bother with it again until you are ready to use it.  
AVAILABILITY FOR TESTING:  
A prospective customer may see a unit in operation as follows:  
At an existing installation  
At a dealer's showroom  
At the Southbend manufacturing facility  
If contacted, Southbend will provide the information on the nearest location. In the event that a  
customer desires to test a unit at his place of business, arrangements can be made based on a  
specifically defined program. In the event that a customer wants to try a special product,  
arrangements can be made to determine what conditions are necessary for baking so the  
customer can determine the suitability for his program.  
COMPARISON WITH OTHER UNITS:  
Southbend will provide test data or a test unit for the comparison of results with any other unit on  
the market; however, Southbend reserves the right to have its designated representatives  
available during the test. All results of such comparison tests will be made available to Southbend  
and may be used by Southbend. As stated previously, Southbend operating costs compare  
favorably with gas convection ovens and our ovens generally do not require hoods. Based on  
production of consistent quality products from the Southbend Oven, as well as baking times,  
Southbend out-performs the competition.  
CONSTRUCTION:  
All combination Ovens in this series are constructed of stainless steel inside and outside. All of the  
frame members are welded to provide long life construction. Components such as temperature  
and humidity controls, timers, switches, motors, heating elements and other such items are  
thoroughly tested before shipment. On-going research and development projects are used to  
introduce the latest and most dependable parts.  
SHIPMENT:  
Southbend units are usually shipped directly from the factory or delivered from a dealer, unless  
sold at a show or after a test or demonstration. Unless otherwise agreed to by Southbend , freight  
is paid by the buyer F.O.B. from the Southbend manufacturing facility in Menominee, Michigan.  
Shipping time varies, depending upon the shipping point, the time of year, and shippers used.  
Usually Southbend prefers three weeks lead time, but can reduce the time, in some instances, on  
an emergency basis.  
Southbend employs accepted packaging standards to ensure that your equipment arrives in  
excellent condition. However, damage may still occur through negligent handling or accident on  
the part of the shipping company. Southbend works closely with all of its customers in tracing  
shipments to delivery and to minimize handling.

RECEIPT AND INSTALLATION  
RECEIPT:  
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE  
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed  
responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a  
claim must be made with the delivering carrier.  
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be  
signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier  
can supply the necessary forms.  
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss that is  
not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all  
contents plus all packing material.  
A. Inspect the entire perimeter of the package for damage or punctures to the packing material.  
This may indicate damage to the unit inside. Call any and all packing damage to the  
attention of the delivery person.  
B. If any packing damage is found uncrate the unit immediately in the presence of the delivery  
person to determine if the unit is damaged. If any damage is found indicate the type and  
amount of damage on the shipping documents and notify Southbend at (919) 552-9161  
immediately after filing a freight claim.  
C. Uncrate the unit carefully and check the entire unit (top, front, back and both sides) for any  
visible or hidden damage.  
D. Remove the unit from the shipping pallet and inspect the bottom for any damage.  
E. If any damage is noted after the driver leaves immediately contact the freight company and  
Southbend.  
F. Check each Oven Door. Make sure the Door closes completely, and that the Door Gasket  
seals firmly. If the Gasket does not seal correctly please contact the Southbend Service  
Department for instructions and assistance in any required adjustments.  
INSTALLATION:  
A. Check to determine that the power source is the same voltage and phase as that indicated  
on the label on the side of the unit.  
B. If you have received an SB-5-ES you should attach the included Appliance Legs to the  
bottom of the unit. Each Leg stud screws into a threaded hole in each corner of the base.  
C. Position the unit where it is to be operated and adjust the Appliance Legs of the SB-5-ES so  
the unit stands level and solid. If you have an SB-10-ES you may need to use metal shims  
under the Casters to level the unit.  
D. For the SB-5-ES: Make sure the GREASE PAN is installed inside the bottom of the unit. This  
PAN will catch most of the drippings from your product as it is processed, making clean-up  
that much easier.  
For the SB-10-ES: Make sure the GREASE PAN is installed beneath the unit. This PAN will  
catch the liquid that accumulates in the bottom of the unit while you are processing your  
product.  
E. Carefully set all Controls and Switches to their OFF positions.

INITIAL START-UP  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
F. Install the water supply if your unit was ordered with the optional AUTOMIST feature (refer to  
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION on the following page).  
G. The installing technician or electrician should complete the electrical connections by  
removing the Outside Top of the unit (this panel is pressed onto the top of the unit and  
should lift off easily). Connect the unit to the available power supply either through an  
attached cord and receptacle or through direct wiring by following these steps:  
1.Take note of the labeling on the Power Terminal Block (Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, ).  
2.Carefully identify the power source leads and attach them to the appropriate terminal  
connections. Make sure all connections are clean and tight.  
3.Properly ground the unit BEFORE USE by attaching a grounding wire to the Ground Lug  
or Clamp provided next to the Power Terminal Block.  
4.Allow enough slack in the wiring to allow for equipment to be moved about during  
installation and any future servicing.  
H. Check the voltage at the terminals on the Power Terminal Block with a voltmeter and  
compare the values with the label listings on the side of the Oven. If the values match the  
unit is ready for its INITIAL START–UP. If the readings DO NOT coincide you must call the  
Southbend Service Department for instructions on changing the voltage and/or the phase.  
I. Carefully position the Outside Top on the unit but do not press it into place. Position the unit  
in its final operating location and refer to the appropriate INITIAL START–UP PROCEDURE  
for your Smoker.

IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, FAULTY  
INSTALLATION OR IMPROPER USE MAY CAUSE SEVERE EQUIPMENT  
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, AND MAY ALSO VOID ALL OR PART  
OF YOUR Southbend EQUIPMENT WARRANTY!!!  
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION:  
IMPORTANT: Southbend strongly recommends that SOFT WATER only be used in any unit  
requiring a water supply. Also, a good quality water filter MUST be installed in-line between the unit  
connection and the water supply to guard against clogging and mineral build-up in the components.  
This is extremely important in areas having hard water. This filter may be installed at the water  
source or adjacent to the Water Inlet Fitting on the Smoker, whichever is more convenient for you.  
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the federal, state and local plumbing codes having  
jurisdiction.  
To correctly install a water supply to your SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES Smoker:  
A. Run the correct size tubing from the water supply to the unit's location; this tubing should be at  
least as big as the Water Inlet Fitting (¼") on the back of the unit. Allow some slack for final  
unit positioning and service. Avoid any kinks or strains on the tubing and place the tubing  
where it will not be damaged in any way.  
B. The tubing end that attaches to the back of the Smoker must not be damaged or deformed in  
any way. The cut end should be cut straight and clean with no deforming of the tubing. All  
burrs and sharp edges should be removed to ensure a proper and leak-free connection.  
C. Position the tubing so that the tubing runs straight into the Water Inlet Fitting. Be careful not to  
kink the tubing if you bend it, and do not bend the tubing within two (2) inches of the end.  
D. The two-part compression fitting (tapered collar and nut) is placed approximately 1" onto the  
tubing so that the collar is inside of the nut and the threaded opening of the nut is toward the  
Water Inlet Fitting.  
E. Push the tubing all the way into the Water Inlet Fitting (approximately ¼") and hold it there  
while you thread the compression nut onto the Water Inlet Fitting. Use an open-end wrench  
to slowly tighten the compression nut until it is just snug, but do not over-tighten the fitting! If  
the joint leaks when tested and further gentle tightening does not stop the leak the two-part  
compression fitting must be replaced.  
Careful attention to these simple procedures will help to ensure an installation without leaks.  
If you have any questions or problems please call the Southbend Service Department at  
(919) 552-9161.

OVEN / SMOKER  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
The Southbend SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES Smoker is designed to offer maximum flexibility for different  
products. Cooking time can be pre-set or determined by the internal temperature of the product  
through use of the Probe attachment in either Manual Control or Programmable Control units.  
Manual Control units are equipped with our COOK-N-HOLD feature, allowing you to cook your  
product at one temperature and hold it at another. This lets you finish products quickly, but still hold  
them at optimum temperatures to prevent loss of moisture and resulting shrinkage. Programmable  
Control units have this feature built in, and can be programmed for better control over your final  
product.  
The SB-5-ES is equipped with an internal Grease Pan to catch any drippings from your products and  
to make cleaning easier. The Grease Pan can be lifted out for dumping and cleaning at the end of  
the day. The SB-10-ES is fitted with an external Pan that is equipped with small ball casters. This  
Grease Pan fits beneath the unit directly under the Drain fitting in the floor of the Smoker. Remove  
the drain plug to drain accumulated liquid from the bottom of the SB-10-ES into the Grease Pan for  
removal and disposal.  
Smoke is generated in the Smoke Box located on the back internal wall of the Oven, or in the  
optional Smoke Box attached to the side of the unit. This Smoke Box consists of a stainless steel  
chip box inside of a stainless steel housing. To use the Smoke Box pieces of wood pre-soaked in  
water are loaded into the chip box, the chip box is inserted into the housing, and the Smoke switch is  
set to the ON position (or the Programmable Control is set to include a certain smoke level). Heating  
Elements contained in the housing will heat the wood, giving off smoke. This smoke is circulated  
throughout the Oven cavity by the Motor and Blower Wheel. The strength and duration of the  
smoking is controlled by the amount of wood placed in the chip box and by the length of time it is  
allowed to burn.  
MANUAL CONTROL operation:  
1) Set the POWER and FAN switches to their ON positions. Select the correct cooking  
temperature for your product on the COOK control and set the 24–HOUR TIMER to at least  
1 hour, allowing the Smoker to preheat.  
2) Prepare your product as outlined in your recipe. Load the prepared product into the SB-5-ES  
or SB-10-ES at your convenience. After loading your product set the 24–HOUR TIMER to  
the desired cooking time.  
3) Set the HUMIDITY control if you wish to add moisture to your product during the processing  
cycle.

Operating Instructions  
4) Load the SMOKER BOX with wood if you want to add smoke flavoring and color to your  
product. Set the SMOKER switch to the ON position.  
5) Set the adjustable top VENT according to your product needs. High moisture products, or  
products requiring supplemental moisture from the HUMIDITY control, require the VENT  
to be at least partially if not all the way open. Low moisture products can be processed  
with the VENT handle closed (horizontal). The VENT can also be used to help regulate  
the amount of smoke in the SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES.  
6) Set the 60–MINUTE TIMER as a reminder during short cooking or smoking cycles.  
7) Remove your product as soon as it is finished and reload the SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES.  
Repeat steps #1 through #7 as necessary.  
The Manual Control SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES come equipped with our COOK-N-HOLD feature.  
COOK-N-HOLD allows you to cook your product at one temperature and then automatically hold  
it at a reduced temperature. Both the COOK and HOLD controls must be set, along with the 24–  
HOUR TIMER, in order for you to utilize this feature.  
To use the COOK-N-HOLD feature:  
1) Follow steps #1 through #5 as listed above.  
2) Set the 24–HOUR TIMER to the required length of processing time your product requires.  
3) Set the HOLD control to the temperature you wish your finished product to remain at. The  
24–HOUR TIMER will automatically shift control of the Oven's temperature from the  
COOK control to the HOLD control at the end of the timed processing cycle. Your  
product will remain at the set HOLD temperature until the setting is changed or the unit is  
turned OFF.  
IMPORTANT: Your Southbend SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES is well insulated and will maintain the  
original Cook temperature for ½ to 1 hour depending on the product, product density and load  
size. The temperature will not instantly drop to the hold setting at the end of the timed Cook cycle.  
Plan your Cook temperature, Cook time and Hold temperature accordingly to maintain the best  
possible product!!!

The Southbend Manual Control SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES may also contain an optional PROBE  
feature. This PROBE will allow you to cook your product according to its internal temperature  
rather than a timed setting.  
To use the PROBE option:  
1) Follow the original steps #1 through #5, except set the 24–HOUR TIMER to its maximum  
(you will be cooking by internal temperature, not time).  
2) Insert the PROBE into the thickest part of your product.  
3) Set the PROBE control to the desired internal finished temperature for the product and set  
the PROBE switch to the ON position. The red PROBE control indicator light will  
illuminate to show that the PROBE is activated.  
4) The SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES will cook your product using the setting on the COOK control.  
When the product's internal temperature reaches the level set on the PROBE control the  
PROBE will activate the buzzer. Remove your product as soon as it is finished to prevent  
over-cooking, or withdraw the PROBE and re-set the controls to use the COOK-N-HOLD  
feature to hold your product at a reduced temperature.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING GUIDE  
Southbend equipment is designed to last for years of useful service. Careful consideration is  
given in selecting components for durability, performance and ease of maintenance. For  
example, the Smoker Motor has sealed bearings and never needs to be lubricated.  
While  
Southbend equipment is designed for minimum care and maintenance certain steps are required  
by the user for maximum life and effectiveness:  
•Proper installation of the equipment.  
•Correct application and usage of the equipment.  
•Dry-out Procedures performed daily.  
•Thorough cleaning on a regular basis.  
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION:  
A. Install the Southbend SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES Smoker with adequate clearance around the  
unit. This is important for cleaning and maintenance, as well as providing cooling air for  
the Motor and Controls.  
B. The installation must be on a level floor to prevent the Door or Doors from swinging when  
left in an open position.  
C. The SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES Smoker must be connected to the proper power supply as  
indicated on the equipment label.  
D. The SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES Smoker must be connected to an approved potable water  
supply in accordance with all applicable plumbing codes for your area.  
APPLICATION AND USAGE:  
The SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES Smokers are designed for the low to medium temperatures normally  
found in smoking and/or slow-cooking operations. THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO

Press the ON/OFF Key to start the Control. Select and press any programmed Menu Key to  
begin running that program. Try to select a program that does not use added moisture or  
smoke. Allow the Smoker to heat.  
D. Open the VENT completely and leave the Smoker DOOR open about 1" to 2". Allow the  
Smoker to run for approximately 30 minutes.  
E. Set the POWER switch to the OFF position (or press the ON/OFF Key to turn OFF the  
Programmable Control). Leave the DOOR slightly open (about 1" to 2") while the Smoker  
is not in use.  
THESE DRY–OUT PROCEDURES MUST BE CARRIED OUT DAILY TO HELP MAINTAIN  
YOUR EQUIPMENT IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION. THE REMOVAL OF ALL  
RESIDUAL MOISTURE IN THE EQUIPMENT RETARDS ANY CORROSION OR  
DETERIORATION OF THE INSULATION AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND  
EXTENDS THE USEFUL LIFETIME OF YOUR Southbend EQUIPMENT.  
CLEANING:  
Your Southbend SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES should be cleaned daily and as soon as possible after a  
spill has occurred. It is essential to maintain a clean unit, especially if the public views the unit in  
your place of business. The following should be used for cleaning:  
A. The stainless steel exterior may be cleaned with any good stainless steel cleaner or polish,  
or with hot soapy water followed by a clear rinse if it is very soiled.  
B. The DOOR glass may be cleaned with any good glass-cleaning formula. Be sure to wipe  
down the DOOR frame, and to clean the GASKET on the inside of the DOOR. Dried-on  
debris or heavy soiling can be removed with hot soapy water followed by a rinse with  
clean fresh water. Wipe the DOOR dry to prevent spotting. CAUTION: DO NOT USE  
ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE DOOR OR YOU MAY SCRATCH THE GLASS!!!  
C. Remove and clean the chip pan from the SMOKER BOX daily. Dispose of all ashes safely.  
Wipe up any standing liquids in the bottom of the Smoker and sweep up any solid  
particles of debris.  
D. The interior should be cleaned on a regular basis (at least two or three times a week) with  
mild soap and hot water followed by a thorough rinse with clean fresh water and a  
sanitizing agent; wiping the interior dry will help to prevent water spotting. Water spotting  
and other mineral deposits should be removed with any mild mineral removal agent as  
soon as they are noticeable.  
E. Leave the Smoker DOOR open by about 1" to 2" while the unit is not in use.

* * * CAUTION * * *  
Southbend DOES NOT RECOMMEND the use of any strong commercial or caustic product on  
this equipment. DO NOT allow any type of caustic cleaner to come into contact with any  
aluminum parts (such as the Door Frame), the silicon rubber Door Gaskets, or any of the sealant  
in the Smoker seams and joints. These caustic compounds may cause discoloration and/or  
degradation of these parts, and may result in permanent damage. DO NOT use bleach or bleach  
compounds on any chromed parts; bleach may damage chrome plating.  
NOTE:  
Southbend has had very good results with a product called JIFFY CLEANER. For standard  
cleaning simply spray JIFFY on and wipe off. Heavily soiled areas may require a short period of  
soaking. This cleaner is available through Southbend (Part #51–0002) or through your local  
Rochester/Midland distributor or representative.
