    I have a 6 burner part griddle South bend stove. I am remodeling my kitchen and wonder if I can put cupboards next to this stove. I think it is model 692-008

    From my brief internet search, the model number you gave is NOT the manufacturer’s model.  692-008 is an in-house model # assigned by an equipment distributor – Central Restaurant Products in Indianapolis, Indiana.

     

    If I’m correct on that, then your range is a Southbend model # S60DD-2GL and it looks like this:

    To answer your question – per the owner/installation manual, there must be 10″ of clearance between ALL sides of this unit and any combustibles (like wood).  Here’s the link to a copy of the installation manual –  http://southbendnc.com/downloads/manuals/Current/Ranges/1191904,REV2,S-SERIES,ENG,OWNERS,MANUAL.pdf.

    Although the picture on its cover doesn’t look exactly like your range, yours is one of MANY possible configurations of a S-Series restaurant range.  So…this one manual covers them ALL.

     

    So with that, I’ll throw a few other things out here:

     

    You said you’re remodeling your kitchen.  If this kitchen is in a RESIDENCE, then there are distinct issues and legalities regarding the installation of a heavy duty commercial range in a home.  The manufacturer’s specification sheet for that range states that this unit is for COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.  Not for domestic use.  Here’s the link to a copy of that spec sheet – http://images.centralrestaurant.com/images/assets/specsheets/692-008.pdf.  There are reasons why they put that there.

     

    The concerns aren’t just regarding its proximity to combustibles.  There’s also matters regarding:

    The unit’s weight The heat it puts off and ventilation required for removing that heat The exhaust gases it expells as by-products of combustion The installation manual emphasizes the requirements for a suitable hood system In a commercial setting (for which this unit was designed), a fire suppression must be in place. Last, but not least, the unit requires a minimum-sized gas line to supply it (a size of gas pipe that most homes don’t have to the kitchen)

     

    For guidance on proper installation of this commercial-grade range into a home, consult your local government regarding the regulatory codes that apply.

     

    Some implications for NOT abiding by manufacturer’s prescribed installation instructions or the local codes:

    Voiding the manufacturer’s warranty Loss of home insurance, or… No insurance coverage of an incident where losses were incurred due to a fire caused by this commercial range in your home
