Used Southbend Double Convection Oven Silverstar

The Southbend SLGS/22SC is a heavy-duty, double deck natural gas convection oven engineered for the demands of high-volume commercial foodservice operations. Part of Southbend's proven SL-Series lineup, this unit delivers consistent, even heat distribution across two independent oven cavities, making it an ideal choice for bakeries, restaurants, catering facilities, and institutional kitchens that require reliable, high-output baking and roasting performance day in and day out.

Each cavity is powered by Southbend's patented high-efficiency inshot burners, producing 72,000 BTU per deck — for a combined output of 144,000 BTU — to deliver fast, uniform heat recovery even during peak service hours. The two-speed Soft Air blower fan system (1/2 hp) circulates air throughout the cavity, continuously scrubbing heat across cooking surfaces to achieve even temperatures and eliminate hot spots. Whether you're baking sheet pans of pastries or roasting proteins in volume, the SLGS/22SC delivers predictable, repeatable results every cycle.

Standard Controls (SC)

The SLGS/22SC is equipped with standard SC controls, featuring a solid-state thermostat adjustable from 140°F to 500°F and a 60-minute mechanical cook timer. The control panel is positioned on the front-right of the unit, away from the heat zone, and features Southbend's patented "plug-in, plug-out" design that slides out over 17 inches for complete, unobstructed access during servicing — minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance. An oven "heat" indicator light cycles with the burners to confirm active heating at a glance, and a forced cool-down fan mode helps bring cavity temperatures down quickly between cooking cycles.

Construction & Durability

Built to withstand the rigors of daily commercial use, the SLGS/22SC features a stainless steel exterior on the front, top, and sides for long-lasting corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The oven interior is finished in a smooth, coved, fastener-free porcelain enamel that eliminates hard-to-clean crevices and supports fast, effective sanitation. Dual-pane, low-emission energy-saving glass windows are set into full 180°-opening dependent doors framed in stainless steel with a heavy-duty welded steel frame and 5/8" full-length hinge pin — designed to hold up under constant use without sagging or misalignment. A dual door seal system retains heat efficiently to reduce energy consumption and maintain cavity temperature stability.

Each oven cavity is outfitted with 11-position removable wire rack guides spaced on 1-5/8" centers, giving operators extensive flexibility in rack placement to accommodate a wide range of pan sizes and product heights. Five heavy-duty plated wire oven racks are included per deck (10 racks total for the double stack), providing a rack clearance of 28.25" wide by 21" deep per position. Interior illumination is provided by two recessed 40-watt high-temperature lamps per cavity for clear visibility during operation. The unit ships on 6-inch stainless steel legs as standard.

Electronic Ignition & Safety

Reliable, tool-free startup is ensured by a hot surface electronic ignition system paired with an integrated flame safety device. This system eliminates standing pilots, reducing gas consumption during idle periods and improving overall operating safety. The heavy-duty stay-cool door handle and fully coved interior further contribute to a safe, operator-friendly working environment.

Utility & Installation Requirements

The SLGS/22SC connects to natural gas via a 3/4" male gas connection and requires a minimum inlet pressure of 7" W.C. for natural gas. Electrical service is 120V / 60Hz / 1-phase, supplied via an included 6-foot cord with a 3-prong NEMA 5-15P plug (one per deck), drawing a maximum of 7.9 amps total. The unit is rated for commercial use only and should be installed beneath a properly vented exhaust hood. Left-side clearance from combustibles is 2"; all other sides require zero clearance. If connected to an outside flue, an AGA-approved downdraft diverter must be installed at the flue outlet.
