CLEANING THE OVEN
WARNING!!
DO NOT spray the oven with water.
Painted and stainless steel ovens may be kept
clean and in good condition with a light oil.
1. Saturate a cloth, and wipe the oven when it is
cold.
2. Dry the oven with a clean cloth.
On gas models, clean the louver openings on the
front combustion cover and rear air holes near the
electrical supply cord of any dust or grease and
flour buildup to ensure proper air flow to the burn-
ers.
On the stainless front or interiors, deposits of
baked on splatter may be removed with any non-
toxic industrial stainless steel cleaner. Heat tint
and heavy discoloration may be removed with any
non-toxic commercial oven cleaner.
1. Apply cleaners when the oven is cold. Always
rub with the grain of the metal.
The porcelain interior can be cleaned with any
commercial oven cleaner. Be sure caustic clean-
ing compounds DO NOT come in contact with the
blower wheel and the aluminized steel panel di-
rectly behind it.
1. Remove the racks, rack supports and blower
wheel from the oven.
2. Soak the parts in a solution of ammonia and
water.
3. Reinstall after cleaning.
NOTE: If a gas oven is moved the gas hose re-
straint must be reconnected after the unit
is returned to it’s regular location.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The best preventative maintenance measures are,
the proper installation of the equipment and a pro-
gram for routinely cleaning the ovens.
Annual Maintenance
This oven requires no lubrication, however, the
venting system should be checked annually for
possible deterioration resulting from moisture and
corrosive flue products.
If maintenance or repairs are required, contact
your local Blodgett service company, a factory
representative or the Blodgett Oven company.
WARNING!!
Always disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before servicing or clean-
ing.
