Delivery and Location
DELIVERY AND INSPECTION
All Blodgett ovens are shipped in containers to
prevent damage. Upon delivery of your new oven:
D
Inspect the shipping container for external damĆ
age. Any evidence of damage should be noted
on the delivery receipt which must be signed by
the driver.
D
Uncrate the oven and check for internal damĆ
age. Carriers will accept claims for concealed
damage if notified within fifteen days of delivery
and the shipping container is retained for inĆ
spection.
The Blodgett Oven Company cannot assume
responsibility for loss or damage suffered in
transit. The carrier assumed full responsibility
for delivery in good order when the shipment
was accepted. We are, however, prepared to
assist you if filing a claim is necessary.
OVEN LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your
oven will result in long term operator convenience
and satisfactory performance.
The following clearances must be maintained beĆ
tween the oven and any combustible or nonĆcomĆ
bustible construction.
D
Oven body right side - 6" (15 cm)
D
Oven body left side - 6" (15 cm)
D
Oven body back - 6" (15 cm)
D
Oven body bottom - 4.5" (11.4 cm)
The following clearances must be available for serĆ
vicing.
D
Oven body sides - 12" (30 cm)
D
Oven body back - 12" (30 cm)
NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usuĆ
ally be accomplished within the limited
movement provided by the gas hose reĆ
straint. If the oven needs to be moved furĆ
ther from the wall, the gas must first be
turned off and disconnected from the oven
before removing the restraint. Reconnect
the restraint after the oven has been reĆ
turned to its normal position.
It is essential that an adequate air supply to the
oven be maintained to provide a sufficient flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
D
Place the oven in an area that is free of drafts.
D
Keep the oven area free and clear of all combusĆ
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
liquids and solvents.
D
Do not place the oven on a curb base or seal to
a wall. This will restrict the flow of air and prevent
proper ventilation. Tripping of the blower moĆ
tor's thermal overload device is caused by an
excessive ambient temperature on the right
side of the oven. This condition must be corĆ
rected to prevent permanent damage to the
oven.
D
The location must provide adequate clearance
for the air opening into the combustion chamĆ
ber.
Before making any utility connections to this oven,
check the rating plate to be sure the oven specifiĆ
cations are compatible with the gas and electrical
services supplied for the oven.
1. Remove the combustion compartment cover.
The rating plate is attached to the frame on the
left side of the combustion compartment.
