CLEANING THE OVEN
WARNING!!
Always clean the unit when it is cold.
WARNING!!
Be sure to read and follow the MSDS or
safety instructions on the bottle for your oven
cleaner.
Cleaning the Exterior
1. Saturate a cloth with stainless steel cleaner and wipe
down the exterior.
NOTE: Heat tint and heavy discoloration may be
removed with any non-caustic commercial
oven cleaner.
2. Dry the oven with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the Oven Interior
1. Remove the racks, rack supports and blower wheel
cover (back panel) from the oven. Soak the parts in a
solution of ammonia and water.
NOTE: To remove the blower wheel cover loosen
the screws in each corner. Then lift up and
out.
2. The porcelain interior can be cleaned with any com-
mercial oven cleaner. Be sure caustic cleaning com-
pounds DO NOT come in contact with the tempera-
ture probe, heating element, and blower wheel. Let
the cleaner sit for 10-20 minutes or the length of time
recommended on your cleaner.
3. Wipe out the cleaner with a wet cloth.
4. Reinstall the racks, rack supports and blower wheel
cover.
Weekly Cleaning
Be sure the air intake (cooling fan) behind the oven is free
of all lint, grease or other air flow inhibitors. Keeping the
air intake free of obstructions will extend the life of the
oven components.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The best preventative maintenance measures are, the
proper installation of the equipment and a program for
routinely cleaning the ovens.
Annual Maintenance
This oven requires no lubrication, however, the venting
system should be checked annually for possible deterio-
ration 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 cleaning.
