DELIVERY AND INSPECTION
All Blodgett ovens are shipped in containers to prevent
damage. Upon delivery of your new oven:
• Inspect the shipping container for external damage.
Any evidence of damage should be noted on the
delivery receipt which must be signed by the driver.
• Uncrate the oven and check for internal damage.
Carriers will accept claims for concealed damage if
notified within fifteen days of delivery and the ship
-
ping container is retained for inspection.
The Blodgett Oven Company cannot assume responsibil-
ity for loss or damage suffered in transit. The carrier as
-
sumed 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 between
the oven and any combustible or non-combustible con-
struction.
• Oven body right side - 0” (0 cm)
• Oven body left side - 0” (0 cm)
• Oven body back - 0” (0 cm)
• Single and stacked oven bottom - 4.5” (11.4 cm)
• Oven body top (for direct vent installations only) - 8”
(20 cm)
The following clearances must be available for servicing.
• Oven body sides - 12” (30 cm)
• Oven body back - 12” (30 cm)
Keep the oven area free and clear of all combustibles
such as paper, cardboard, and flammable liquids and sol
-
vents.
Do not place the oven on a curb base or seal to a wall.
This will restrict the flow of air and prevent proper ventila
-
tion resulting in damage to the oven.
• Do not place strong sources of heat such as open
flame ranges, griddles, or charbroilers near the
oven. If such an instance exists, it is highly recom-
mended to purchase a heat shield, available from
Blodgett.
• Note that if temperatures are too high, a safety shut-
down may occur.
• Failure to comply may invalidate the oven warranty.
Before making any utility connections to this oven, check
the rating plate to be sure the oven specifications are
compatible with the electrical services supplied for the
oven.
1. Pull out control panel. The rating plate attached to the
