Delivery and Location
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 - 6” (15 cm)
• Oven body left side - 6” (15 cm)
• Oven body back - 6” (15 cm)
• Oven body bottom - 4.5” (11.4 cm)
The following clearances must be available for servicing.
• Oven body sides - 12” (30 cm)
• Oven body back - 12” (30 cm)
NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usually
be accomplished within the limited movement
provided by the gas hose restraint. If the oven
needs to be moved further 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
returned 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.
• Place the oven in an area that is free of drafts.
• Keep the oven area free and clear of all combus-
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
liquids and solvents.
• 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 motor’s
thermal overload device is caused by an excessive
ambient temperature on the right side of the oven.
This condition must be corrected to prevent perma-
nent damage to the oven.
• The location must provide adequate clearance for
the air opening into the combustion chamber.
Before making any utility connections to this oven, check
the rating plate to be sure the oven specifications are
compatible with the gas and electrical services supplied
for the oven.
1. Pull out control panel. The rating plate attached to the
inside of the control compartment.
