Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating any commercial kitchen equipment. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in property damage, injury, or death. Keep this manual accessible for future reference.

Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your Blodgett convection oven. Installation must be performed by a licensed and qualified technician.

1. Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove the oven from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and your supplier. Retain all packaging materials for inspection if damage is found.

2. Location and Clearance

Place the oven on a level, non-combustible surface. Ensure adequate clearances from combustible walls and materials as specified by local fire codes and the oven's data plate. Proper ventilation is essential for exhaust and air circulation.

3. Gas Connection

This oven operates on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The gas supply line must be sized to provide sufficient gas pressure and volume for the oven's BTU rating. A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas line ahead of the oven. All connections must be leak-tested after installation.

4. Electrical Connection

Connect the oven to a dedicated electrical circuit as specified on the oven's data plate. Ensure the voltage and amperage match the oven's requirements. The oven must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.

5. Initial Startup

Before first use, clean the interior of the oven. Turn on the gas and electrical supply. Follow the operating instructions to preheat the oven to a high temperature (e.g., 450°F / 232°C) for approximately 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing oils or residues. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.
