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 shipping container is retained for inspection. 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 between the oven and any combustible or non-combustible construction.

• Oven body right side – 6” (15cm)
• Oven body left side – 6” (15cm)
• Oven body back – 6” (15cm)
• Single and stacked oven bottom – 6” (15cm) Area must be accessible for proper servicing. 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 combustibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable liquids and solvents.
• Do not place the oven on a curb base or seal it to a wall. Either condition will restrict the proper flow of combustion and ventilation air resulting in damage to the oven.

PACKAGING
Before beginning assembly of the oven, check for all necessary components. In addition to the oven itself, legs, a proper vent, and/or other accessories may be required. 900 Series ovens are packaged as follows: Single Section Ovens The following are packed in the oven:

• A set of 27-1/2” (70 cm) legs with attaching hardware.

• Either a canopy or direct vent as specified

• Either a natural gas or propane gas pressure regulator as required.
  Multiple Section Ovens The following are packed inside the bottom section:

• A set of legs of the appropriate length

• Either a canopy or direct vent as specified

• A back pipe of appropriate length with either a natural gas or propane gas regulator attached Additional Packaging

• Ultra Rokite decks for all 900 Series are packed in a separate crate.

• The top section of multiple-section ovens will always have the crown angle in position.

LEG ATTACHMENT

1. Put the oven onto a lift with the bottom of the oven down.
2. Each leg is attached by two bolts to the underside of the oven base frame.

Oven Assembly

CASTER ATTACHMENT

1. Bolt supports to the oven with 1/2-13 hex head bolts (casters with brakes should be facing the front of the oven.)
2. Carefully place the oven onto the casters. (It will be necessary to have several persons lift the oven off the pallet and set it onto the casters). Engage brakes on front casters.
   NOTE: A fixed restraint must be provided if casters are used in conjunction with a flexible connector for movable appliances. This restraint must secure the oven to a non-movable surface to eliminate stress on the connector. If the oven is moved, the restraint must be reconnected after the oven is returned to it’s normal position.

DOUBLE SECTION ASSEMBLY

1. Place the lower section in the predetermined place of installation.
2. Attach the legs (and casters if applicable) as previously described.
3. Using two 1” boards, place one near the edge of the oven and the other at the far side of the flue collar.
4. Lift the upper section and place it on the boards. Push the top section across until the sections are even.
5. Remove the board from one side by placing a 2” x 4” approximately four feet long under the angle frame. Lift to remove the board.
6. Remove the other board in the same manner as above, allowing the upper section to come gently to rest in the proper position.
7. Install gas back pipes and pressure regulator.
8. Install the canopy or direct-type vent as appropriate.
9. Remove all tags.
10. Level the side of the oven to side and front to back by placing a spirit level on the base frame of the lower section and screwing the adjustable leg feet in or out as appropriate.

ULTRA ROKITE DECK

1. Slide the Ultra Rokite shelf through the door opening. Rest the shelf on the deflector and slide to the rear of the oven until it drops into the shelf support.
2. Refer to pre-heating instructions supplied with Ultra Rokite.
   NOTE: Because of the weight of the Ultra Rokite shelves, take care to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the shelves when sliding sections into the oven.
   NOTE: For model 981, Ultra Rokite is only available as a bottom deck. DO NOT install the Ultra Rokite in the top baking compartment of a 981.

STEAM INJECTION
As an optional feature, all 900 Series ovens may be supplied with steam jets for baking hard rolls, and Vienna, french or other hard-crusted bread. This item is also available as a kit that may be installed in the field. To a baker, steam actually means an atmosphere of water vapor. Therefore, it is very important that the steam be low pressure (2-1/2 to 3 PSI), that condensate is taken from the steam line before it enters the oven, and that the steam be sufficiently saturated to give the vapor cloud effect required. At least one quarter boiler horsepower for all large 900 Series compartments (42” x 32”) or two small 900 Series compartments (33” x 22”) is recommended. Several firms manufacture electric and gas-fired steam generators ranging in size from 1/2 boiler horsepower upward. If the steam generator is mounted adjacent to the oven, line transmission losses will be insignificant. If the steam source is located a considerable distance from the oven, line transmission losses must be considered in determining the proper size of the steam. Please refer to the accompanying diagram for the recommended installation of the steam injection system.

WARNING!!
Gas Flame in the oven must be turned off when steam is in use.

Ventilation

Blodgett gas deck ovens are direct fired. Heat and flue products from the burners are introduced directly into the baking compartment. As a result, improper venting can have a detrimental effect on the baking characteristics of the oven. A properly designed ventilation system will allow the oven to function properly while removing unwanted vapors and products of combustion from the operating area.
This oven may be vented using either:

• A mechanically driven, canopy type, exhaust hood, or
• A direct flue arrangement. U.S. and Canadian installations Refer to your local ventilation codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to the National ventilation code titled, “Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA-96-Latest Edition. General export installations Installation must conform with Local and National installation standards. Local installation codes and/or requirements may vary. If you have any questions regarding the proper installation and/or operation of your Blodgett oven, please contact your local distributor. If you do not have a local distributor, please call the Blodgett Oven Company at 0011-802-658-6600. The Blodgett Oven Company cannot assume responsibility for loss or damage suffered as a result of improper installation..

WARNING:
Failure to properly vent the oven can be hazardous to the health of the operator and may result in operational problems, unsatisfactory baking, and possible damage to the equipment. Damage sustained as a direct result of improper ventilation will not be covered by the Manufacturer’s warranty.

CANOPY TYPE EXHAUST HOOD
A mechanically driven, canopy-type exhaust hood is the preferred method of ventilation. The hood should be sized to completely cover the equipment plus an overhang of at least 6” (15 cm) on all sides not adjacent to a wall. The distance from the floor to the lower edge of the hood should not exceed 7’ (2.1m). The capacity of the hood should be sized appropriately with provisions for an adequate supply of makeup air. Capacity is generally expressed in ft3/min (CFM). 1 CFM of natural gas burned with just enough air for complete combustion produces 11 CFM of combustion products. In virtually all appliances some excess air is used. This volume of excess air is added to the flue products flowing from the appliance.
NOTE: Consult your local exhaust hood contractor for your specific installation. Installing the canopy hood draft diverter Ovens ordered for hood venting are supplied with a draft diverter. Install the draft diverter as follows:

1. Place the diverter over the flue connector with the open area facing the front of the oven.
2. Secure both ends with the sheet metal screws provided.

DIRECT FLUE ARRANGEMENT
When the installation of a mechanically driven exhaust hood is impractical the oven may be vented by a direct flue arrangement.

WARNING!!
It is essential that the direct flue be installed as follows. Incorrect installation will result in unsatisfactory baking and oven damage.

The flue must be class B or better with a diameter of 6” (15 cm). The height of the flue should rise 6-8 ft (2-2.5 m) above the roof of the building or any proximate structure.
Never direct vent the oven into a hood. The flue should be capped with a UL Listed type of vent cap to isolate the unit from external environmental conditions.
The direct vent cannot replace air consumed and vented by the oven. Provisions must be made to supply the room with sufficient make-up air. To increase the supply of air entering the room, a ventilation expert should be consulted.

Installing the draft hood
Ovens ordered for direct venting are supplied with a draft hood. Install the draft hood as follows:

1. Place the draft hood over the flue connector.
2. Secure both ends with the sheet metal screws provided.

VENTING PROBLEMS
Blodgett gas deck ovens use the natural principle of heat rising as the basic method of ventilation. If the venting of any deck oven is either restricted or forced in any way the baking characteristics of the oven will be adversely affected.
Examples of forced venting include:

• installation of a fan in a direct vent pipe

• use of a canopy-type hood without the draft diverter
  Examples of restricted venting include:

• use of tees and elbows

• long horizontal runs

If you do not have a local distributor, please call the Blodgett Oven Company at 0011-802-658-6600.

GAS PIPING
A properly sized gas supply system is essential for maximum oven performance. Piping should be sized to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum demand of all appliances on the line without loss of pressure at the equipment. Example: NOTE: BTU values in the following example are for natural gas.

You purchase a Model 911 deck oven to add to your existing cook line.

1. Add the BTU rating of your current appliances.
   Pitco Fryer| 120,000 BTU
   ---|---
   6 Burner Range| 60,000 BTU
   Deck Oven| 50,000 BTU
   Total| 230,000 BTU
2. Add the BTU rating of the new oven to the total.
   Previous Total| 230,000 BTU
   ---|---
   911| 20,000 BTU
   New Total| 250,000 BTU
3. Measure the distance from the gas meter to the cook line. This is the pipe length. Let’s say the pipe length is 40’ (12.2 m) and the pipe size is 1” (2.54 cm).
4. Use the appropriate table to determine the total capacity of your current gas piping.
   The total capacity for this example is 320,000 BTU. Since the total required gas pressure, 250,000 BTU is less than 320,000 BTU, the current gas piping will not have to be increased.
   NOTE: The BTU capacities given in the tables are for straight pipe lengths only. Any elbows or other fittings will decrease pipe capacities. Contact your local gas supplier if you have any questions.

   kPa| 1.43| 2.61| 2.74| 3.23
   MANIFOLD PRESSURE
   | Natural| Propane
   W.C.| 5.0| 10.0
   kPa| 1.24| 2.49

• Inlet Pressure – the pressure of the gas before it reaches the oven.
• Manifold Pressure – the pressure of the gas as it enters the main burner(s).
• Min – the minimum pressure recommended for operating the oven.
• Max – the maximum pressure at which the manufacturer warrants the oven’s operation.

Each oven is supplied with a regulator to maintain the proper gas pressure. The regulator is essential to the proper operation of the oven and must be installed. It is preset to provide the oven with 3.5” W.C. (0.87 kPa) for natural gas and 10.5” W.C. (2.50 kPa) for Propane at the manifold. DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR WHERE THE OVEN CONNECTS TO THE GAS SUPPLY. Prior to connecting the oven, gas lines should be thoroughly purged of all metal filings, shavings, pipe dope, and other debris. After connection, the oven should be checked for correct gas pressure. Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition, the Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2 as applicable. The oven and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45kPa). The oven must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).

GAS HOSE RESTRAINT
If the oven is mounted on casters, a commercial flexible connector with a minimum of 3/4” (1.9 cm) inside diameter must be used along with a quick- connect device. The restraint, supplied with the oven, must be used to limit the movement of the unit so that no strain is placed upon the flexible connector. With the restraint fully stretched the connector should be easy to install and quick connect. The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be a 1,000 lb. (453 kg) test load and should be attached without damaging the building. DO NOT use the gas piping or electrical conduit for the attachment of the permanent end of the restraint! Use anchor bolts in concrete or cement block. On wooden walls, drive hi-test wood lag screws into the studs of the wall.

1. Mount the supplied bracket to the leg bolt just below the gas inlet.
2. The clip on the restraining cable can be attached to the mounting bracket.

WARNING!!
If the restraint is disconnected for any reason it must be reconnected when the oven is returned to its original position.
U.S. and Canadian installations
The connector must comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors For Moveable Gas Appliances CAN/CGA6.16 and a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick- Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or Quick Disconnect For Use With Gas Fuel CAN 1-6.9. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connection and the quick disconnect device or its associated piping. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connection and the quick disconnect device or its associated piping.
