Installation

Oven Description and Specifications

  • Cooking in a convection oven differs from cooking in a conventional deck or range oven since heated air is con-stantly recirculated over the product by a fan in an en-closed chamber. The moving air continually strips away the layer of cool air surrounding the product, quickly al-lowing the heat to penetrate. The result is a high qual-ity product, cooked at a lower temperature in a shorter amount of time.
  • Blodgett convection ovens represent the latest advance-ment in energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of opera-tion. Heat normally lost, is recirculated within the cooking chamber before being vented from the oven: resulting in substantial reductions in energy consumption and en-hanced oven performance.

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.

Zephaire-100-G-ES and Zephaire-200-G-ES

  • Oven body right side – 0” (0cm)
  • Oven body left side – 0” (0cm)
  • Oven body back – 0” (0cm)
  • Single and stacked oven bottom – 0” (0cm)
  • The following clearances must be available for servicing.
  • Oven body sides – 12” (30cm)
  • Oven body back – 12” (30cm)
  • NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usually be accomplished within the limited movement pro-vided 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 re-straint after the oven has been returned to its nor-mal 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.
  • NSF requires 6” of clearance on the bottom and sides of the unit for cleaning. Do not place the oven on a curb base or seal to a wall.
  • 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.
  • Pull out control panel. The rating plate attached to the inside of the control compartment.
  • 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.

Ventilation

  • On gas models the installation of a proper ventilation sys-tem cannot be over emphasized. This system removes 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 Remov-al of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA-96-Latest Edition.

General export installations

  • Installation must conform with Local and National instal-lation standards. Local installation codes and/or require-ments 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.

WARNING:

  • Failure to properly vent the oven can be haz-ardous to the health of the operator and may result in operational problems, unsatisfactory baking and possible damage to the equip-ment.
  • Damage sustained as a direct result of im-proper 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 equip-ment 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 total makeup and exhaust air requirements for hood capacity should be approximately 30 CFM (.85 m3) for each oven section.
  • 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 draft diverter on the oven back and slide it up through the rectangular hole in the oven body top. Secure to the oven body back with four screws.
  2. Secure the draft diverter guard to the draft diverter with four screws.

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. The height of the flue should rise 6-8 ft (2-2.5 m) above the roof of the build-ing or any proximate structure. Never direct vent the oven into a hood. The flue should be capped with a UL Listed type vent cap to isolate the unit from external environ-mental 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. Total make-up air require-ments for each oven section should be approximately 30 CFM (.85 m3) per section. To increase the supply air en-tering the room, a ventilation expert should be consulted.

Gas Connection

GAS PIPING

  • A properly sized gas supply system is essential for maxi-mum oven performance. Piping should be sized to pro-vide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum de-mand of all appliances on the line without loss of pressure at the equipment.

Example:

  • NOTE: BTU values in the following example are for natu-ral gas.
  • You purchase a Zephaire-100-G-ES to add to your exist-ing 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
    • Zephaire-100-G-ES 45,000 BTU
    • New Total 275,000 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 capacity, 275,000 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.
  • Maximum Capacity of Iron Pipe in Cubic Feet of Natural Gas Per Hour
  • (Pressure drop of 0.5 Inch W.C.)

WARNING!!

  • A complete five minute shutdown must be observed before the oven is relighted.
  • With the optional COOK & HOLD feature, meat is roasted at lower temperatures for longer periods of time. This pre-serves flavor and tenderness and prevents over drying.
  • There are three phases in cook and hold roasting.
  • Primary Cooking – controlled by the COOK & HOLD TIMER. The meat is cooked at a low temperature until approximately 2/3 done.
  • Cooking from Stored   Heat – when the primary cook time expires, the oven automatically switches to HOLD. The product continues to cook from the heat stored in the oven. Meat must remain in the hold cycle for a minimum of 1-1/2 to 2 hours before being served.
  • Hold – holds the product for several hours before serving without loss of moisture or tenderness.
  • All meat should be completely thawed by refrigeration. Us-ing frozen meat increases the cook time causing shrink-age.

General Guidelines for Operating Personnel

Preheating the oven

  • Always preheat the oven before baking or roasting. We recommend preheating 50°F (28°C) above the cook tem-perature to offset the drop in temperature when the doors are opened and cold product is loaded into the oven. Set the thermostat to the cook temperature after the product is loaded.
  • NOTE: For frozen product, preheat the oven 100°F (56°C) above the cook temperature.

Cook Temperatures

  • Generally, cook temperatures should be 50°F (28°C) low-er than deck or range oven recipes. If the edges of the product are done but the center is raw, or if there is color variation, reduce the thermostat setting another 15-25°F (10-15°C). Continue to reduce the cook temperature on successive loads until the desired results are achieved.
  • NOTE: Cooking at excessive temperatures will not reduce cook time, it will produce unsatisfactory bak-ing and roasting results.

Cook Time

  • Check the product in about half the time recommended for deck or range oven recipes. Record times and tem-peratures which provide best results for future reference.
  • NOTE: Cook time will vary with the amount of product loaded, the type of pan and the temperature.

OPERATING TIPS Pans and Racks

  • Product or pan height determines how many racks are used. The oven holds up to ten 18” x 26” (45.7 x 66.0 cm) bun pans.
  • Load the oven from the bottom, centering the pans on the rack. Never place a pan or aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. This obstructs the flow of air and results in uneven baking and roasting.

Roasting

  • To reduce shrinkage when roasting, place meat directly on the racks. Place a sheet pan one-half full of water in the bottom rack position. The water evaporates, increasing humidity in the oven chamber. The pan catches grease from the meat, making oven cleaning easier.

Baking

  • Weigh the product to ensure equal distribution in each pan. Varying amounts of product will cause uneven bak-ing results.

Fans

  • The fan must be operating for the oven to heat. Use the Pulse Plus feature to allow light or liquid product to set in the pan and to avoid rippling towards the fan. If your oven is not equipped with this feature use the following procedure.
  1. Preheat the oven 25°F (15°C) above the baking tem-perature.
  2. Load the oven with product. Close the doors.
  3. Set the thermostat to the baking temperature.
  4. Turn the oven off.
  5. Allow the product to set for 5-7 minutes with the fan off. The residual heat in the oven sets the product.
  6. Turn the oven on for the remainder of the bake.

Lights
Turn the oven lights off when not viewing the product. Leaving the lights on for extended periods of time short-ens the bulb life considerably.

Maintenance

Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance CLEANING THE OVEN

Painted and stainless steel ovens may be kept clean and in good condition with a light oil.

  1. Saturate a cloth, and wipe the oven when it is cold.
  2. Dry the oven with a clean cloth.

On the stainless front or interiors, deposits of baked on splatter may be removed with any non-toxic industrial stainless steel cleaner. Heat tint and heavy discoloration may be removed with any non-toxic commercial oven cleaner.

  1. Apply cleaners when the oven is cold. Always rub with the grain of the metal.

The porcelain interior can be cleaned with any commer-cial oven cleaner. Be sure caustic cleaning compounds DO NOT come in contact with the blower wheel and the aluminized steel panel directly behind it.

  1. Remove the oven racks, the left and right side rack supports, the blower wheel cover and blower wheel from the oven.
  2. Soak the parts in a solution of ammonia and water.
  3. Reinstall after cleaning.

NOTE: If the oven is moved the restraint must be reconnected after the unit is returned to it’s regular po-sition.

Weekly Cleaning

In addition to the daily cleaning it is necessary to clean the air intakes, such as the blower motor, rear cooling fan and fan guard on a weekly basis. Air intakes provide nec-essary cooling air to the internal components. They are generally located on the rear and sides of the equipment.
NOTE: If the oven is moved the restraint must be reconnected after the unit is returned to it’s regular po-sition.

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.
