BLODGETT SHO-100-G Convection Oven Installation Guide

BLODGETT SHO-100-G Convection Oven Installation Guide

Installation

Oven Description and Specifications
Cooking in a convection oven differs from cooking in a conventional deck or range oven since heated air is constantly recirculated over the product by a fan in an enclosed chamber. The moving air continually strips away the layer of cool air surrounding the product, quickly allowing the heat to penetrate. The result is a high quality product, cooked at a lower temperature in a shorter amount of time. Blodgett convection ovens represent the latest advancement in energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of operation. Heat normally lost, is recirculated within the cooking chamber before being vented from the oven: resulting in substantial reductions in energy consumption and enhanced 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 construction.
SHO-100-G

•  Oven body right side – 2” (5cm)
•  Oven body left side – 2” (5cm)
•  Oven body back – 0” (0cm)
•  Single and stacked oven bottom – 6” (15cm)
• 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 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.
•  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.

1.  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 recommended 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 system 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 Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA-96-Latest Edition.

Australia and 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

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 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 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.

Ventilation

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 building 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 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. Total make-up air requirements for each oven section should be approximately 30 CFM (.85 m3) per section. To increase the supply air entering the room, a ventilation expert should be consulted.

Gas Connection

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 SHO-100-G to add to your existing cook line.

1.  Add the BTU rating of your current appliances.
   • Pitco Fryer
   • 6 Burner Range Deck Oven Total
   • 120,000 BTU
   • 60,000 BTU
   • 50,000 BTU
   • 230,000 BTU
   • 2. Add the BTU rating of the new oven to the total.
   • Previous Total
   • SHO-100-G New Total
   • 230,000 BTU
   • 50,000 BTU
   • 280,000 BTU
2.  Measure the distance from the gas meter to the cook line.
3. 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, 280,000 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.

From the National Fuel Gas Code Part 10 Table 10-15

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 should not be removed. It is preset to provide the oven with 3.5” W.C. (0.87 kPa) for natural gas and 10.0” W.C. (2.50 kPa) for Propane at the manifold.
DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR WHERE THE OVEN CONNECTS TO THE GAS SUPPLY UNLESS THE INLET PRESSURE IS ABOVE MAXIMUM.
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.
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 (13.85” W.C., 3.45 kPa). 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 or less than 1/2 psig (13.85” W.C., 3.45 kPa).

Gas Connection
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 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.  Attach the clip on restraining cable 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/CGA-6.16 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.

General export installations
The restraint and quick connect 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 opera-tion 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.

General Guidelines for Operating Personnel

COOK TIMES AND TEMPERATURES

Preheating the oven
Always preheat the oven before baking or roasting. We recommend preheating 50°F (28°C) above the cook temperature 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 baking and roasting results.

Cook Time
Check the product in about half the time recommended for deck or range oven recipes. Record times and temperatures 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 temperature.
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.

Suggested Times and Temperatures

NOTE: Actual times and temperatures may vary considerably from those shown above. They are affected by weight of load, temperature of the product, recipe, type of pan and calibration of thermostat. Should your recipe vary, write in your proven time and temperature for ready reference.

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.
with the grain of the metal.
The porcelain interior can be cleaned with any commercial 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 racks, rack supports 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

Weekly Cleaning
In addition to the daily cleaning, it is necessary to clean the air intake on a weekly basis. Air intakes provide necessary cooling air to the internal components. They are generally located on the rear and sides of the equipment.

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 deterioration 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.
