ABOUT THE OVEN/STEAMER

Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamers are quality pro- duced using high-grade stainless steel with first class workmanship.

The two speed fan, which is guarded against acci- dental finger contact, is driven by a quiet and pow- erful motor. The condenser draws out excess steam from the appliance. Condensation and waste water, which result during steaming and cleaning, are continuously drained.

The use of high quality insulation impedes exces- sive heat radiation and saves energy.

The high performance fresh steam generator with its control system makes it possible to enjoy all of the advantages of a high quality steamer at the flick of a switch. Fresh steam enters the oven cav- ity without pressure and is circulated at high speed. This process enables quick and gentle cooking and ensures high quality food while pro- viding convenient working methods. The steam generator is completely automatic and protected from running dry.

OVEN/STEAMER OPERATION

The practical oven door, with a viewing window, has a wide swing radius and handle which can be operated easily, even with wet or greasy hands.

Ease of operation is guaranteed through the sim- ple arrangement of the controls. Graphic symbols make the appliance easy for even inexperienced kitchen staff to operate. Steam, Hot Air and Combi modes can be selected with one switch. The Steam On Demand feature allows the operator to add steam at any time for up to 8 minutes while op- erating in either the hot air or Combi modes. This feature is excellent for baking as well as roasting operations. A fourth function on the mode selec- tion switch, the Cool Down mode, allows the oven cavity to cool down rapidly with the door opened.

The steam on demand function allows the opera- tor the ability to introduce steam into the cooking process at any time.

Cleaning is kept to a minimum. The interior is sprayed with a self-acting cleaning solution which interacts with steam to easily remove crusts and stains. The oven is designed for easy care and is welded water tight so that the internal cooking cavity may be rinsed with a hose after the steam cleaning process.
