Installation

Ventilation

On gas models the installation of a proper ventila- tion system cannot be over emphasized. This sys- tem removes unwanted vapors and products of combustion from the operating area.

This oven may be vented using either:

DA mechanically driven, canopy type, exhaust hood, or

DA direct flue arrangement.

U.S. and Canadian installations

Refer to your local ventilation codes. In the ab- sence of local codes, refer to the National ventila- tion code titled, “Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equip- ment”, 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 dis- tributor, please call the Blodgett Oven Company at 0011-802-860-3700.

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 dam- age to the equipment.

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 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 19 CFM 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 right side of the oven. See Figure 7.

2.Secure with the sheet metal screws provided.
