DInlet Pressure --- the pressure of the gas before it reaches the oven.

DManifold Pressure --- the pressure of the gas as it enters the main burner(s).

DMin --- the minimum pressure recommended to operate the oven.

D 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 essen- tial 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 10.5” W.C. (2.50 kPa) for Propane at the manifold.

DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR WHERE THE OVEN CONNECTS TO THE GAS SUPPLY 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 (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 or less than 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).

This not only enhances cooking efficiency but also reduces cook times while maintaining consistent results. The ovens in this series are capable of achieving high temperatures quickly, making them ideal for a variety of cooking applications, from baking to roasting.

The RE Series is constructed with high-quality stainless steel, providing both durability and a sleek appearance that fits seamlessly into any commercial kitchen environment. Its robust build ensures longevity, standing up to the rigors of daily use in busy establishments. Additionally, the ovens are designed with easy-to-clean surfaces that facilitate sanitation and adherence to health regulations.

Another significant characteristic of the Blodgett RE Series is its intuitive control system. Featuring a user-friendly digital interface, operators can easily set cooking times, temperatures, and modes. This level of control allows for precise cooking, ensuring that dishes are prepared to perfection every time. Programmable recipes can also be stored, enabling consistency across multiple batches and minimizing the risk of human error.

Efficiency is a key focus of the RE Series, with models equipped to reduce energy consumption while maintaining high performance. The ovens are designed with insulation that minimizes heat loss, allowing for quicker preheating times and reduced energy usage over time. This not only benefits the environment but also helps reduce operating costs for foodservice operators.

Furthermore, the Blodgett RE Series offers versatility with various configuration options, including different sizes and rack capacities. This adaptability allows kitchen staff to use the ovens for a wide range of menu items, from pizzas to pastries, making it a valuable addition to any establishment, whether a small café or a large restaurant.

In summary, the Blodgett RE Series combines advanced cooking technology, durability, and user-friendly features to create an exceptional line of commercial ovens. With its focus on performance and efficiency, it is a reliable choice for foodservice professionals seeking to enhance their kitchen operations.
