The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer
The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer offers a com-
pletely new method of cooking. With the Oven/
Steamer you have the choice of two cooking pro-
cesses:Steam and Hot Air, either...
DSeparately
DCombined, or
DIn Sequence
And for easy operation you can choose from three
modes:
Steam Hot Air Combi
Steam &
Hot Air
In the Steam mode you can:
steam reheat reconstitute
stew thaw simmer
blanch preserve braise
poach
In the Hot Air mode you can:
roast bake
grill gratinate
broil
In the Combination Steam and Hot Air mode you
can:
defrost roast rethermalize
reheat bake forced steaming
You can also use two or three functions in se-
quence during one cooking process. We call this:
Dcombi-steaming
Dcombi-roasting
Dcombi-baking
The combination of circulating hot air and steam
in the space saving, high performance Combi-
Oven/Steamer leads to improvements in the fol-
lowing areas:
Dincreased productivity in the kitchen
Da reduction in capital expenditures for multiple
equipment replacement
Da wider range of menu choices
Da simplified cleaning process
The work process is simplified since products are
prepared on or in steam table pans and trays.
Food can be cooked, stored, and transported with
the same pans. Small amounts of product can be
processed efficiently; pre-cooked and conve-
nience foods can be reheated within minutes.
Many frozen foods can be processed without pre-
thawing. This flexibility in preparation reduces the
need for kettles and steam tables since there is no
need for large amounts of food to be kept warm for
long periods of time.
Today the improvement of food quality is more im-
portant than ever. Vegetables are cooked in the
Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer without water at
the optimal temperature of just under 100_C
(212_F), maintaining valuable vitamins, minerals,
nutrients and trace elements. Cooking meat in the
Combi results in less shrinkage and a firmer, juicier
product. The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer is
being used more and more for baking. Steam and
Hot Air modes make it a general purpose baking
appliance.

Description of the Combi-Oven/Steamer
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 Oven/Steamer has optional adjustable legs
which adapt easily to slightly uneven surfaces and
optional floor stands which are designed for use
with all of the table models.
BC14E and BC14G only
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.

Oven Location and Ventilation
OVEN LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your
oven will result in long term operator convenience
and satisfactory performance.
Certain minimum clearances must be maintained
between the oven and any combustible or non-
combustible construction. See the table below.
In addition, the following clearances are recom-
mended for servicing.
DOven body sides --- 12” (30cm)
DOven body back --- 12” (30cm)
NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usu-
ally be accomplished within the limited
movement provided by the gas hose re-
straint. If the oven needs to be moved fur-
ther 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 re-
turned to its normal position.

VENTILATION
The necessity for a properly designed and in-
stalled ventilation system cannot be over empha-
sized. The ventilation system will allow the unit to
function properly while removing unwanted va-
pors and products of combustion from the operat-
ing area.
The appliance must be vented with a properly de-
signed mechanically driven exhaust hood. 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 capacity of
the hood should be sized appropriately and provi-
sions made for adequate makeup air.
WARNING!!
Failure to properly vent the oven can be
hazardous to the health of the operator;
and will result in operational problems,
unsatisfactory baking, and possible dam-
age to the equipment. Damage sustained
as a direct result of improper ventilation
will not be covered by the Manufacturer’s
warranty.
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.
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 unit, please contact your local

system directly ahead of the appliance. The
backflow protection device shall be any of the
following: an approved pressure type vacuum
breaker installed at least 12” above the highest
point of use, a double check valve backflow pre-
venter or a reduced pressure principal backflow
preventer.

NOTE: Electrical connections must be performed
by a qualified installer only.
Before making any electrical connections to these
appliances, check that the power supply is ade-
quateforthevoltage,amperage,andphasere-
quirements stated on the rating name plate
mounted on the appliance.
The circuit breaker that is used to provide power
to this appliance must have a minimum of .076”
(3mm) contact spacing. The circuit breaker must
meet all Local and National installation standards.
All appliances must be installed in accordance
with Local or National Electrical codes.
A wiring schematic is located on the inside of the
removeable side panel.
NOTE: Disconnect the power supply to the ap-
pliancebeforeservicing.
WARNING!!
Improper installation may invalidate your
warranty.
Electric Models
A strain relief for the power supply cord is required.
The installer must supply a cord bushing that meets
all Local and National installation standards.
Gas Models
U.S. and Canadian Installations
A power cord (115V or 230V) is supplied with a
plug attached. Plug the power cord into the de-
sired receptacle.
WARNING!!
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assembly
available from the manufacturer or its ser-
vice agent.

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 BC14G to add to your existing
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 to-
tal.
Previous Total 230,000 BTU
BC14G 115,000 BTU
New Total 345,000 BTU
3. Measure the distance from the gas meter to
the cook line. This is the pipe length. Let’s say
thepipelengthis30’(9m)andthepipesize
is 1” (2.54 cm).
4. Use the appropriate table to determine the to-
tal capacity of your current gas piping.
The total capacity for this example is 375,000
BTU. Since the total required gas pressure,
345,000 BTU is less than 375,000 BTU, the
current gas piping will not have to be in-
creased.
NOTE: The BTU capacities given in the tables are
for straight pipe lengths only. Any elbows
or other fittings will decrease pipe capaci-
ties. For example: a schedule 40 1-1/2” ell
fitting has an equivalent capacity of 4.2”
(10.2 cm) of straight pipe. Contact your lo-
cal gas supplier if you have any questions.
