Oven Desc iption 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 conĆ
tinually strips away the layer of cool air surroundĆ
ing the product, quickly allowing the heat to peneĆ
trate. The result is a high quality product, cooked
at a lower temperature in a shorter amount of time.
Blodgett convection ovens represent the latest adĆ
vancement in energy efficiency, reliability, and
ease of operation. Heat normally lost, is recircuĆ
lated within the cooking chamber before being
vented from the oven: resulting in substantial reĆ
ductions in energy consumption and enhanced
oven performance.

Delive y and Location
DELIVERY AND INSPECTION
All Blodgett ovens are shipped in containers to
prevent damage. Upon delivery of your new oven:
DInspect the shipping container for external damĆ
age. Any evidence of damage should be noted
on the delivery receipt which must be signed by
the driver.
DUncrate the oven and check for internal damĆ
age. Carriers will accept claims for concealed
damage if notified within fifteen days of delivery
and the shipping container is retained for inĆ
spection.
The Blodgett Oven Company cannot assume
esponsibility fo loss o damage suffe ed in
t ansit. The ca ie assumed full esponsibility
fo delive y in good o de when the shipment
was accepted. We a e, howeve , p epa ed to
assist you if filing a claim is necessa y.
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 beĆ
tween the oven and any combustible or nonĆcomĆ
bustible construction.
DOven body right side - 6" (15 cm)
DOven body left side - 6" (15 cm)
DOven body back - 6" (15 cm)
DOven body bottom - 6" (15 cm)
The following clearances must be available for serĆ
vicing.
DOven body sides - 12" (30 cm)
DOven body back - 12" (30 cm)
NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usuĆ
ally be accomplis ed wit in t e limited
movement provided by t e gas ose reĆ
straint. If t e oven needs to be moved furĆ
t er from t e wall, t e gas must first be
turned off and disconnected from t e oven
before removing t e restraint. Reconnect
t e restraint after t e oven as been reĆ
turned 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.
DPlace the oven in an area that is free of drafts.
DKeep the oven area free and clear of all combusĆ
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
liquids and solvents.
DDo not place the oven on a curb base or seal to
a wall. This will restrict the flow of air and prevent
proper ventilation. Tripping of the blower moĆ
tor's thermal overload device is caused by an
excessive ambient temperature on the right
side of the oven. This condition must be corĆ
rected to prevent permanent damage to the
oven.
DThe location must provide adequate clearance
for the air opening into the combustion chamĆ
ber.
Before making any utility connections to this oven,
check the rating plate to be sure the oven specifiĆ
cations are compatible with the gas and electrical
services supplied for the oven.
1. Remove the combustion compartment cover.
The rating plate is attached to the frame in the

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 t e following example are
for natural gas.
You purchase a DFGĆ50 convection oven 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 toĆ
tal.
Previous Total 230,000 BTU
DFGĆ50 27,500 BTU
New Total 257,500 BTU
3. Measure the distance from the gas meter to
the cook line. 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 toĆ
tal capacity of your current gas piping.
The total capacity for this example is 320,000
BTU. ince the total required gas pressure,
257,500 BTU is less than 320,000 BTU, the
current gas piping will not have to be inĆ
creased.
NOTE: T e BTU capacities given in t e tables are
for straig t pipe lengt s only. Any elbows
or ot er fittings will decrease pipe capaciĆ
ties. Contact your local gas supplier if you
ave any questions.

PRESSURE REGULATION AND TESTING
DFGĆ50 ovens are rated at 27,500 BTU/Hr. (8.1
kW) (29 MJ) or 34,500 BTU/Hr. (10.1 kW) (36 MJ)
per section. Each oven has been adjusted at the
factory to operate with the type of gas specified on
the rating plate.

DInlet P essu e - the pressure of the gas before
it reaches the oven.
DManifold P essu e - the pressure of the gas
as it enters the main burner(s).
DMin - the minimum pressure recommended to
operate the oven.
DMax - 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 egulato is essenĆ
tial to the p ope ope ation of the oven and
should not be emoved. 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 IN TALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR

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).

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. A 3/8" diameter hole has been provided on the
bottom of the oven just below the gas inlet. the
hole is sized to accept a clipĆon restraining
cable supplied with the flex hose.
WARNING!!
If the est aint is disconnected fo any
eason it must be econnected when the
oven is etu ned to its o iginal position.
U.S. and Canadian installations
The connector must comply with the tandard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, AN I
Z21.69 or Connectors For Moveable Gas ApĆ
pliances CAN/CGAĆ6.16ĆM87 and a quick disconĆ
nect device that complies with the tandard for
QuickĆDisconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel,
AN I Z21.41 or Quick Disconnect For Use With
