Oven Description 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 con-
tinually strips away the layer of cool air surround-
ing the product, quickly allowing the heat to pene-
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 ad-
vancement in energy efficiency, reliability, and
ease of operation. Heat normally lost, is recircu-
lated within the cooking chamber before being
vented from the oven: resulting in substantial re-
ductions in energy consumption and enhanced
oven performance.

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.

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 the following example are
for natural gas.
YoupurchaseaSHO-Gconvectionoventoaddto
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
SHO-G 50,000 BTU
New Total 280,000 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 to-
tal capacity of your current gas piping.
The total capacity for this example is 320,000
BTU. Since the total required gas pressure,
280,000 BTU is less than 320,000 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. Contact your local gas supplier if you
have any questions.

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 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
10.0” 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 (13.85” W.C., 3.45
kPa).
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 (13.85” W.C., 3.45 kPa).

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. Mount the supplied bracket to the leg bolt just
below the gas inlet. See Figure 11.
2. Attach the clip on restraining cable to the
mounting bracket.
