El ctrical Conn ction
Ovens are supplied for operation on 208 volt or
220Ć240 volt installation. The thermostat, indicator
light and related switches are interconnected
through one power source supplied to the oven.
Before making any connection to this oven, check
the rating plate attached to the bodyback to asĆ
sure that the voltage, phase and KW rating are
compatible with the electrical supply. See diaĆ
gram.
All ovens, when installed, must be connected and
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-Latest
Edition and/or Canadian Electric Code CSA
C22.1 as applicable.
Wiring diagrams are located on the bodyback.
The supply conduit enters through the rear of the
oven and electrical connection is made to the terĆ
minal block secured to the panel at the back of the
control compartment. Electrical connection sizes
for a double 1400 oven are shown in Electrical

PIZZA BAKING PROBLEMS
Un v n Bak s
DOven door open too long
DImproper scaling of dough
DWarped pans
Product Burning
DThermostat set too high
DProduct left in the oven too long
Dri d Out Product
DOven temperature too low
DNot using enough water in mix

DTemperature setting too low
DExcessive door openings
DImproper preĆheating time
BAKING TIPS
DThe deck is intended for cooking pizza and
bread products, other types of food may be
cooked in pans or containers.
DScale dough for consistent product.
DProof dough to proper consistency.
DSicilian type pizzas require a longer baking
time.
DPizza in pans bake slower than those on
screens.
DAlternate use between upper and lower shelf.
DBreak bubbles that sometimes occur in baking.
(Usually occurs with refrigerator dough.)
DFrequent needless opening of oven door
should be avoided.
DRotate placement of pizza in oven.
DRefer to this manual for proper installation and
ventilation.
SUGGESTED TIMES AND TEMPERATURES
Pizza should be placed in pans or on screens
when baked in the oven.
Tim
Baking time will vary with the amount of garnish on
the top of the pizza. Generally speaking, pizzas
baked in pans should bake in approximately 7Ć1/2
to 12 minutes. Pizza baked on screens should
bake in approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Raising the
temperature to accelerate baking time is effective
up to a point. Then the quality of the bake begins
to lessen.
T mp ratur
The ideal temperature for baking pizza pies will
vary depending on the type of pie and the method
of baking. It is suggested that you attempt experiĆ
mental initial bakes at 450_F 232_C), making note
of the time required to achieve a firm crust. If the
cheese breaks down too quickly or scorches, you
should then lower your temperature and lengthen
your baking time. If faster production is desired,
attempt additional bakes raising baking temperaĆ
tures in increments of 25_F (15_C). This will enable
you to determine the highest temperature at which
you can bake and achieve quality results with
maximum production. Pull time is critical at high
temperatures. Shifting is unnecessary in most
cases.

CLEANING THE OVEN
Painted and stainless steel ovens may be kept
clean and in good condition with a light oil.
1. Saturate a cloth, and wipe the oven when it is
cold.
2. Dry the oven with a clean cloth.
On the stainless front or interiors, deposits of
baked on splatter may be removed with any nonĆ
toxic industrial stainless steel cleaner. Heat tint
and heavy discoloration may be removed with any
nonĆtoxic commercial oven cleaner.
1. Apply cleaners when the oven is cold, and alĆ
ways rub with the grain of the metal.
Clean Cordierite decks with a triangular scraper
used for cleaning broiler grids. IMPORTANT -
DO NOT us wat r or any oth r liquids to cl an
th d ck! Due to the porosity of the Cordierite,
cracking and/or spalling will often result if water is
used.
Clean the aluminized interior portion of the oven
with a mild detergent. DO NOT use caustic soluĆ
tions such as ammonia, lye or soda ash. DO NOT
use domestic oven cleaners. Any of these prodĆ
ucts will damage the aluminum coating.
Daily Cl aning
DRemove residue from beneath the doors with a
small broom or brush.
W kly Cl aning
DBrush out the control area.
6 Month Cl aning
DClean secondary air ducts and air entry ports.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The best preventative maintenance measures are,
the proper installation of the equipment and a proĆ
gram for routinely cleaning the ovens.
This oven requires no lubrication, however, the
venting system should be checked annually for
possible deterioration resulting from moisture and
corrosive flue products.
If maintenance or repairs are required, contact the
factory, the factory representative or a local
Blodgett service company.
