meter, main control box or service outlet to the elec-
tric appliance.
Qualied installation personnel must be experienced in
such work, familiar with all precautions required, and have
complied with all requirements of state or local authorities
having jurisdiction.
U.S. and Canadian installations

The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer
The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer offers a completely
new method of cooking. With the Oven/Steamer you have
the choice of two cooking processes: Steam and Hot Air,
either...
• Separately
• Combined, or
• In Sequence
And for easy operation you can choose from three modes:
In the Steam mode you can:
steam reheat reconstitute
stew thaw simmer
blanche 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 steam
There are four additional specialized modes to help you
make the most of your time:
Retherm - for perfect reheating
Proong - Proof and bake all in the same oven
Preheat - in this mode the oven will preheat to 575ºF
(300ºC) for 15 minutes. The oven will then automatically
lower to 480ºF (249ºC) to protect the advanced elec-
tronic components.
Cool Down - allows the oven cavity to cool down rapidly
with the door opened
You can also use two or three functions in se-
quence during one cooking process. We call this:
• combi-steaming
• combi-roasting
• combi-baking
The combination of circulating hot air and steam in the
space saving, high performance Combi-Oven/Steamer
leads to improvements in the following areas:
• increased productivity in the kitchen
• a reduction in capital expenditures for multiple equip-
ment replacement
• a wider range of menu choices
• a simplied cleaning process
The work process is simplied since products are pre-
pared 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 efciently;
pre-cooked and convenience foods can be reheated with-
in minutes. Many frozen foods can be processed with-
out pre-thawing. This exibility 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 important
than ever. Vegetables are cooked in the Blodgett Combi-
Oven/Steamer without water at the optimal temperature
of just under 212ºF (100ºC), maintaining valuable vita-
mins, minerals, nutrients and trace elements. Cooking
meat in the Combi results in less shrinkage and a rmer,
juicier product. The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer is be-
ing 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 produced us-
ing high-grade stainless steel with rst class workman-
ship.
The multiple speed fan, which is guarded against acci-
dental nger contact, is driven by a quiet and powerful
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 excessive heat
radiation and saves energy.
The BCM/BLCM makes it possible to enjoy all of the ad-
vantages of a high quality steamer at the ick of a switch.
Fresh steam enters the oven cavity without pressure and
is circulated at high speed. This process enables quick
and gentle cooking and ensures high quality food while
providing convenient working methods. The steam gen-
erator 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 eas-
ily, even with wet or greasy hands.
Ease of operation is guaranteed through the simple to
use control. With graphical symbols and storage for 50
product recipes the BCM/BLCM is easy for even inexperi-
enced kitchen staff to operate.
Cleaning is kept to a minimum thanks to the automatic
Combi Wash system.

Installation
Oven Assembly to Stand
Your Blodgett COMBI oven has been shipped with black
plastic caps on the corners of its base. In order to mount
your oven to its stand, please do the following:
1. Remove the stand from the packaging. Install the
casters or feet into the base of the stand. If inserting
casters ensure that the locking casters are at the front
of the stand, see gure. Place the stand upright in an
area readily available.
2. Remove all packaging from the oven, so that the oven
can be picked up.
3. Remove the black plastic caps on each corner by
removing the two screws holding them on. Do NOT
discard these screws; they will be used to mount the
oven to the stand.
4. Position the oven over the stand and align the corner
brackets on the stand with the holes on the oven.
5. Use the screws from the plastics caps to mount the
oven to the stand.
6. The oven has now been properly fastened to the
stand.

Strong sources of heat such as hotplates, tilting frying
pans, deep fat fryers, etc. should not be placed near the
oven, especially near its right side. An optional side heat
shield is available.
In addition, the following clearances are recommended
for servicing.
• Oven body sides - 12” (30cm)
• Oven body back - 12” (30cm)
To ensure that the oven functions correctly when installed,
it should be placed upright and level (horizontally). This is
measured at the front and side edge of the roof. The oven
can be levelled using the adjusting screws on the stand or
on the legs of table models. The height of the oven should
also be adjusted to t the trolley for rack.
