Initial Startup - Blodgett XR8-G Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

The following is a check-list to be completed by
qualified personnel prior to turning on the
appliance for the first time.
Verify there are no gas leaks, by checking all
j
gas connections with a soapy water solution.
Repair leaks if necessary.
Verify there are no water leaks to the oven. Re-
j
pair leaks if necessary.
Verify rack rotation as follows: Open oven
j
doors and turn the power switch to ON. Close
the doors and enter bake time of two minutes.
Press start. Verify the rack rotates smoothly.
Open the doors. Verify the rack stops square
to the door opening. If rack does not rotate
and fan does not circulate, door switch may
be out of adjustment.
With the main burner on, check the following:
Set the oven temperature to 300_F. Verify that
j
the oven comes up to set temperature.
Set a steam time of 20 seconds. Verify that the
j
oven water pressure is 15 psi when the water
solenoid valve is open. The water pressure
gauge is located under the right side panel of
the oven. Panel must be removed.
Verify that the gas inlet pressure is correct.
j
The inlet pressure can be checked at the pres-
sure tap located on the gas valve.
Verify that the manifold pressure is correct.
j
The manifold pressure can be checked at the
outlet pressure tap located on the burner gas
manifold elbow located on top of the oven.
If the above pressure readings are set to the
j
recommended pressure requirements, allow
the oven to burn-off for two hours with oven
vent opened. If the pressure readings are not
set correctly, turn off the oven and readjust ac-
cordingly. Then recheck pressure readings.
WARNING
The break in procedure burns off excess
oils present in the metals during fabrica-
tion. Smoke may be produced. Proper
ventilation is required.
Installation
ADJUSTMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH INITIAL
INSTALLATION
Each oven, and its component parts, have been
thoroughly tested and inspected prior to ship-
ment. However, it is often necessary to further test
or adjust the oven as part of a normal and proper
installation. These adjustments are the responsi-
bility of the installer, or dealer. Since these adjust-
ments are not considered defects in material or
workmanship, they are not covered by the Original
Equipment Warranty. They include, but are not
limited to:
calibration of the thermostat
D
adjustment of the doors
D
burner adjustments
D
leveling
D
testing of gas pressure
D
tightening of fasteners
D
rack rotation stop position
D
No installation should be considered complete
without proper inspection, and if necessary, ad-
justment by qualified installation or service per-
sonnel.
