Installation; Delivery And Location - Blodgett XR8-G Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

DELIVERY AND INSPECTION
All Blodgett ovens are shipped in containers to
prevent damage. Upon delivery of your new oven:
Inspect the shipping container for external dam-
D
age. Any evidence of damage should be noted
on the delivery receipt which must be signed by
the driver.
Uncrate the oven and check for internal dam-
D
age. Carriers will accept claims for concealed
damage if notified within fifteen days of delivery
and the shipping container is retained for in-
spection.
The Blodgett Oven Company cannot assume
responsibility for loss or damage suffered in
transit. The carrier assumed full responsibility
for delivery in good order when the shipment
was accepted. We are, however, prepared to
assist you if filing a claim is necessary.

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 be-
tween the oven and any combustible or non-com-
bustible construction.
Oven body right side --- 0" (0 cm)
D
Oven body left side --- 0" (0 cm)
D
Oven body back --- 0" (0 cm)
D
Oven top --- 12" (30.5 cm)
D
The following clearances must be available for ser-
vicing.
Oven body sides --- 12" (30 cm)
D

NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usu-
ally be accomplished within the limited
movement provided by the gas hose re-
straint. If the oven needs to be moved fur-
ther from the wall, the gas must first be
turned off and disconnected from the oven
before removing the restraint. Reconnect
the restraint after the oven has been re-
turned to its normal position.

Installation

It is essential that an adequate air supply to the
oven be maintained to provide a sufficient flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
Place the oven in an area that is free of drafts.
D
Keep the oven area free and clear of all combus-
D
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
liquids and solvents.
Do not place the oven on a curb base or seal to
D
a wall. This will restrict the flow of air and prevent
proper ventilation. Tripping of the blower mo-
tor's thermal overload device is caused by an
excessive ambient temperature on the right
side of the oven. This condition must be cor-
rected to prevent permanent damage to the
oven.
The location must provide adequate clearance for
D
the air opening into the burners.
Before making any utility connections to this oven,
check the rating plate to be sure the oven specifi-
cations are compatible with the gas and electrical
services supplied for the oven.
1. The rating plate is located behind the control
panel.
2. Remove the two screws on the right side of the
control panel.
3. Pull the control panel toward the right side of
the oven.
4. Pull the control panel away from the oven and
rotate out.
5. Reverse steps 2-4 to close the control panel.
