Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance

DAILY CLEANING

Cleaning the Interior
Daily cleaning of the oven is essential for sanitation, and
to ensure against operational difficulties. The stainless
steel cavity may corrode with improper cleaning of the
oven. Use an oven cleaning detergent in conjunction with
the supplied spray bottle.
For difficult cleaning, allow the spray-on oven cleaner to
work longer before rinsing.
1. Open the oven door. Place the oven in cool down
mode. Let the oven cool to below 140ºF (60ºC).
2. Fill the spray bottle with a mild oven detergent. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners on your Blodgett
Combi. Be sure to follow the MSDS or safety in-
structions on the bottle of your oven cleaner. We
recommend the following cleaners:
Greasecutter Plus by Ecolab
EZ Clean by Cellow
Advance Oven Cleaner by Diversey-Lever
3. Pump the bottle twenty times to build up pressure.
The higher the pressure, the finer the spray. Spray
the oven interior. Turn the nozzle to adjust the spray
pattern.
4. Close the door. Place the oven in steam mode for 10
minutes.
5. When finished steaming, open the door and rinse the
interior with the attached spray hose.

6. Leave the door open overnight to vent the oven. If the
oven will not be used for an extended period of time,
place the oven in hot air mode to dry.
Cleaning the Exterior
The exterior of the appliance may be cleaned and kept in
good condition with a light oil. Saturate a cloth and wipe
the appliance when it is cold; wipe dry with a clean cloth.
WARNING!!
DO NOT spray the outside of the oven with
water or clean with a water jet. Cleaning with
a water jet can impregnate chlorides into the
stainless steel, causing the onset of corro-
sion.
Clean the air intake / cooling fan behind the oven so that
it is free of all lint, grease or other inhibitors of air flow.
Keeping this area free of obstruction will extend the life of
the components.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The best preventive maintenance measures are the
proper initial installation of the equipment and a program
for cleaning the appliance routinely. The Oven/Steamer
requires no lubrication. Contact the factory, the factory
representative or a local Blodgett Combi service com-
pany to perform maintenance and repairs should they be
required.

WEEKLY CLEANING - ALL MODELS

In addition to the daily cleaning it is necessary to clean
the air intakes on a weekly basis. Air intakes provide nec-
essary cooling air to the internal components. They are
generally located on the rear and sides of the equipment.
