DELIVERY AND INSPECTION
All Blodgett ovens are shipped in containers to prevent
damage. Upon delivery of your new oven:
• Inspect the shipping container for externaldamage.
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 damage.
Carriers will accept claims for concealed damage if
notified within fifteen days of delivery and the ship-
ping container is retained for inspection.
The Blodgett Oven Company cannot assume respon-
sibility for loss or damage suffered in transit. The car-
rier assumed full responsibility for delivery in good
order when the shipment was accepted. We are, how-
ever, prepared to assist you if filing a claim is neces-
sary.
OVEN LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your oven will
result in long term operator convenience and satisfactory
performance.
• Place the oven at least 15.2 cm from the rear wall
and 15.2 cm from the side wall.
• Place the oven in a properly ventilated area.
• Place the oven under an exhaust hood, according to
Local andNational Installation Standards.
• Position the oven so the supply plug is accessible.
• Place the oven in an area that is free of drafts.
• Keep the oven area free and clear of all combus-
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
liquids and solvents.
• Do not place the oven on a curb base or seal to
awall. Thiswill restrict the flow of air and prevent
proper ventilation.
• For gas models the location must provide adequate
clearance for the air opening into the combustion
chamber.
Before making any utility connections to this oven, check
the rating plate to be sure the oven specifications are
compatible with the gas (if applicable) and electrical ser-
vices supplied for the oven.
• Do not place strong sources of heat such as open
flame ranges, griddles, or charbroilers near the oven.
If such an instance exists, it is highly recommended
to purchase a heat shield, available from Blodgett.
• Note that if temperatures are too high, a safety shut-
down may occur.
• Failure to comply may invalidate the oven warranty.
