Blodgett XCEL-50EC Manual

Blodgett XCEL-50EC Oven for KFC
Tools Supplied:
C-shaped adjustment gauge
There are two parts to the T-latch:
Base with set screw
T-latch
Returning the T-Latch to Factory Settings
Use this procedure when installing a new gasket
Failure to follow the steps below may
result in damage to the oven and/or door
handle.
When installing a NEW door gasket,
use the C-shaped gauge to set the T-latch back
to the original factory setting. The T-latch must
be returned to the factory setting because if the
door seal is too tight the gasket may be
damaged by over-compression. If the door seal
is too loose, the oven may leak excessively
during the clean cycle and the door switch may
not operate properly.
1. With the door open, place the C-shaped
adjustment gauge over the T-latch. See
Figure 1a. Make sure the legs of the gauge
are touching the face of the oven.
2. If the end of the latch sits in the notch and
hits the edge of the notch when the gauge is
slid up or down, it is properly adjusted.

3. The door gasket on the Blodgett XCEL-50EC
Grilled Chicken oven may shrink slightly as it
ages. Therefore, it may be necessary to adjust
the T-latch for the door handle to reduce
leakage during the clean cycle and extend the
life of your gasket. Use the following procedure
to adjust the T-latch on the XCEL-50EC oven.
