Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance
Interior Walls
The aluminized surface may be kept clean and in good
condition with mineral oil:
1. Allow the oven to cool.
2. Large amounts of baked on splatter may be removed
with a brass scraper, gently applied.
3. Saturate a cloth with mineral oil and wipe the oven.
4. Mild dish detergent and water may also be used to
clean the interior walls but be carefull not to spill wa-
ter on the stone decks.
5. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
6. Remove residue from beneath the oven door with a
small brush.
CAUTION!!
DO NOT use caustic solutions such as am-
monia, lye or soda ash. DO NOT use domestic
oven cleaners. Any of these products will
damage the aluminum coating.
Deck Stone Dry-Out Procedure
If excess water is absorbed by the stone and then quick-
ly heated, the boiling water expands and may crack the
stone. To prevent cracking perform one of the following
dry-out procedures:
1. Dry stones overnight at room temperature with the
door open.
2. Set oven to 150ºF for 2 hours to slowly dry out the
stone.
WEEKLY CLEANING
• Brush out the control area.
6 MONTh CLEANING
• Clean secondary air ducts and air entry ports.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The best preventative maintenance measures are, the
proper installation of the equipment and a program for
routinely cleaning the ovens.
This oven requires no lubrication, however, the venting
system should be checked annually for possible deterio-
ration resulting from moisture and corrosive flue products.
If maintenance or repairs are required, contact the fac-
tory, the factory representative or a local Blodgett service
company.
WARNING!!
Disconnect the oven from the power supply
before servicing. It is not necessary to unplug
the oven when cleaning.
