Blodgett infrared broilers broil in half the time with 1/3 less gas than ordi­nary broilers. The burners reach operating temperature in just 90 seconds,
and their intense infrared energy quickly heats the food, not the surround­ing air. The broiling grid adjusts to four heights, and rolls out for easy
access. A blower delivers fresh, filtered air to prevent smoke and vapors
from affecting broiling efficiency. An overhead warming oven is heated by
the broiler flue gases (or by an optional electric heating element). The base
can be either a convection oven or a standard oven. Battery-design assis­tance is available!

INFRARED SECTIONAL BROILERS

SHORT FORM SPECIFICATIONS

The item shall be an infrared broiler with an overhead warming oven with a (standard oven) (convection oven) sectional base. The broiler burners shall total 104,000 BTU with separate
controls. The (front and sides/front, sides and back) shall be constructed of 430 stainless steel #3 polish. The lining and burner boxes shall be fully insulated. The roll-out broiler grid shall
be 24-1/2” wide and 28” deep and have four height positions. The item shall have a 25” wide by 25” deep warming oven heated by the broiler flue gases. The item shall have 6” adjustable
legs (casters). If the item is at the end of a bettery, the end side shall be solid (rather than have a coverplate over the end of the front manifold).

Model 32A: The item shall have a 45,000 BTU convection oven with electronic ignition and a thermostat range of 150°F to 500°F (66°C to 260°C). The oven interior shall be porcelain,
measure 14" high x 26" wide x 24" deep, and have two racks with five-position side-rails with 2-1/4" between positions. The blower fan shall have two speeds and a 1/3 hp motor.

Model 32D: The item shall have a 45,000 BTU standard oven with electronic ignition and a thermostat range of 150°F to 500°F (66°C to 260°C). The oven interior shall be porcelain,
measure 14" high x 26" wide x 26.5" deep, and have two racks with five-position side-rails with 2-1/4" between positions.

OTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Exterior surfaces are 430 stainless steel #3 polish, except the back is aluminized steel.
The front 3" of the broiler grates receive less heat and so can be used as a holding area.
On oven models, a gas valve for the oven is located on the front panel above the oven. The oven control panel is located to the left of the oven door and includes an on-off switch, indi-

cator light, thermostat knob, and (on convection ovens) a speed selector switch for the blower motor. The fan motor for convection ovens is 1/3 hp, 2-speed, 1725/1140 rpm, with over­load protection. Check local codes for fire and sanitary regulations.

UTILITY INFORMATION

GAS: Each unit has a 1-1/4" front gas manifold that couples to the adjacent sectional unit(s), and can be
ordered with a 1" rear gas connection with a male NPT connector. Minimum supply pressure is 7" W.C. for
natural gas, 11" W.C. for propane. An external pressure regulator and shut off valve must be provided. If
using a flexible-hose gas connection, the I.D. of the hose must not be smaller than the connector on the unit
and must comply with ANSI Z21.69. Provide an adequate means of restraint to prevent undue strain on the
gas connection.

ELECTRICITY: Both standard-oven and convection-oven models require electric power (50Hz or 60Hz single­phase AC). 120V models have a 7-foot (2134 mm) power cord with a grounded plug. 208/240V models have
a terminal block for connection to a single-phase 208/240V source.

FLUE EXHAUST: Installation under a vented hood is recommended.
