The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer
The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer offers a completely new method of cooking. With the Oven/Steamer you have the choice of two cooking processes: Steam and Hot Air, either...
•Separately
•Combined, or
•In Sequence
And for easy operation you can choose from three modes: In the Steam mode you can:
steam |
reheat |
reconstitute |
stew |
thaw |
simmer |
blanche |
preserve |
braise |
poach |
|
|
In the Hot Air mode you can: |
|
|
roast |
bake |
grill |
gratinate |
broil |
|
In the Combination Steam and Hot Air mode you can:
defrost |
roast |
rethermalize |
reheat |
bake |
forced steam |
You can also use two or three functions in sequence during one cooking process. We call this:
•combi-steaming
•combi-roasting
•combi-baking
The combination of circulating hot air and steam in the space saving, high performance Combi-Oven/Steamer leads to improvements in the following areas:
•increased productivity in the kitchen
•a reduction in capital expenditures for multiple equipment replacement
•a wider range of menu choices
•a simplified cleaning process
The work process is simplified since products are prepared on or in steam table pans and trays. Food can be cooked, stored, and transported with the same pans.
Small amounts of product can be processed efficiently; pre-cooked and convenience foods can be reheated within minutes. Many frozen foods can be processed without pre-thawing. This flexibility in preparation reduces the need for kettles and steam tables since there is no need for large amounts of food to be kept warm for long periods of time.
Today the improvement of food quality is more important than ever. Vegetables are cooked in the Blodgett CombiOven/Steamer without water at the optimal temperature of just under 100ºC (21ºF), maintaining valuable vitamins, minerals, nutrients and trace elements. Cooking meat in the Combi results in less shrinkage and a firmer, juicier product. The Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamer is being used more and more for baking. Steam and Hot Air modes make it a general purpose baking appliance.

Installation 
ABOUT THE OVEN/STEAMER
Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamers are quality produced using high-grade stainless steel with first class workmanship.
The multiple speed fan, which is guarded against accidental finger contact, is driven by a quiet and powerful motor. The condenser draws out excess steam from the appliance. Condensation and waste water, which result during steaming and cleaning, are continuously drained.
The use of high quality insulation impedes excessive heat radiation and saves energy.
The Oven/Steamer has optional adjustable legs which adapt easily to slightly uneven surfaces and optional floor stands which are designed for use with all of the table models.
The high performance fresh steam generator with its control system makes it possible to enjoy all of the advantages of a high quality steamer at the flick of a switch. Fresh steam enters the oven cavity without pressure and is circulated at high speed. This process enables quick and gentle cooking and ensures high quality food while providing convenient working methods. The steam generator is completely automatic and protected from running dry.
Description of the Combi-Oven/Steamer
OVEN/STEAMER OPERATION
The practical oven door, with a viewing window, has a wide swing radius and handle which can be operated easily, even with wet or greasy hands.
Ease of operation is guaranteed through the simple arrangement of the controls. Graphic symbols make the appliance easy for even inexperienced kitchen staff to operate. The Steam On Demand feature allows the operator to add steam at any time while operating in either the Hot Air or Combi modes. This feature is excellent for baking as well as roasting operations. A fourth function, the Cool Down mode, allows the oven cavity to cool down rapidly with the door opened.
Cleaning is kept to a minimum. The interior is sprayed with a self-acting cleaning solution which interacts with steam to easily remove crusts and stains. The oven is designed for easy care and is welded water tight so that the internal cooking cavity may be rinsed with a hose after the steam cleaning process.

Installation 
OVEN LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your oven will result in long term operator convenience and satisfactory performance.
Certain minimum clearances must be maintained between the oven and any combustible or non-combustible construction. See the table below.
In addition, the following clearances are recommended for servicing.
•Oven body sides - 12” (30cm)
•Oven body back - 12” (30cm)
NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usually be accomplished within the limited movement provided by the gas hose restraint. If the oven needs to be moved further from the wall, the gas must first be turned off and disconnected from the oven before removing the restraint. Reconnect the restraint after the oven has been returned to its normal position.
Left Side Heat Shield
Heat sources should not be near the air vents located on the left hand side of the gas appliance.

•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 shutdown may occur.
•Failure to comply may invalidate the oven warranty.
Oven Location and Ventilation
VENTILATION
The necessity for a properly designed and installed ventilation system cannot be over emphasized. The ventilation system will allow the unit to function properly while removing unwanted vapors and products of combustion from the operating area.
The appliance must be vented with a properly designed mechanically driven exhaust hood. The hood should be sized to completely cover the equipment plus an overhang of at least 6” (15 cm) on all sides not adjacent to a wall. The capacity of the hood should be sized appropriately and provisions made for adequate makeup air.
WARNING!!
Failure to properly vent the oven can be hazardous to the health of the operator; and will result in operational problems, unsatisfactory baking, and possible damage to the equipment. Damage sustained as a direct result of improper ventilation will not be covered by the Manufacturer’s warranty.
When installed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this appliance must be interlocked with the hood exhaust system so that the appliance may be operated only when the hood exhaust system is running.
U.S. and Canadian Installations
Refer to your local ventilation codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to the National ventilation code titled,
“Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial
Cooking Equipment”, NFPA-96- Latest Edition.
General Export Installations
Installation must conform with Local and National installation standards. Local installation codes and/or requirements may vary. If you have any questions regarding the proper installation and/or operation of your unit, please contact your local distributor. If you do not have a local distributor, please call Blodgett Combi at 0011-802-658- 6600.
