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

There are four additional specialized modes to help you
make the most of your time:

Retherm - for perfect reheating

Proong - Proof and bake all in the same oven

Preheat - in this mode the oven will preheat to 575ºF
(300ºC) for 15 minutes. The oven will then automatically
lower to 480ºF (249ºC) to protect the advanced elec­tronic components.

Cool Down - allows the oven cavity to cool down rapidly
with the door opened

You can also use two or three functions in se-

quence 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 equip-

ment replacement

• a wider range of menu choices

• a simplied cleaning process

The work process is simplied since products are pre-

pared 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 efciently;

pre-cooked and convenience foods can be reheated with­in minutes. Many frozen foods can be processed with-

out pre-thawing. This exibility 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 212ºF (100ºC), maintaining valuable vita­mins, minerals, nutrients and trace elements. Cooking

meat in the Combi results in less shrinkage and a rmer,

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.

Description of the Combi-Oven/Steamer

ABOUT THE OVEN/STEAMER

Blodgett Combi-Oven/Steamers are quality produced us­ing high-grade stainless steel with rst class workman-

ship.

The multiple speed fan, which is guarded against acci-

dental nger 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 BCP/BLCP makes it possible to enjoy all of the ad-

vantages of a high quality steamer at the ick 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.

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 to use
touchscreen control. With graphical symbols and storage
for 199 product recipes the BCP/BLCP is easy for even
inexperienced kitchen staff to operate.

Cleaning is kept to a minimum thanks to the automatic
Combi Wash system.

Quench

Steam

Figure 3

To facilitate cleaning and servicing, the oven should be

connected with an approved exible 3/4” hose. Perma­nent installations should be tted with a stop-tap and a

non-return valve.

Before connecting the oven to water, ush the tubes

thoroughly. Connect the oven.

DRAIN CONNECTION

Blodgett ovens are equipped with a drain system that re­moves surplus water from the oven chamber. This may
be condensed water from the products, or it may occur
when the oven chamber is cooled down with cold water,
or when the oven chamber is cleaned.

WARNING!!

Connection must be carried out by an autho­rised plumber, to an open or closed drain.
The drain must never end directly beneath the
oven.

The drain must be of stainless steel or an equally tem­perature-resistant material, have a diameter of at least 2”
(49 mm) and a fall of at least 3° or 5%.

BLCP-23, 6 and 10 Mini Combi models

• 1 water connection. Must meet the requirements ap­plying to water supplied to household appliances.

2. Connect the supplied detergent tubes (red and blue)
to the underside of the oven near the rear. Connect

the blue hose to the tting with the blue sticker and
the red hose to the tting with the red sticker.

3. Insert the blue and red hoses into the proper bottles.
Red is for detergent, blue is for rinse aid.

4. BCP only - The last line is for the delimer. This is the
tan colored tube protroding from the bottom of the
oven. Cut the tubing to the proper length, if needed,
and place the tubing into the delime bottle.

NOTE: If the tube is cut to length, remove the stain-

less steel weight from the end of the tube
and reinsert.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

NOTE: Electrical connections must be performed by a

qualied installer only.

Before making any electrical connections to these appli-

ances, check that the power supply is adequate for the
voltage, amperage, and phase requirements stated on

the rating name plate mounted on the appliance.

1. The rating plate is located on the right side of the
oven.

An approved plug outlet or a safety cutout must be locat­ed close to the oven so that the oven can be disconnected
during installation and repair. The safety cutout must be
able to cut off all poles with a total distance of break of at
least 3 mm.

All appliances must be installed in accordance with Local
or National Electrical codes.

The wiring diagram is located in the motor compartment.

NOTE: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance

before servicing.

WARNING!!

Improper installation may invalidate your war­ranty.

Electric Models

A strain relief for the power supply cord is provided. The
installer must supply a cord that meets all Local and Na­tional installation standards.

Gas Models

U.S. and Canadian Installations

A power cord (115V units only) is supplied with a plug at­tached. Plug the power cord into the desired receptacle.

NOTE: The BLCP-202G must be hard wired.

This oven model uses a variable frequency inverter drive.
Appliances that use variable frequency inverter drives
produce high frequency noise and require lters and

shielded motor cabling. This causes higher leakage cur­rent toward Earth Ground. Especially, at the moment of
switching ON this can cause an inadvertent trip of the ap­pliance’s ground fault interrupter (GFCI). Some GFCIs

are more sensitive than others. Blodgett has qualied the

Pass and Seymour brand, part number 2095, 20 A, 125

VAC, 60 Hz, specication grade GFCI duplex receptacle
as being immune to the variable frequency inverter drive’s
noise. Blodgett recommends using this specic GFCI for

this model oven.

Installation

Electrical Connection and Ventilation

WARNING!!

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be re­placed by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.

VENTILATION

Blodgett BCP/BLCP ovens are equipped with an open/

direct exhaust system that removes surplus humidity from
the oven chamber. The exhaust system has an electrically
operated damper.

The ventilation motor can be controlled directly from the
oven. This means that the ventilation starts when a pro­gram is started and runs for 10 minutes after the program
is completed.

The exhaust tube can be connected to a ventilation sys-

tem. In that case, a special extraction funnel is tted to

avoid suction directly from the oven chamber. This extrac­tion funnel can be ordered from Blodgett.

If an extraction hood is installed in the ceiling above the
oven, it should project 20” (50 cm) over the front of the
oven.

Gas Connection

GAS PIPING

A properly sized gas supply system is essential for maxi­mum oven performance. Piping should be sized to pro­vide a supply of gas sufcient to meet the maximum de­mand of all appliances on the line without loss of pressure

at the equipment.

Example:

NOTE: BTU values in the following example are for

natural gas.

You purchase a BLCP-61G to add to your existing cook
line.

1. Add the BTU rating of your current appliances.

Pitco Fryer 120,000 BTU

6 Burner Range 60,000 BTU

Deck Oven 50,000 BTU

Total 230,000 BTU

2. Add the BTU rating of the new oven to the total.

Previous Total 230,000 BTU

BLCP-61G 40,900 BTU

New Total 270,900 BTU

3. Measure the distance from the gas meter to the cook
line. This is the pipe length. Let’s say the pipe length
is 40’ (12.2 m) and the pipe size is 1” (2.54 cm).

4. Use the appropriate table to determine the total ca­pacity of your current gas piping.

The total capacity for this example is 375,00 BTU. Since

the total required gas pressure, 270,900 BTU is less than

375,000 BTU, the current gas piping will not have to be
increased.

NOTE: The BTU capacities given in the tables are for

straight pipe lengths only. Any elbows or other

ttings will decrease pipe capacities. Contact

your local gas supplier if you have any ques­tions.

PRESSURE REGULATION AND TESTING

The gas pressure to the appliance must be rated for each
appliance while the burners are on. A sufcient gas pres­sure must be present at the inlet to satisfy these condi­tions. Refer to the table below for correct gas pressure.

Each appliance has been adjusted at the factory to oper-

ate with the type of gas specied on the rating plate.

Each oven is supplied with a regulator to maintain the
proper gas pressure. The regulator is essential to the

proper operation of the oven and should not be re­moved.

DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR
WHERE THE UNIT CONNECTS TO THE GAS SUPPLY
UNLESS THE INLET PRESSURE IS GREATER THAN
14” W.C. (1/2 PSI) (37mbar).

The oven and its individual shutoff valve must be discon­nected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in ex­cess of 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).

The oven must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve dur­ing any pressure testing of the gas piping system at test

pressures equal or less than 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).

Installation

Gas Connections

Prior to connecting the appliance, gas lines should be

thoroughly purged of all metal lings, shavings, pipe

dope, and other debris. After connection, the appliance
must be checked for correct gas pressure.

Gas Hose Restraint

If the appliance is mounted on casters, a commercial ex­ible connector with a minimum of 3/4” (1.9 cm) inside di-

ameter must be used along with a quick connect device.

A restraint must be used to limit the movement of the ap­pliance so that no strain is placed upon the exible con­nector. The restraint should be fastened to the base frame

of the oven as close to the exible connector as possible.

It should be short enough to prevent any strain on the
connector. With the restraint fully stretched the connector

should be easy to install and quick connect.

The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be attached
without damaging the building. DO NOT use the gas pip­ing or electrical conduit for the attachment of the perma­nent end of the restraint! Use anchor bolts in concrete or
cement block. On wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag
screws into the studs of the wall.

WARNING!!

If the restraint is disconnected for any reason
it must be reconnected when the appliance is
returned to its original position.

U.S. and Canadian installations

The connector must comply with the Standard for Con­nectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or
Connectors For Moveable Gas Appliances CAN/CGA-

6.16 and a quick disconnect device that complies with the

Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas
Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or Quick Disconnect For Use With Gas

Fuel CAN 1-6.9. Adequate means must be provided to

limit the movement of the appliance without depending

on the connection and the quick disconnect device or its

associated piping.

A drip leg must be used at each appliance. Refer to
NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 - Latest Edition (National Fuel Gas
Code) for proper drip leg installation.

General export installations

Installation must conform with Local and National instal-

lation standards. Local installation codes and/or require­ments may vary. If you have any questions regarding the
