INTRODUCTION

Unpacking / Initial inspection

This appliance was inspected before leaving the factory. After unpacking, inspect the
unit for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. **The transportation
company assumes all responsibility for safe delivery. If the appliance is found to be
damaged, save all packaging materials and contact the carrier within 7 days of delivery.

Move the appliance as close as possible to installation location. Remove all boxes and
packaging material from inside of oven. Remove all shipping banding from pallet and top
of range. Remove all tops and oven components from their boxes.

General

Blodgett Phoenix ranges are manufactured for use with natural or propane gas. The gas
type for each range and the BTU rate is listed on the name plate. Verify the unit is for the
correct gas type before installing it, by reading specifications on appliance rating plate.
Please read the installation instructions carefully. Proper installation is essential for safe
and trouble free operation of this appliance.

Rating Plate Location

Remove the kick plate. The data plate is located to the right of center (behind the kick
plate) beneath the oven door. If gas orifices or regulator types (gas or propane) are
changed in the field, the rating plate must be changed to reflect the new orifice or gas
type. All work should be performed by a licensed and qualified professional.

Figure 1: Rating Plate

Location

Locate appliance in an area that will make it easy to load and unload the oven and will
facilitate the movement of food orders. Read Ventilation Requirements in the Installation
portion of this manual before locating the appliance.

WARNING

THE EQUIPMENT AREA MUST BE KEPT FREE AND CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS.

Gas Connections

Blodgett Phoenix ranges are supplied with a 1-1/4" front manifold and a 1" rear tailpipe.
For rear connection, remove cap. Ranges are supplied with 3/4" gas pressure regulator.
Operating pressure is 5.0" W.C. for natural gas or 10.0" W.C. for propane gas.

** Maximum incoming pressure is 14.0" W.C. (1/2 psi [3.45 kPa])

NOTE: Gas Pressure Regulator must be installed in an accessible “cool zone” protected
from grease and debris.

NOTE: Use a pipe joint compound that has been approved for use with liquefied
petroleum gases.

INSTALLATION

HOOD AND VENTILLATION REQUIREMENTS

Combustion Air

This appliance should be installed in an environment capable of providing adequate
combustion air for the range. Phoenix range model features and the BTU ratings are
listed under GAS BURNER BTU SPECIFICATIONS table shown prior to this section.
Locate the particular model/features being installed and note the BTU output of the
features of each appliance, then add the BTU rate for all burners operating at once. IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR BE PROVIDED FOR THE TOTAL
BTU CALCULATED. Avoid locating the appliance in a tightly confined area that is
incapable of providing sufficient combustion air. Clear space MUST be provided in front
of the appliance to allow for entry of combustion air.

Ventilation

An exhaust hood with code-approved fire controls and sufficient CFM exhaust must be
provided to remove excess heat/steam/grease, etc. from cooking. The hood canopy
must extend beyond all sides of the appliance. Refer to Standard NFPA No. 96 (latest
edition) for the removal of smoke and grease laden vapors from commercial cooking
equipment. Use the BTU listings under GAS BURNER BTU SPECIFICATIONS chart at
the beginning of this manual to calculate the total BTU, and then furnish exhaust air
CFM required. Room ventilation (make-up air) must be provided to compensate for air
being removed by exhaust system. Excessive negative room air pressure will result if
this is not done. Lack of exhaust and/or excessive negative pressure will interfere with
oven and pilot light operation and result in pilot outage, improper combustion, and poor
overall performance.

BATTERY INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Ranges that are installed in a battery (two or more) must be aligned, leveled, with
manifolds leveled and connected to each other.

Care must be exercised in leveling all appliances to the same plane. This is important so
that the 1-1/4" gas manifolds located at the front of each appliance can be connected via
plumbing unions. Failure to level all appliances to the same plane will prevent the proper
interconnection of gas manifolds. If the manifolds do not line up from one appliance to
another, re-check the level and correct so that appliances are leveled to the same plane.

Install the first appliance in the position it will occupy in the battery. Align and level the
second appliance to it and connect gas manifolds together. Continue until all appliances
are installed.

CAUTION: Provisions for gas and electrical shut offs must be incorporated in the design
of the “battery” and accessible in the event the appliance is to be serviced.

CAUTION: All gas manifolds must align correctly to each other. Failure to provide proper
alignment can damage gas manifolds, pilots and gas valves.

P/N 3000012219 REV. A

Page 6

Adequate air supply must be provided for combustion air. Provide a minimum of 36" of
free space in front of all appliances. Provide adequate clearance for all air openings into
combustion chamber on all appliances.

Provide a gas regulator sufficient to supply adequate gas flow for the total BTU
requirement of all appliances that have connecting manifolds. Set gas regulators for 5.0"
W.C. for natural gas regulators and 10.0" W.C. for propane gas regulators.

Plate shelves and high shelves are adjustable and can be locked together with standard
3/8" bolts.

When installed and individually connected to the gas supply, each appliance must have
its own shutoff valve for servicing of the appliance.

ADJUSTABLE LEGS INSTALLATION

Raise the appliance above the floor. In the bottom plate of the appliance, locate the 5/8"
nuts that are welded into the bottom plate. Thread each of the legs into these nuts
tightly. Check that leg height adjustment operates freely.

OPTIONAL CASTERS INSTALLATION

Raise the appliance above floor. If legs are installed, remove them. Install casters by
threading caster bolts tightly into nuts that are welded into the bottom plate of the
appliance. If supplied, locking caster should be on the front side.

Lever

Figure 2: Caster Installation

CAUTION: Caster height is fixed and can’t be adjusted. If the floor is more than 1/4"

out of level over the span of a single appliance, 5/8” washers may be added in between
caster and bottom panel to level unit.

NOTE: When the appliance is to be installed with casters, gas connection must be made
with approved connectors for movable gas appliances (ANSIZ21.69-1987 and
addendum Z21.69189) with a quick-disconnect device approved for gas fuel.
(ANSIZ21.41-1989) In addition, a secure method of limiting the movement of the
appliance must be provided to protect the connector, gas line or any associated gas
piping from excess tension or being pulled from its connection. See Figure 3.

P/N 3000012219 REV. A

CAUTION: This restraining device must always be in place when the appliance is in use.
If it is to be removed for cleaning purposes or to service the appliance, it must be re­installed before the appliance is put back into service. Per ANSI regulations Z-21.69
(connectors), Z-83.11 (commercial gas ranges), Z-21.41 (quick-disconnect devices), with
latest revisions.

RESTRAINING DEVICE INSTALLATION

Figure 3: Restraining Device

(Must be installed when casters are used)

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a separate cable and should be less than 6" away from the gas connector in a
parallel orientation.

1. Adjust cable clamps (1) so that cable length is 3" to 6" shorter than the
length of the gas connector including fittings.

2. Secure eyelet plate to structurally sound attachment such as wall stud or
other solid attachment point.

3. Attach the scissor hook to the staple and secure with cotter pin.

4. Attach the spring hook to the gas appliance.

5. ** Check to make certain that the overall length of the restraining device is 3"
to 6" shorter than the overall length of the gas connector.

WARNING: Eyelet cable and all connections to wall and appliance must be
strong and secure enough to prevent appliance movement from pulling on gas
fitting in any way when the appliance is moved.
