Installation

Oven Description and Specications

Cooking in a convection oven differs from cooking in a
conventional deck or range oven since heated air is con­stantly recirculated over the product by a fan in an en­closed chamber. The moving air continually strips away

the layer of cool air surrounding the product, quickly al­lowing the heat to penetrate. The result is a high qual-

ity product, cooked at a lower temperature in a shorter
amount of time.

NOTE: *Electric connection wiring is sized for good copper wire at 125% of rated input. Refer to this manual for electrical

connection specications.

NOTE: Double units can have phase loads partially equalized by matching lines during hook-up. Otherwise double unit load

ratings are twice the above data.

PHASE

Blodgett convection ovens represent the latest advance­ment in energy efciency, reliability, and ease of opera­tion. Heat normally lost, is recirculated within the cooking
chamber before being vented from the oven: resulting in
substantial reductions in energy consumption and en­hanced oven performance.

Installation

Oven Location

The well planned and proper placement of your oven will
result in long term operator convenience and satisfactory
performance.

The XCEL-50EC requires 0” (0 cm) clearances between

the oven sides and back and any combustible or non­combustible construction. However, we recommend that

adequate clearance be maintained for proper servicing.

Keep the oven area free and clear of all combustibles
such as paper, cardboard, and ammable liquids and sol­vents.

To ensure proper operation, ventilation must not be ob­structed in any way. Tripping of the blower motor thermal
overload protective device is caused by excessive ambi­ent temperature on the control side of the oven resulting
from insufcient ventilation. This condition must be cor­rected immediately to avoid permanent damage to the
oven.

Before making any utility connections to this oven, check

the rating plate to be sure the oven specications are

compatible with the electrical services supplied for the
oven.

1. Pull out control panel. The rating plate attached to the
inside of the control compartment.

ADJUSTMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH INITIAL
INSTALLATION

Each oven, and its component parts, have been thorough­ly tested and inspected prior to shipment. However, it is
often necessary to further test or adjust the oven as part
of a normal and proper installation. These adjustments
are the responsibility of the installer, or dealer. Since
these adjustments are not considered defects in mate­rial or workmanship, they are not covered by the Original

Equipment Warranty. They include, but are not limited to:

• leveling

• tightening of fasteners.

No installation should be considered complete without

proper inspection, and if necessary, adjustment by quali­ed installation or service personnel.
