Oven Description and Specifications

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 conĆ
tinually strips away the layer of cool air surroundĆ
ing the product, quickly allowing the heat to peneĆ
trate. The result is a high quality product, cooked
at a lower temperature in a shorter amount of time.

NOTE: *Electric connection wiring is sized for 90_C copper wire at 125% of rated input. Refer to Page 4

in this manual for Electrical Connection specifications.

NOTE: Double units can have phase loads partially equalized by matching lines during hookĆup. Otherwise

double unit load ratings are twice the above data.

Blodgett convection ovens represent the latest adĆ
vancement in energy efficiency, reliability, and
ease of operation. Heat normally lost, is recircuĆ
lated within the cooking chamber before being
vented from the oven: resulting in substantial reĆ
ductions 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 XCELĆ50EC requires 0" (0 cm) clearances beĆ
tween the oven sides and back and any combusĆ
tible or nonĆcombustible construction. However,
we recommend that adequate clearance be mainĆ
tained for proper servicing.

Keep the oven area free and clear of all combusĆ
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
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 insufficient
ventilation. This condition must be corrected imĆ
mediately to avoid permanent damage to the
oven.

Before making any utility connections to this
oven, check the rating plate to be sure the oven
specifications are compatible with the electriĆ
cal services supplied for the oven.

NOTE: The rating plate is attached to the back of

the oven.

ADJUSTMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH INITIAL
INSTALLATION

Each oven, and its component parts, have been
thoroughly tested and inspected prior to shipĆ
ment. However, it is often necessary to further test
or adjust the oven as part of a normal and proper
installation. These adjustments are the responsiĆ
bility of the installer, or dealer. Since these adjustĆ
ments are not considered defects in material or
workmanship, they are not covered by the Original
Equipment Warranty. They include, but are not
limited to:

D leveling
D tightening of fasteners.

No installation should be considered complete
without proper inspection, and if necessary, adĆ
justment by qualified installation or service perĆ
sonnel.
