Oven Weekly Cleaning
In addition to the daily cleaning, it is necessasry to clean
behind the fan guard of this oven on a weekly basis. This
is necessary for proper functioning of the oven. Scale will
build up on the fan and heat source leading to a less ef-
ficient oven.
1. Turn off the oven. Make sure that the oven is cooled
down to under 140ºF (60ºC).
2. Remove the rack guides.
3. Rotate the screw to unlock the fan guard.

5. Thoroughly spray cleaner onto the fan and heat
source. Close the door to allow the cleaner to work.
6. After ten minutes, rinse the cleaner off. Return the
fan guard to the closed position. Rotate the screw to
secure the fan guard.
Remove and clean the blower wheel every 6 months.
CLEANING THE ExTERIOR
The exterior of the appliance may be cleaned and kept in
good condition with a light oil. Saturate a cloth and wipe
the appliance when it is cold; wipe dry with a clean cloth.
WARNING!!
DO NOT spray the outside of the appliance
with water or clean with a water jet. Cleaning
with a water jet can impregnate chlorides into
the stainless steel, causing the onset of corro-
sion.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The best preventive maintenance measures are the
proper initial installation of the equipment and a
program for cleaning the appliance routinely. The Hydro-
vection requires no lubrication. Contact the factory, the
factory representative or a local Blodgett service com-
pany to perform maintenance and repairs should they be
required.
