NOTE: Blodgett recommends 4” clearance from any heat
source on the control panel side of the oven, an
optional heat shield should be considered.
VENTILATION
The necessity for a properly designed and installed venti-
lation system cannot be over emphasized. The ventilation
system will allow the unit to function properly while remov-
ing unwanted vapors and products of combustion from
the operating area.
The appliance must be vented with a properly designed
mechanically driven exhaust hood. The hood should be
sized to completely cover the equipment plus an over-
hang of at least 6” (15 cm) on all sides not adjacent to a
wall. The capacity of the hood should be sized appropri-
ately and provisions made for adequate makeup air.
WARNING!!
Failure to properly vent the oven can be haz-
ardous to the health of the operator; and will
result in operational problems, unsatisfactory
baking, and possible damage to the equip-
ment. Damage sustained as a direct result of
improper ventilation will not be covered by the
Manufacturer’s warranty.
When installed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
this appliance must be interlocked with the hood exhaust
system so that the appliance may be operated only when
the hood exhaust system is running.
