NOTICE
Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association,
Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to
installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations must comply with all local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1,
or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable, including:
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psi (3.45 kPa).
Blodgett Range reserves the right to change specifications and product design without notice. Such revisions do
not entitle the buyer to corresponding changes, additions, or replacements for previously purchased equipment.

LEARANCES
There must be adequate clearance between the broiler and adjacent construction due to the heat generated by the
broiler. Clearance must also be provided for servicing and for operation.
The minimum clearance from non-combustible construction is 1” on the sides and 3.75" on rear (to permit combustion
air to enter the rear of the broiler). To service the broiler components -all models require at least 6” accessibility-
clearance on the right and left side.
Adequate clearance must be provided in front of the broiler for operation and cleaning.
The high-temperature flue products from the broiler burners flow out through a vented cover on top of the broiler.
Installation under a vented hood is recommended.
