General export installations
Installation must conform with Local and National
installation standards. Local installation codes
and/or requirements may vary. If you have any
questions regarding the proper installation and/or
operation of your Blodgett oven, please contact
your local distributor. If you do not have a local disĆ
tributor, please call the Blodgett Oven Company at

WARNING:
Failure to properly vent the oven can be
hazardous to the health of the operator
and may result in operational problems,
unsatisfactory baking and possible damĆ
age to the equipment.
Damage sustained as a direct result of imĆ
proper ventilation will not be covered by
the manufacturer's warranty.
When installed in the Commonwealth of MassaĆ
chusetts, this appliance must be interlocked with
the hood exhaust system so that the appliance
may be operated only when the hood exhaust sysĆ
tem is running.
CANOPY TYPE EXHAUST HOOD
A mechanically driven, canopy type exhaust hood
is the preferred method of ventilation. The exhaust
fan should have an interlock switch with the oven
to prevent the oven from operating when the exĆ
haust fan is not running.
The hood should be sized to completely cover the
equipment plus an overhang of at least 6" (15 cm)
on all sides not adjacent to a wall. The distance
from the floor to the lower edge of the hood should
not exceed 7' (2.1m).
The total makeup and exhaust air requirements for
hood capacity should be approximately 35 CFM
(.99 m
3
/min).
