HEAVY DUTY RANGE JUST GOT EVEN BETTER

You asked, we listened. In response to suggestions from independent sales representatives, equipment dealers and end-users, Blodgett has implemented the following significant upgrades to our heavy duty range line.

  • Our convection oven range base now features a 3-way fan switch. This lets you operate the oven in either HIGH or LOW fan speed or completely turn the fan OFF. In the OFF position, the unit functions as a standard (non-convection) oven.

  • An improved motor in our convection oven base will provide better durability and reliability.

  • Oven base control switches have been changed from riveted to soldered contacts. This will greatly decrease any intermittent connection issues.

  • Infinite gas valves used on open burners, manual griddles, hot tops, graduated hot tops, charbroilers, salamanders, cheesemelters, etc. have been improved to increase reliability and durability.

  • All burner box areas and structural members have been upgraded from aluminized steel to all stainless steel construction for strength and reliability.

  • All Salamander and Cheesemelter interior liners are now fully stainless steel. Stainless steel improves the reliability, durability and cleanability of these liners.

  • In January of 2006, we implemented a STANDARD (2) two year parts and labor warranty. This warranty is the best in the industry. In July of 2007 we initiated OPTIONAL warranty extensions of (1) one or (2) two year parts and labor. These extended warranties are in addition to the standard two years.

  

Blodgett Range will continue to listen, continue to improve, and continue to provide products that deliver durability, reliability and performance to our customers.
