How far from a wall should a convection oven be?

Convection ovens do not have vents. They use a fan to circulate warm air inside the oven that heats your food evenly. If you want to vent your convection oven to the outside, we recommend a professional range hood.

There should be at least twelve inches between any style range and the closest sidewall. There are still a few additional factors to consider regarding spacing between the kitchen range and adjacent walls.

The date code appears at the beginning of the serial number. This numerical sequence indicates the month, day and year the oven was manufactured. As show in the example above, if a Blodgett oven was manufactured on January 8th, 2016, the date code will be printed as “010816.”

Blodgett Electric Ovens Ranked #1 in the world for quality and durability, Blodgett ovens sit on the strongest frame available anywhere and outlast the competition.

Although range hoods are not mandatory according to the IRC, California code requires mechanical ventilation in the kitchen that exhausts 100 CFM (intermittent ventilation) or allows 5 air changes per hour (continuous ventilation). Range hoods are a good way to meet this requisite mechanical ventilation.

Convection ovens are great for most roasting and baking needs including meats, vegetables, casseroles, cookies, pies, and pizza. Convection ovens come in a wide variety of sizes from small countertop models to large floor models mounted on legs. They can also be stacked two high.

What Made Us Great is What Makes Us Better. Blodgett is located in Essex Junction, Vermont just a short drive from where the company founder and namesake forged a cooking revolution in cast iron almost 175 years ago.

There is consensus in the industry that combi ovens offer huge savings both in electricity and gas consumption; shorter heating phase, lower cooking temperature and shorter cooking times are ultimately excellent features of such an appliance.

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate air inside of the oven. It does not require a vent to the outside. You may want a vented range hood to collect smoke and odors from the cooktop, but you do not need one for the oven.

You can have a stove on an interior wall as long as you can run the duct to the exterior wall for better ventilation. You may need to build a bulkhead (it will need to be incorporated in the design) or run the duct over the cabinets or inside the cabinets.

Does a Convection Oven Require a Hood? Most commercial convection ovens are required to be under a Type I hood, but there are some exceptions. Some ventless convection ovens are designed with a hood built into them, eliminating the need for a commercial hood.
