The new PowR Oven™ features a power burner that is located inside the back of the oven cavity. This burner technology, which is widely used in commercial ovens, provides heat directly to the cooking chamber, enabling faster preheating and overall enhanced efficiency. When the power burner is running the convection fan cycles on a low speed to promote even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity.

No, there is no additional heating element in the bottom of the oven. The power burner, located at the back of the oven cavity, provides a more efficient heat source.

All units come standard with a convection fan. It is controlled by a switch located on the front control panel. For more efficient and even baking and roasting, use your PowR Oven™ with the convection fan turned on. If you choose to use the convection fan, standard adjustments in temperature are recommended. The convection fan will always run at a low speed when the power burner is on. The fan will run at a high speed when the burner is not lit and if the convection switch on the front control panel is on.

The power burner cycles to maintain the desired air temperature for a constant and even heat. The power burner flame will automatically ignite and extinguish during this process. The blue indicator light, located on the front control panel, will turn on every time the power burner is on as the oven cycles to maintain the set temperature.

No, the cavity design, which features coved corners, and the automatic cycling of the convection fan while the power burner is running promotes consistent heat distribution for even roasting and baking.

Recommended temperatures are a great starting point. With the power burner you may need to adjust your temperatures slightly to get your desired results. In general lighter, smaller recipes such as cookies, muffins, and thin layer cakes, will cook in roughly the same amount of time as your recipe. The denser the recipe (e.g. cheesecakes, pound cakes, large meats) the faster the cook time will be verses your recipe. Consult your user manual for additional guidance.

No, the power burner located on the back wall of the cavity is the heating element for the oven.

Although the indicator light is on, it may take up to one minute for the power burner to ignite, this is normal.

The power cord is 5ft long.

The difference is the location.  An in-hood blower is located directly inside the hood, in-line is located within the duct run typically in the attic and remote is located on the roof or exterior wall.

Alternate models, manufacturers or styles of blowers are not recommended and it would void your warranty.

Air movement ratings on them may vary but based on models with comparable air flow ratings they will perform similarly.  In other words, a hood with a 1,200 CFM in-hood blower will perform the same as a 1,200 CFM remote or in-line blower.  There may be some slight differences based on duct design (length, diameter, number of elbows, etc.) but they will not usually be noticeable.

The blower CFM’s are based on the volumetric airflow ratings from the supplier, operating at maximum RPM with no static pressure and no restrictions on the inlet or outlet.  These ratings should be used as a point of reference only.  While proper removal of smoke, heat and grease may be achieved, the actual air flow will likely be less than the CFM rating.  It will be affected by the design of the duct run, size of the room being ventilation and availability of make-up air to the space.

Blower performance can be affected by many factors depending on the installation.  Performance may be affected by the duct run (length, diameter, number of elbows, etc.), type of exterior exhaust, size of the room and availability of make-up air to the space.

No.  The spring loaded flap on the HYEX remote blower is designed to keep the weather out when the blower is not operating.  The position will vary based on the speed selected as well as other factors, which can contribute to the overall air flow in the exhaust system.  This includes the duct run (length, diameter, number of elbows, etc.), size of the room and availability of make-up air to the space.

The HYEX blower housings are made of a galvanized steel which provides corrosion protection in most environments.  If exterior rust is noticed on the outside of the housing or lid, an exterior grade of a clear protective coating or paint may be applied.

3.75 amps

No.

No.

No. The hood requires its own blower system and duct run that is vented to the outside of the building. They are not to be connected to a common exhaust trunk with any other ventilating device.

We recommend that you consult with a local HVAC professional to ensure you are following all local building codes.  As a general rule we recommend the duct run be kept under 30 feet for a straight run and for every 90 degree turn in the duct run, subtract 5 feet from the total.  For example, 25 feet for a duct run with 1 elbow, 20 feet for a duct run with 2 elbows, etc.  This recommendation is regardless of the type of blower and duct diameter.

Duct needs to be made of rigid metal ductwork.  Do not use plastic, flexible or corrugated ductwork.

Some homes may require make-up air to counteract exterior ventilating appliances (e.g. bath fans, furnaces, water heaters, etc.). Bluestar does not offer any make-up air accessories and Bluestar hoods do not currently provide control connections for electrically switched remote makeup air systems. If an active make-up air system is desired for improved blower performance or necessary for local building ordinances, a separate pressure sensing switch may be added to the duct work directly above the hood to control the make-up air damper and/or fan. Customer should consult their local HVAC contractor for a stand-alone make-up air system that could be controlled with a pressure sensing switch in the duct run.

All Bluestar hoods are intended for residential use only and do not fall under the commercial classification that identifies the type of hood as Class (or Type) 1 or 2.

They are not equipped with any sort of fire suppression system, nor are they capable of being equipped with any kind of fire suppression equipment.
