4.2 Preparation for In-Counter Installations
1. Identify desired blender location. Consider preferences such as
proximity to ingredients, proximity to customers, available counter space, and
available electric outlets.
2. Ensure potential site meets all dimensional requirements. (See
Figures 3.1-3.3.)
• ●Counter top can be no thicker than 3/4 in (19 mm). A counter top thicker than 3/4
in. (19 mm) will obstruct ventilation louvers on the upper sides of the motor.
• ●If installing more than one blender, allow 14 to 16 in. (356 - 406 mm) center-to-
center blender spacing.
• ●If installing a sound enclosure, allow a clearance of at least 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) from
the sound enclosure to the wall and 26 in. (660 mm) from the counter top to any
over-the-counter cabinetry.
• Ensure lower cabinetry allows adequate airflow. There should be at least 8-1/8
in. (205 mm) from the counter top to the next lower shelf of the cabinet, leaving a
minimum space of 3 in. (76 mm) between the bottom of the motor and the lower
shelf. Cabinetry should not be closed, but should allow free flow of air from outside
to inside cabinet space.
NOTE: The blender unit draws ambient air into the louvers located on
the bottom of the motor. It then evacuates hot air through the louvers
located on the upper sides of the motor. Ensure a sufficient amount of
air circulates beneath the motor to allow cooling. Hot air should not be
trapped beneath the counter top. Plastic bags, cups, etc. should not be
stored closer than 3 inches (76mm) from the bottom of the motor.
3. Cut a hole in the counter top 4-3/8 in. (111 mm) wide and 5-7/8 in.
(149 mm) long with the shorter side facing the operator (See Figure 4).
Make sure all space requirements and measurements are correct
BEFORE cutting.
4.3 In-Counter Installation
1. Ensure that an electrical receptacle is readily accessible when you
locate the equipment.
2. If your unit came with the optional sound enclosure, first remove the sound
enclosure lid (top). Place the clear sound enclosure bottom on the counter making
sure the hole in the of the sound enclosure is aligned with the hole in the counter top.
If you don’t have a sound enclosure you can skip this step.
