17. Installation for a 120 VAC unit requires you to have at least one 20 amp

outlet per machine, available within six feet of the Blending Station MP.

220 VAC and 100 VAC units require a dedicated line. Consult an

electrician for proper electrical needs.

Enjoy the safety of this grounded appliance.The Blending Station MP

U.S. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which

mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (FigureA). This cord will vary

for countries outside the United States.

Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.

Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded

through the building wiring. With a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet,

ground the Blending Station MP by attaching the tab on the adapter to the

wall outlet cover by means of the screw in the center of the cover (Figure B).

the machine. (Figure D)

c. From the rear of the machine, firmly push the bottom of the cover forward

(towards the control panel), keeping the bottom edge of the cover against

the motor base. DO NOT tilt or strike the cover during removal.

d. Slide forward until the side latches on the front of the cover are released

fromthemotorbase.DO NOT strike the cover to “pop” the side latches

from their tracks. Doing so will cause damage. The cover must only

be removed by sliding it forward (towards the Control Panel).

Preparing the counter area:

•Before cutting holes, make sure that there is adequate clearance under the counter

for the motor.The motor will extend about 5-2/3" (14.4 cm) below the counter but

it is best to allow at least 10" (25.5 cm) from the under-counter to shelves or any

other equipment under the counter.Also, when using the removable cover design,

the back of the hole must be at least 6" (15.2 cm) from any wall to allow for cover

door clearance.

•An extra 6.5" (16.5 cm) of open space above the top of the cover will be needed

forplacementandremovaloftheIn-Countermachineandforcustomprogramming

the six PRE-SET buttons.

•If installing unit into a closed cabinet, use a 4" dia. (10 cm) flexible vinyl duct (dryer

hose) to vent exhaust.Attach the vinyl duct to the bottom of your In-Counter

Blending Station®MP by forcing the end of the hose overtheexhaustbaffle of the

unit. Runthe vinylduct outof thecabinet forproper ventilation. Do not vent hose

into a wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building. Multiple units should not

vent to a common manifold unit but to separateplaces.If runningyour Blending

StationMPcausesa suctionon yourcabinet door,place a spacer in the door frame

to allow proper intake of air.

Donot use hoseclamps or equivalentto attach exhausthose on machine.

•When cutting holes for placement of multiple In-Counter units, position the edge of

the machines at least 12" (30.48 cm) apart to ensure quick cleaning and proper

venting between machines.

•In-Counter installation for a 120 VAC unit also requires you to have at least one

20 amp outlet per machine under the counter, available within six feet of the

Blending Station MP. 220 VAC and 100 VAC units require a dedicated line.

Consult an electrician for proper electrical needs.

•The In-Counter Blending Station MP also requires a gasket (provided in the

machine’soriginal package) to be placed between the machine and the counter.

See page 12 for instructions.

DONOT strike theblender when removingfrom the counter.
