In-Counter Machine
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 5.7 in. / 14,4 cm below the counter but it is best to allow
at least 10.0 in. / 25,4 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 4.3 in. / 10,8 cm from any wall to allow for cover door clearance.
• An extra 4.0 in. / 10,2 cm of open space above the top of the cover will be needed for
placement and removal of the In-Counter machine.
• If installing unit into a cabinet with doors, including cabinets with a curtain or extended skirt,
a 4.0 in. / 10,2 cm diameter flexible duct (dryer hose) must be used to vent exhaust. Attach
the duct to the bottom exhaust by forcing the end of the hose over the exhaust baffle of the
unit. Run the duct out of the cabinet for proper ventilation. Multiple units should not vent to a
common manifold unit but to separate places with separate vent ducts.
• When cutting holes for placement of multiple In-Counter units, position the edge of the
machines at least 12.0 in. / 30,5 cm apart to ensure quick cleaning and proper venting
between machines.
• It is recommended that for a 120 V unit In-Counter installation, you have at least one 20 amp
outlet per machine under the counter, available within 6 ft. / 1,8 m of the machine. 220 V and
100 V units require a dedicated line. Consult an electrician for proper electrical needs.
• The In-Counter unit also requires a gasket (provided in the machine's original package)
to be placed between the machine and the counter.
• Refer to the Blending Station® Advance® In-Counter template (provided in the machine's
original package) for detailed installation guidelines and a template.
WARNINGS!
Do not vent hose into a wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building or cabinet.
Do not use hose clamps or equivalent to attach exhaust hose on machine.
When removing blender from the counter, always remove the container,
cover door and back cover from the machine first. Do not strike the blender when
removing from the counter. Do not use the In-Counter gasket on a wooden counter.
Discoloration of the counter will occur.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
Do not use the In-Counter on wooden counter tops. The gasket located between the
machine and the counter will leave permanent black marks on wood. The area below
the counter must have adequate ventilation to provide air circulation around each
motor. This will prolong the life of your machine. If storing powders, mixes, sugars,
etc., around the machine, make sure containers are tightly sealed. The intake and
exhaust air caused by running the machine will disperse any loose products.

Gasket Installation Instructions
1. Follow the instructions on page 18 for preparing the counter
area for the installation of your In-Counter Blending Station®
Advance®. Also, use the Template Sheet (provided in your
machine's original package) to assist you in the placement
and ventilation of your machine.
2. Unplug the machine. Lay the machine on its back with the
motor pointing toward you. Allow 1–2 in. / 3–5 cm of the
motor base to hang over the edge of the counter top to
facilitate easy fitting of the gasket.
3. Slide the power cord through the gasket, with the groove
of the gasket pointing toward the machine base.
4. Starting at one corner of the motor base, press the gasket onto
the motor base so that the groove in the gasket seats itself onto
the stepped bottom edge of the motor base (see Figure B).
5. Working around the bottom edge of the motor base, press
the gasket onto the motor base until the entire perimeter
of the gasket is firmly attached to the motor base.
6. Carefully place the machine into the hole in the counter.
7. Be sure that the gasket is properly seated on the motor
base and against the counter top.
WARNINGS!
This gasket was designed to protect your machine from water damage and
to reduce noise. Failure to properly install this gasket could result in moisture
damage. Do not secure the machine to the counter with bonding materials.
