5. Ensure that blender vents are unobstructed to allow proper cooling during
use.
4.2 The Tom Dickson Extreme Blender IN-COUNTER INSTALLATION
Preparation
1. Identify desired blender location. Consider preferences such as proximity to
ingredients, available counter space, and access to a power source.
(A licensed electrician may need to install appropriate power source for
the blender.)
2. Ensure potential site meets all dimensional requirements (see Figure 4).
• Countertop can be no thicker than 3/4 inch (19 mm). A countertop thicker
than 3/4 inch (19 mm) will obstruct ventilation louvers on the upper sides
of the blender base.
NOTE: The blender unit draws ambient air into the louvers located on the bot-
tom of the blender base. It then evacuates hot air through the louvers located
on the upper sides of the blender base. Ensure a sufficient amount of air circu-
lates beneath the blender base to allow cooling. Hot air should not be trapped
beneath the counter top. Nothing should be stored closer than 3 inches (76
mm) from the bottom of the blender motor.
3. Cut a hole in the counter top 4 3/8 inches (111 mm) wide and 5 7/8 inches
(149 mm) long with the shorter side facing the operator (see FIGURE 4). Make
sure all space requirements and measurements are correct BEFORE
cutting. Depending on the type and style of your counter top, different
types of equipment may be needed to cut the appropriate hole. It is
always recommended to consult with a professional before cutting.
Installation In Counter
1. Ensure that an electrical receptacle is readily accessible when you locate the
equipment.
2. Slide the blender base into the hole cut in your counter top (per instructions
above) with the LCD indicator and touchpad facing the operator side of the
counter top. The formed rubber gasket on the rim of the motor base should fit
into the hole and rest lightly on the counter top.
3. Make sure the power switch is off before plugging the unit into the wall. Plug
the unit into a separate 120 volt, 20 amp receptacle with 20 amp protection.
