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 7.6 cm below the counter but it is best
to allow at least 25.4 cm from the underside of the counter to the shelves or any
other equipment under the counter. Also, when using the removable cover design,
the back of the hole must be at least 10.8 cm from any wall to allow for cover door
clearance.
• An extra 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 the unit into a cabinet with doors, including cabinets with a curtain or
extended skirt, a 10.2 cm diameter lexible 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 bale 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 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 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 Quiet One® In-Counter template (provided in the machine’s original
package) for detailed installation guidelines and a template.

WARNINGS!
Do not
vent the hose into a wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building or
cabinet.
Do not
use hose clamps or equivalent to attach the exhaust hose on machine.
When removing the blender from the counter, always remove the container,
cover door and back cover from the machine irst. Do not strike the blender
when removing from the counter. Do not use the In-Counter gasket on a wooden
counter. Discolouration of the counter will occur.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
Do not use the In-Counter model on wooden work surfaces. 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 that
containers are tightly sealed. The intake and exhaust air caused by running the
machine will disperse any loose products.

IMPORTANT NOTES!
Cleaning Products:
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or concentrated bleach
when cleaning. Do not use any cleaners containing quaternary sanitisers on
polycarbonate components (i.e. Advance® containers, covers). Do not use any
of the following cleaning products: automatic dishwashing detergents, oven
cleaners, steel wool or other abrasive pads.
Cover:
Do not wash the cover door, handle or back cover in a dishwasher. It is
recommended that the handle not be disassembled during cleaning. However,
if you choose to disassemble the handle from the cover, make sure to not over-
tighten it when reattaching it to the cover. Doing so will cause damage.
Container:
Do not let mixtures, liquids or food products dry in the container.
Rinse after use. Dry product may lock around the blade and weaken/tear the
bearings seal when restarted. Do not place containers in the freezer. Extremely
low temperatures combined with hot ingredients and/or the immediate rapid
action of the blade may crack the container. Microwaving and automatic
dishwashing are not recommended.
Sound Dampening Gasket:
Do not wash in the dishwasher. High temperatures
and chemicals may cause the pad to swell. Do not soak. The gasket may absorb
water and swell.
It can take 24-48 hours of air drying before it returns to its original size.
Blade Assembly:
Do not soak the blade agitator assembly.
*
Be sure to wring excess water out of the cloth or sponge when cleaning
around the controls or any electrical part.
**
To prolong polycarbonate container life, Vitamix recommends using soaps
with a low PH balance, such as a liquid dishwashing detergent (Ivory
Liquid®). Due to the nature of polycarbonates, automatic dishwashing is not
recommended.
***
Recommended sanitising solution: 1.5 tsp. 7.4 ml institutional or household
bleach in 1.9 L water.
Motor Base/Control Panel: Unplug the power cable
and gently wash the outside
surface with a damp soft cotton cloth moistened with a mild solution of warm water*
and non-abrasive detergent or non-abrasive liquid spray cleaner. Be careful to not
scratch or scrub the display window on the control panel.
Never immerse the motor
base in water or any other liquid.
Dry with a soft cotton cloth.
Lid:
Wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse clean under running water and dry.
Cover Door:
The cover can be removed and cleaned by placing under running water
and washing with a soft cloth. Wipe dry and replace back on the base.
Sound-Dampening Gasket and Container Centring Pad:
The sound-dampening gasket
located between the base and the cover door can be removed for cleaning by simply
peeling it of the base after the cover has been removed.
Wash the gasket and pad in warm, soapy water. Rinse clean under running water and
dry. Reassemble before use. To reinstall the sound dampening gasket, simply lay it on
the base, making sure that it its snugly against the centring pad. Replace the sound
enclosure. Make sure that the gasket is seated properly against the blender and the
centring pad. The gasket and the centring pad should be lat on the motor base.
Container:
The Advance® container has been designed to be chemically resistant.
However, for maximum container life, hand washing is recommended.
To Clean:
Wash all container parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and drain. Do not soak
the blade agitator assembly.**
To Sanitise:
After all solid residue is removed, ill the container 4 full with a
sanitising solution mix.*** Return the container to the motor base and irmly
position the two-piece lid. Run the machine on a high speed for 30 seconds. Turn
the machine of and allow the mixture to stand in the container for an additional
1 2 minutes. Pour out the contents. Return the container to the motor base and
run it empty for an additional 5 seconds. Do not rinse after sanitising. Allow the
container to air dry.
