SECTION 1: IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read all instructions carefully before using your Commercial series blender.

Following these instructions will help prevent injuries and damage to the machine and will ensure that you have the best possible experience with your Blendtec® Commercial series blender.

1.1 SAFETY CERTIFICATION

The Commercial series blenders are certified to required safety standards.

This certification ensures that your Commercial series blender has been tested for electrical and mechanical safety. The safety standards have been developed over many years to prevent injury, fire and damage. Part of the certification process includes quarterly audits to ensure that Blendtec is producing equipment to these stringent criteria.

1.2 AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS

ALWAYS keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts.

ALWAYS keep all utensils away from the drive socket and blender jar blades during operation as utensils may damage blades or the blender jar.

NEVER put hands into the blender jar or add substances by hand when the blender jar is on the motor base.

NEVER touch the blade with your fingers whether it is on or off the motor base.

NEVER place jar into drive socket if blender motor is operating.

DO NOT rock or remove the blender jar during operation.

These precautions will prevent personal injury and/or damage to the blender.

1.3 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER IF IT APPEARS DAMAGED

If the blender malfunctions, call your service agent first. If it is dropped or damaged in any way, return the blender to a Blendtec service agent immediately for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or possible replacement.

1.4 NEVER OPERATE BLENDER IN LIQUID

To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not put the motor base in water or other liquid. Do not use the blender outdoors where it is subject to precipitation.

1.5 NEVER PUT NON-FOOD ITEMS INTO JAR

Utensils, rocks, and glass are dangerous if placed in jar. Damage caused by such foreign objects will void the warranty. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. Utensils may only be used when the blender is not running.

1.6 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER WITHOUT THE LID IN PLACE

1.7NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER USING ATTACHMENTS NOT SOLD BY BLENDTEC

The use of any unauthorized attachments may cause fire, electric shock, and/or injury and will void the warranty.

1.8BLENDER JAR MUST BE PROPERLY IN PLACE WHILE APPLIANCE IS OPERATING

1.9USE CAUTION WHEN BLENDING HOT LIQUIDS

Your Commercial series blender may have a vented lid that acts as a pressure relief to allow steam to escape. Be careful not to come in contact with any steam.

1.10 POWER CORD PRECAUTIONS

NEVER operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or authorized service agent to avoid

a hazard.

DO NOT permit the cord to hang over the edge of the work surface.

NEVER use an extension cord with the unit.

Unplug the blender motor when not in use, before changing blender locations, or cleaning.

EACH POWER UNIT MUST BE PROTECTED BY A SEPARATE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE, SEE MODEL FOR SPECIFICATIONS

1.11 NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE POWER UNIT

Never remove the blender motor cover. The blender motor does not contain selfadjustable or serviceable parts. A qualified service agent must make all service adjustments. Removing the cover or attempting to service the blender will void the warranty.

1.12TURN THE BLENDER OFF WHEN NOT IN USE

1.13AVOID TOUCHING THE BLENDER DRIVE SOCKET OR JAR SHAFT AFTER USE!

The blender drive socket and jar shaft may become very hot after blend cycles.

1.14 SAFETY

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

SECTION 4:

INSTALLATION & OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

4.1STEALTH 875™

4.1.1Installation

Stealth 875 Above Counter Installation

Select a location that is near an electrical outlet. Also consider proximity to ingredients, and patrons as well as available counter space.

Place the blender on the counter in a spot where the air intake vents on the sides and exhaust on the back of the blender are unobstructed.

Ensure there is enough room above and around the unit to allow for unhampered movement of the sound enclosure (see Figure 1 for measurements).

Plug the unit into an outlet with appropriate electrical protection.

Stealth 875 In-Counter - Preparation for Installation

Note: You may locate your Blendtec Stealth 875 in the same space as your previous Blendtec in-counter blender. Just remember to ensure proper spacing for the sound enclosure (see Figure 1 for measurements).

Identify the desired blender location. Consider proximity to ingredients, and patrons as well as available counter space. Also ensure that an electrical outlet is readily accessible.

Ensure the location meets all dimensional requirements (see Figures 1 and 3).

The countertop can be no thicker than 3/4” (19 mm). A thicker countertop will obstruct motor ventilation.

If installing more than one blender, allow 14”–16” (356–506 mm) of center-to-center blender spacing.

If installing a sound enclosure, allow a clearance of at least 5 ½” (140 mm) from the sound enclosure to the wall and 26” (660 mm) from the countertop to any over-the- counter cabinetry.

Ensure lower cabinetry allows adequate airflow.

The blender draws ambient air into the vent holes located on the upper sides of the motor and then evacuates hot air through the vents on the bottom of the motor. For the motor to cool properly, a sufficient amount of air must be able to circulate around the motor.

There should be at least 6 ½” (165 mm) of space from the countertop to the next lower shelf of the cabinet, leaving a minimum space of 3” (76 mm) between the bottom of the motor and the lower shelf. Cabinetry should not be closed; it should allow air to flow freely from the outside to the inside of the cabinet space.

Plastic bags, cups, and so forth, should not be stored closer than 3” (76 mm) from the bottom of the motor.

Cut a hole in the countertop 4 3/8“ (111 mm) wide and 5 7/8” (149 mm) long (see the countertop hole template in the appendix). Ensure that the 4 3/8” (111 mm) sides are parallel with the machine operator.

Note: Double check to ensure that all space requirements and measurements are correct BEFORE cutting.

In-Counter Installation

Feed the electrical cord through the hole in the countertop.

Gently place the blender unit into the hole.

Ensure the gasket is seated correctly, lying flat against the counter surface and not pinched by the housing.

Plug the unit into an outlet with appropriate electrical protection.
