• Power Unit: This unit is located within the blender motor base and contains the computerized electronics that run the blender�

• Motor Base Cover: Houses the power unit in a durable, plastic material�

• Power Cord: The power cord is located at the back of the motor base cover�

SECTION 4: INSTALLATION & OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

4.1 STEALTH 875™

4.1.1 Installation

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�

Figure 2. Stealth 875 Components

• 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-thecounter 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 counter top 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 counter top 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�
