INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Carefully tear at perforation to separate! Keep for your records.

Place Blenders 12” (30.48 cm) away from each other. The distance of 12” (30.48 cm) is measured from one edge of the blender to another. If 12” (30.48 cm) spacings are not possible, then space them as far apart as possible and strictly follow venting procedures.

Even if the machine is vented to the outside of the cabinet, the cabinet door should be propped open. When venting the machine do not vent the machine into a closed space such as a wall; make sure the vent is free and clear of obstructions.

Make sure the vent hose is securely placed over the machines exhaust. Also make sure the vent hose is pulled taut and extends to the end of the cabinet. This is will properly eject hot exhaust air and prevent recirculation.

DO NOT let the vent hose hang freely inside the cabinet even if the cabinet is open. Be sure to stretch the vent hose taut to the edge of the cabinet area and direct the vent end away from the cabinet. (See photo 2)

If the machine cannot be vented out the front of the cabinet. (See photo 1 and 2) Run the vent hose through side wall of the cabinet, keeping the length of the vent hose under 5’ (1.52 meters) if at all possible.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT vent the machine into a wall or closed space.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:

• 120 VAC

• 50/60 Hz

• 11.2 amps

• All Blending Stations are built using a U.S. 3-prong grounded cord and

require one 20 amp outlet per machine.

Cut hole here

NOTE: Before cutting holes, make sure that there is adequate clearance under the counter for the motor. The motor will extend about 5-2/3" (14.4 cm) below the counter but it is best to allow at least 10" (25.4 cm) from the under-counter to shelves or any other equipment under the counter.

After cutting the hole and before installing the unit, install the enclosed foam gasket. Follow the instructions provided: Vita-Mix Touc h and Go Blending Station In-Counter Gask et Installation

(Form XTG000)

The (On/Off) power switch will be located under the counter when the machine is installed. Run a multiple power outlet with easy access to turn unit(s) on or off. Or leave the power on.

IMPORTANT: The area below the counter must have adequate ventilation to provide air circulation around each motor. This will prolong the life of your Blending Station. If storing powders, mixes, sugars, etc. make sure containers are tightly sealed. The intake and exhaust air, caused by the Blending Station, will pick up and disperse any loose products within the cabinet and unit.

If installing unit into a closed cabinet, including cabinets with a curtain or extended skirt, a 4” dia. (10.1 cm) flexible vinyl duct (dryer hose) must be used to vent exhaust. Attach the vinyl

duct to the bottom exhaust by forcing the end of the hose over the bell mouth of the unit. Run the vinyl duct out of the cabinet for proper ventilation. Do not vent hose into a wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building. Closed cabinet doors must be propped open about 1” (2.54 cm) to allow the intake of fresh air. Multiple In-Counter units should not vent to a common manifold unit but to separate places with separate vent ducts.
