INSTALLATION

In-Counter Machine

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 3.0 in. / 7,6 cm below the counter but it is best to allow at least 10.0 in. / 25,4 cm from the under-counter to shelves or any other equipment under the counter. Also, when using the removable cover design, the back of the hole must be at least 4.3 in. / 10,8 cm from any wall to allow for cover door clearance.

An extra 4.0 in. / 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 unit into a cabinet with doors, including cabinets with a curtain or extended skirt, a 4.0 in. / 10,2 cm diameter flexible 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 baffle 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 12.0 in. / 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 6 ft. / 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.

In-Counter MachineWARNINGS!

Do not vent hose into a wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building or cabinet. Do not use hose clamps or equivalent to attach exhaust hose on machine.

When removing blender from the counter, always remove the container,

cover door and back cover from the machine first. Do not strike the blender when removing from the counter. Do not use the In-Counter gasket on a wooden counter. Discoloration of the counter will occur.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

Do not use the In-Counter on wooden counter tops. 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 containers are tightly sealed. The intake and exhaust air caused by running the machine will disperse any loose products.
