1.3 AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS
• Keep fingers, hands, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts.
• Keep all utensils away from the drive socket and blender jar blades during
operation. Metal utensils may damage blades.
• 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 the blender jar during operation.
These precautions will prevent personal injury and/or damage to the blender.
1.4 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER IF IT APPEARS DAMAGED
If the blender malfunctions call your service agent first. If it is dropped or dam-
aged in any way, return the blender to a Blendtec service agent immediately for
examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or possible replace-
ment.
1.5 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.
1.6 NEVER PUT NON-FOOD ITEMS INTO JAR
Metal 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.

5. Ensure that blender vents are unobstructed to allow proper cooling during
use.
4.2 The Tom Dickson Extreme Blender IN-COUNTER INSTALLATION
Preparation
1. Identify desired blender location. Consider preferences such as proximity to
ingredients, available counter space, and access to a power source.
(A licensed electrician may need to install appropriate power source for
the blender.)
2. Ensure potential site meets all dimensional requirements (see Figure 4).
• Countertop can be no thicker than 3/4 inch (19 mm). A countertop thicker
than 3/4 inch (19 mm) will obstruct ventilation louvers on the upper sides
of the blender base.
NOTE: The blender unit draws ambient air into the louvers located on the bot-
tom of the blender base. It then evacuates hot air through the louvers located
on the upper sides of the blender base. Ensure a sufficient amount of air circu-
lates beneath the blender base to allow cooling. Hot air should not be trapped
beneath the counter top. Nothing should be stored closer than 3 inches (76
mm) from the bottom of the blender motor.
3. Cut a hole in the counter top 4 3/8 inches (111 mm) wide and 5 7/8 inches
(149 mm) long with the shorter side facing the operator (see FIGURE 4). Make
sure all space requirements and measurements are correct BEFORE
cutting. Depending on the type and style of your counter top, different
types of equipment may be needed to cut the appropriate hole. It is
always recommended to consult with a professional before cutting.
Installation In Counter
1. Ensure that an electrical receptacle is readily accessible when you locate the
equipment.
2. Slide the blender base into the hole cut in your counter top (per instructions
above) with the LCD indicator and touchpad facing the operator side of the
counter top. The formed rubber gasket on the rim of the motor base should fit
into the hole and rest lightly on the counter top.
3. Make sure the power switch is off before plugging the unit into the wall. Plug
the unit into a separate 120 volt, 20 amp receptacle with 20 amp protection.
