Section 2: Introduction to the Blender Dispenser with Ice_______________
WELCOME TO AN EXCITING NEW WAY OF BLENDING.
Introducing the Blendtec Blender Dispenser
with Ice!
The Blendtec Blender Dispenser with Ice (BDI) combines some of the best ideas in
blending into one easy-to-operate machine. The result is a machine that provides:
•Fast delivery to large crowds.
•Controlled labor and finished product costs.
•Portability and easy set-up.
•Maximum revenue generated per square foot.
•Multiple drink combinations from one machine.
The Blender Dispenser with Ice is a microprocessor-controlled machine designed to
quickly make precise blended drinks from concentrate or other liquid (including
alcohol), ice, and water. It has three main sections, the blend station, the ice
hopper, and the control board section. The following pages will introduce you to
the most advanced blending system available today.
2.1 The Blend Station: contains a powerful blender motor that is controlled by the
microprocessor in the control board. You can select the speed and duration of
each blend cycle for each drink size.
2.2 The Ice Hopper: contains a double auger system for consistent ice delivery to
ensure that your drinks are the same every time. The ice hopper will hold six
gallons of ice. The hopper is insulated to minimize temperature loss. The hopper
also integrates an interlock safety feature to prevent personal injury – the removal
of the lid will stop the movement of the augers.
2.3 The Control Board: contains the microprocessor that controls all of the functions
of the unit. The control board is utilized to make and program drinks.
2.4 Water Input Line: allows cold water to be added to drinks to help reconstitute
concentrated purees or to help increase volume.
2.5 Drain Line: provides for the removal of melt water as well as minor spillage in
the blend station. Drain line is located on the back of the unit.
2.6 Model differences:
There are 10 models of BDI, below is an explanation of the differences -
•Voltage: 120VAC units
Models BDI-501, BDI-503, BDI-507, and BDI-508: 1800Watts,
15Amps

OWN-003 Model BDI Owner’s Manual – Blender Dispenser with Ice

Models BDI-505, BDI-506, BDI-509, and BDI-510: 2400Watts,
20Amps
240VAC units
Models BDI-502 and BDI-504: 1800Watts, 7.5Amps
•Size:
Narrow Versions (Models BDI-503, -504, -506, -508, -510):
Height: 32”
Width: 12”
Length (depth): 20”
Wide Versions (Models BDI-501, -502, -505, -507, -509):
Height: 32”
Width: 18.5”
Length (depth): 13.5”
•Limitations:
Volume Limited - Models BDI-501 through BDI-506
This means that products other than those dispensed by the unit
(additional ice cream, yogurt, etc.) can be added to the blending jar
before dispensing. This limits the blending capacity to 32 ounces.
Product Limited - Models BDI-507 through BDI-510
This means that only products that are dispensed by the machine
(ice, water, liquids through the pumps) can be blended in the unit.
However, this allows for up to 64 ounces for blending.
Section 3: Installation____________________________________________

Read all instructions, cautions, notes and warnings before attempting to setup and operate
this machine. Warranties may be voided if this machine is improperly installed.
3.1 Counter Placement: insure there are at least 4 inches on each side and at least 6
inches in back (room for plumbing – product lines and drain). Be sure there is
sufficient room above the BDI to remove the ice hopper lid and put ice in the ice
hopper during regular use. Counter location should be near water, ice and storage
area for product bags.
3.2 Electrical Connections:
Models BDI-501, BDI-503, BDI-507, and BDI-508: 1800Watts, 15Amps –
require a 20AMP dedicated 120VAC receptacle NEMA 5-15R (see figure 1).
Figure 1 – NEMA 5-15R
Models BDI-505, BDI-506, BDI-509, and BDI-510: 2400Watts, 20Amps –
require a 20AMP dedicated 120VAC receptacle NEMA 5-20R (see figure 2).
Figure 2 – NEMA 5-20R
Models BDI-502 and BDI-504: 1800 and 2400 Watts respectively, 7.5Amps –
require cord set specific receptacles with 10Amp dedicated circuits.
3.3 Water Connection: 3/8” Compression fitting. Located behind the lower panel in
the upper right-hand corner (from the rear of the machine). It is recommended
that you use a reinforced water line with this unit. Incoming water must have a
pressure rating of at least 30PSI (no greater than 120) to operate correctly. The
Blender Dispenser with Ice must be installed with adequate back-flow protection
to comply with Federal, state or local codes having jurisdiction.
3.4 Drain Connection: ¾” Hose Bib fitting. Located on the lower left-hand corner
(from the rear of the machine). It is recommended that you use Teflon tape on the
threads to help prevent leaks. Any type of tubing may be used but it is suggested
that the drain tube have some rigidity to prevent kinking and backflow into the
blender chamber. The Blender Dispenser with Ice must be installed with
adequate back-flow protection to comply with Federal, state or local codes having
jurisdiction.

3.5 Product Lines and Connections: The inlets for the product lines are located on the
back of the unit behind the lower panel. This is the only panel that you may
remove without voiding the warranty. Once the panel is removed you will see the
eight downward pointing inlets. There are labels next to each that number the
inlets and these numbers correspond to the pump number in programming. These
fittings are 3/8” outer diameter and are barbed to help retain the hose. We
recommend that you use a hose clamp to retain the hose on the inlet fitting.
Section 4: Basic Operations_______________________________________
4.1 Loading Ice: Remove the black ice hopper lid from atop the unit (removing the
lid will disable the functions of the unit). Carefully pour up to 6 gallons of ice
into the ice hopper. Ensure that the ice covers both augers for the most consistent
ice dispense. Place the lid back on the top of the unit to re-enable the unit to
function. If you are filling an empty ice hopper you should prime the system by
putting a blender jar in the blend station and press the ICE button on the control
panel (see 4.4).
4.2 Dispense Product Only: You can dispense only product by pressing the number
of the pump (1-8) and then pressing and holding the JUICE button. The unit will
dispense the product selected until you release the JUICE button. The maximum
time that the JUICE button will dispense is 25 seconds. This feature allows you
to prime your product lines easily with little waste.
4.3 Making Drinks: Place an empty blender jar in the blend station with the blender
lid in place. After programming drinks into the microprocessor (see section 6.0),
you simply select the size (S, M or L) and press the drink number (1-64) of the
drink, and then press GO. The unit will automatically dispense product, ice,
water and then blend. All parameters for drink production can be manipulated to
suit your needs (see section 6.0).
4.4 Dispense Ice Only: This feature will allow you to dispense Ice only. Press and
hold the ICE button to dispense the desired amount of ice. The ice will dispense
as long as the ICE button is held down or to 25 seconds. Use this feature when
you are filling an empty ice hopper to prime the system.
4.5 Dispense Water Only: By pressing and holding the WATER button you can
dispense cold water only as desired. The maximum amount of time the feature
will run is 25 seconds.
4.6 Run Blender Motor Only: This feature can be used in two ways: as a ramp pulse
(gradually increasing speed) or to run a constant speed. To use as a ramp pulse,
press and hold the BLEND button until the drink is completed, the motor will stop
when the BLEND button is released. To run at a constant speed, select the speed
(1-9) and then press and hold the BLEND button. The unit will run until the
BLEND button is released or for 25 seconds.

Section 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing_________________________________
5.1 After Each Use: After every use of the unit, the operator should ensure that the
blender jar has been rinsed, the blend station has been wiped out if there is
spillage, and that the blender door is wiped down if there is spillage. Always
keep an empty jar on the blender motor when the unit is not in use. This helps
any melt water that is not captured by the ice hopper drain from creeping into the
blender motor itself.
5.2 Jar Care:
SHORT TERM – as needed, wash the jars with a mild detergent solution. Do not
immerse the jars for longer than necessary in any type of liquid. Wash quickly
(with a smooth cloth or sponge), rinse, sanitize with appropriate solution (some
sanitizer manufacturers require their sanitizer to remain in contact with the
sanitized object for a specific amount of time before rinsing or removing. Refer
to your manufacturer’s instructions before rinsing) and rinse again. Hold the jar
by the handle and give three or more sharp downward shakes to remove all water
from around the shaft area. Then place the jar upside down on a rack to dry.
LONG TERM – as needed, fill the jar with hot water and a tablespoon of chlorine
bleach (or other chlorine based sanitizer per manufacturer’s instructions). Stir and
let set for 5 minutes. Empty and rinse with clear hot water. Hold the jar by the
handle and give three or more sharp downward shakes to remove all water from
around the shaft area. Then place the jar upside down on a rack to dry.
5.3 Short Term (Unit):
As time permits (daily or weekly), wipe down the exterior of the unit and the
interior of the blend station with a damp rag. Carefully tilt the machine either
back or forward (2 person operation) and wipe underneath the unit with a damp
rag. Disconnect the drain tube from the back of the unit and run hot sanitizer
solution through the tube to help keep the tube clear.
5.4 Long Term (Unit):
As time permits (monthly), sanitize all product lines and ice hopper utilizing the
steps below. The best time to perform this cleaning cycle is either before or after
work hours when you have plenty of time. Mix up 2-5 gallons of sanitizer
solution per the manufacturers directions.
5.4.1 ICE HOPPER:
5.4.1.1 Remove all ice from the ice hopper. Manually take the ice out
around the augers. Remember that the removal of the lid causes
the unit to be disabled from being run; however, it is recommended
that you turn the unit off at the switch while you are removing ice.
Once you have removed as much ice as you can, replace the ice
hopper lid and place an empty blender jar in the blend station.
Press and hold the ICE button to dump the remaining ice pieces.
Empty the jar and replace in the blend station.

OWN-003 Model BDI Owner’s Manual – Blender Dispenser with Ice

5.4.1.2 Spray or wipe the interior surface of the ice hopper with a mild
soapy solution. Allow this solution to remain in contact with the
ice hopper surfaces for at least five minutes.
5.4.1.3 Slowly pour or spray clean, hot water over the surfaces of the ice
hopper to rinse the soapy solution away. It is very import to pour
slowly as the rinse water will empty into the blend station and then
down the main drain. Overflowing the blend station can cause
blender motor failure. The rinse water will mostly run down the
drain of the unit but some will go into the empty blender jar (watch
so that it does not overflow and empty as needed).
5.4.1.4 Gently pour or spray the sanitizing solution over the surfaces of the
ice hopper. Remember that some sanitizer manufacturers require
their sanitizer to remain in contact with the sanitized object for a
specific amount of time before rinsing or removing. Refer to your
manufacturer’s instructions before rinsing.
5.4.1.5 Rinse the ice hopper surfaces with clean, hot water following step
5.4.1.3 above.
5.4.2 BLEND STATION:
5.4.2.1 Remove the blender jar from the blender station (empty if needed).
5.4.2.2 Using a mild soapy solution, wipe down all surfaces of the blend
station. Excess water will drain through the drain opening located
at the back of the unit.
5.4.2.3 Use clear, hot water to rinse the surfaces of the blend station. A
handheld spray bottle will work best.
5.4.2.4 To sanitize the surfaces of the blend station either spray or wipe
the surfaces of the blend station with the sanitizing solution.
5.4.2.5 Remove the blend station door by opening the door and gently
lifting it off of the hinges (do not loose the small plastic washers).
Wash the door in the sink and allow to air dry.
5.4.2.6 Use clear, hot water to rinse the sanitizing solution off of the
surfaces of the blend station.
5.4.2.7 Dry any water off of the blender motor area and replace the
blender door.
5.4.3 DRAIN HOSE:
5.4.3.1 After sanitizing the ice hopper and blend station, the internal drain
tube should be fairly well cleaned so it is not necessary to run
sanitizer down the internal tube again.
5.4.3.2 Remove the drain tube from the back of the machine.
5.4.3.3 Slowly pour sanitizer solution down the tube. It is not necessary to
rinse the drain tube.
5.4.4 PRODUCT TUBES:there are two options to sanitize product lines. The first
is to use the sanitizing cycle built in to the machine, the second is a
simpler method using the JUICE button. You may use either one
depending on preference; the beginning steps are the same.
5.4.4.1 Disconnect all product bags from the product lines and place the
bags in the refrigerator.

6.1.1 Navigating in the program is done with the S, M, L and GO buttons on the
control panel.
6.1.2 The S and M buttons move you up and down in drinks; 1-64 on M and 64-
1 on S.
6.1.3 The L and GO button will move you up and down in the data sets; GO
moves forward (pump 1-8) and L moves backward (pump 8-1).
6.1.4 You must enter the programming mode before any changes can be made.
6.1.5. To exit the programming mode at any time press the STOP button twice.
6.1.6 It is possible to access a specific drink number in the Drink Settings Menu
(7-8-9-GO) by pressing a 1, then the drink number (1 to 64), and then GO.
6.2 Adjusting Product:
6.2.1 Product values can be added, removed or adjusted as you see fit; however,
when you find a drink setting that works for you it is recommended that
you do not change it unless absolutely necessary.
6.2.2 To adjust product settings, scroll to the drink number (S or M buttons) you
wish to change.
6.2.3 Now use the GO button to move to the pump number that needs to be
changed.
6.2.4 Pump values are recorded in tenths of a second. In other words, 22 on the
display represents 2.2 seconds of dispense time. You can equate one
ounce per second of dispense time.
6.2.4.1 The dispense rate will vary slightly depending on the type of
product you are using. A 4 to 1 concentrate will be thicker and
will therefore need more time to dispense. See section 7.1 for
Calibration help.
6.2.5 Enter the value you want by pressing the correct numbers on the control

Figure 4 – 6 standard blend cycle profiles.
6.6.4 Regardless of the time listed above (figure 4), the blender motor will run
for the amount of time that you have programmed into the Cycle time data
set. However, the cycle will start over at the beginning of its programmed
time. In other words, looking at Cycle 5 above, you can see that it is set
for a total time of 24 seconds. If your cycle time is greater than 24
seconds, the cycle will start over at the lower speed and repeat until the
time is up.
6.6.5 You must have a cycle programmed into the data set even if you have no
cycle time.
6.6.6 Press the GO button to move to the Mcycl and Lcycl data sets and change

the ounces size of your medium drink and press GO.
6.8.5 The data set will automatically move to the Size Large data set; enter the
ounces size of your large drink and press GO.
6.8.6 It is not necessary to have all three sizes, but you must have a “small”
drink. The “small” drink size correlates directly with the data set
programmed into the 7-8-9-GO menu. This is very important! If you set
your 7-8-9-GO menu pump, ice and water values to make a 12 ounce
drink and your small size to 14 you will only make 12 ounce drinks and
the M and L drinks will not turn out correct. The microprocessor uses the
small drink size and the settings in the 7-8-9-GO menu to automatically
generate your M and L drinks. Ensure that the size of drink and the
programmed data sets match directly.
6.8.7 Press the STOP button twice to exit the drink size menu.
Section 7: Advanced Programming_________________________________
This section is intended for the owner/manager of the location who will take the time to
fully understand the system and the information contained herein. Greater detail is spent
on controls and reports the unit can supply. All functions are accessed by pressing 7-8-9-
GO on the control panel unless otherwise noted.
7.1 Calibration:
There are two ways to optimize the drinks made in the BDI. You can use the trial
and error method, which involves making small changes to a drink and testing
each change as you go until you get it the way you want it. Or, you can calibrate
the BDI and make drinks according to a formula. Because fittings, tubing,
temperature, and product can all cause the pumps to dispense at different rates,
each drink you wish to make from a formula will require a calibrated pump. This
section will tell you how to isolate and calibrate each dispensing function
7.1.1 Press 7-8-9-GO to access the program mode. (If you have not read
Sections 6, do so now.)
7.1.2 Press 0 then GO. This will zero out the pump run time for Pmp 1 in Drink
1. The display will now read “Drink 1 Pmp 0.”
7.1.3 Press 0 and GO until all eight pumps are at 0. Continue to zero out water,
ice and the blend times (you cannot zero out the cycles).

7.1.4 Select the concentration ratio for the product you use in pump port 1 from
the table below. The pumps deliver about 1 oz. per second. Divide your
recipe’s product amount (the ounces required for a small drink) by 1.0 to
get the suggested pump time. E.g. If you use 2 to 1 product, divide 4 oz.
by 1.0 oz per second. 4/1 = 4.0 seconds. With the display showing
“Drink 1 Pmp 1 0” enter the suggested run time, remembering that what
you enter is in tenths of a second. E.g. Enter “40” to get 4.0 seconds, then
press GO.

1The product coming from the pump/port and the water for these drinks are automatically proportioned
to 1.5 times the “S” drink unless the proportions have been changed as in Section 8.1.0.
2The product coming from the pump/port and the water for these drinks are automatically proportioned
to 2 times the “S” drink unless the proportions have been changed as in Section 8.1.0.
7.1.5 Place a jar in the blend station, press stop twice to exit the program mode,
then press S to select a small drink. Press 1to activate Drink (pump) 1
then press GO.
7.1.6 When the pump has stopped delivering product to the blender jar, you may
measure the product and get an actual dispense rate of the product from
pump number 1. E.g. If the volume of product in the jar is 4.4 ounces, 4.4
oz. / 4 seconds = 1.1 oz per second. Calculate the actual pump time by
dividing the required ounces by the actual pump rate. E.g. 4.0/1.1 = 3.6
Seconds. Record this number, it will be entered later. Re-enter the
programming mode (7-8-9-GO) and zero out Drink 1 Pmp 1.
7.1.7 Repeat Steps 7.1.1 to 7.1.6 for each pump port. You may use a different
concentration ratio in each pump and your formula may call for different

quantities of product than the suggested formula. Keep a record of the
measured pump flow rates in the chart below or one similar.
Pump Number Flow Rate
Pump Port 1 Flavor oz/sec
Pump Port 2 Flavor oz/sec
Pump Port 3 Flavor oz/sec
Pump Port 4 Flavor oz/sec
Pump Port 5 Flavor oz/sec
Pump Port 6 Flavor oz/sec
Pump Port 7 Flavor oz/sec
Pump Port 8 Flavor oz/sec
7.2 Water Flow Rate:
Calibrate Water flow rate in much the same way as you calibrated the pumps.
7.2.1 With all data sets of Drink 1 at “0”, press the GO or L pad until the display
reads: “Drink 1 Watr 0”.
7.2.2 Press 5-0-GO and then STOP twice.
7.2.3 Press S-1-GO.
7.2.4 Measure the water in the jar and divide by 5 to get the water flow rate.
E.g. With 2.5 oz. of water in the jar, 2.5/5 = 0.5 oz per second. Record
this number. Because the water comes from the same valve for all drinks,
the water flow rate will be the same for every drink.
7.3 Ice Temperature Range:
The Ice level sensor notifies the user when the ice hopper is close to being empty.
7.3.1 The sensor can be disabled or enabled by pressing 3-5-8-GO. The display
will either read, "Ice Sensor On" or "Ice Sensor Off". Pressing S or M will
make a selection.
7.3.2 Once the mode of operation is selected, press the GO button to advance to
the temperature setting of the Ice Sensor. The display will read, "Low Ice
Temp 10C". This setting is the temperature at which the sensor turns on
the Low Ice LED (light on the control panel).
7.3.3 This value can be changed by using the numeric keypad to enter a new
temperature and by pressing GO. If 10 degrees C is selected as the Low
Ice Temperature then the ice full temperature will be 8 degrees C.
7.3.4 A current temperature reading is displayed by pressing GO after the Low
Ice Temp has been entered.
7.3.5 Press STOP to exit the menu.
7.3.6 It may take up to 20 minutes for the temp in the hopper to stabilize and for
the REFILL ICE reminder to disappear.
