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 5-2/3" (14.4 cm) below the counter but
it is best to allow at least 10" (25.5 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 6" (15.2 cm) from any wall to allow for cover
door clearance.
•An extra 6.5" (16.5 cm) of open space above the top of the cover will be needed
forplacementandremovaloftheIn-Countermachineandforcustomprogramming
the six PRE-SET buttons.
• If installing unit into a closed cabinet, use a 4" dia. (10 cm) flexible vinyl duct (dryer
hose) to vent exhaust.Attach the vinyl duct to the bottom of your In-Counter
Blending Station®MP by forcing the end of the hose over the exhaust baffleof the
unit. Runthe vinyl ductout ofthe cabinet forproper ventilation. Do not vent hose
into a wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building. Multiple units should not
vent to a common manifold unit but to separateplaces.Ifrunning your Blending
StationMPcauses a suctiononyourcabinet door, place a spacer in the door frame
to allow proper intake of air.
Donot usehose clamps or equivalent to attach exhaust hose onmachine.
• When cutting holes for placement of multiple In-Counter units, position the edge of
the machines at least 12" (30.48 cm) apart to ensure quick cleaning and proper
venting between machines.
• In-Counter installation for a 120 VAC unit also requires you to have at least one
20 amp outlet per machine under the counter, available within six feet of the
Blending Station MP. 220 VAC and 100 VAC units require a dedicated line.
Consult an electrician for proper electrical needs.
•The In-Counter Blending Station MP also requires a gasket (provided in the
machine’s original package) to be placed between the machine and the counter.
See page 12 for instructions.

Gasket Installation Instructions:
1. Follow the instructions on page 10 on preparing the counter area for the
installation of your In-Counter Blending Station®MP. Also, use theTemplate
Sheet(providedinyourmachine’s original package) to assist you in the placement
and ventilation of your machine.
2. Lay the blender on its back with the motor pointing toward you.Allow 1-2 in.
(3 -5 cm) of the motor base to hang over the edge of the counter top to facilitate
easy fitting of the gasket.
3. Slide the power cord through the gasket, with the groove of the gasket pointing
toward the machine base.
4. Starting at one corner of the motor base, press the gasket onto the motor base,
so that the groove in the gasket seats itself onto the stepped bottom edge of the
motor base.
5. Working aroundthe bottomedge ofthe motor base,press thegasket ontothe motor
baseuntilthe entire perimeter ofthegasket is firmly attached tothemotor base.
6. Carefully place the blender into the hole in the counter.
7. Be sure that the gasket is properly seated on the motor base and against the
counter top.
8. Do not secure the machine to the counter with bonding materials.
This gasket was designed to protect your machine from water
damage and to reduce noise. Failure to properly install this gasket
could result in moisture damage.

1. If your recipe freezes up, try reducing the amount of ice. Compared to other
blenders, you do not need as much ice to make an equally frozen drink in a
Blending Station®MP.
2. Place liquids and soft foods in your container first. Hard items and ice should
be placed last.
3. Whole, hard or frozen ingredients should be small. Solid frozen fruit is
extremely difficult to blend. For best results, use semi-frozen fruit. Using same
size batches of semi-frozen fruit and ice will keep your drinks consistent. If you
notice chunks, reevaluate the batch size.
4. When creating recipes, always allow for enough liquid to ease the blending
process. For recipes with minimal liquid, use the Speed Control buttons to
run the machine on its lowest settings until it is processing smoothly. Finish
blending by using one of the Pre-Set Programs that best matches the
drink’s viscosity.
Maintenance Tips:
•NEVER bang the container against a surface to loosen the ingredients.
Remove the container from the base and use a rubber spatula to remove thick
mixtures from the bottom of your container.
• NEVER shake or rattle a container while in use.
• NEVER remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.
•NEVER start the motor before the container is in place.
The instructions appearing in this Owner’s Manual cannot cover
every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common
sense and caution must be practiced when operating and
maintaining any appliance.

How to operate your Blending Station®MP using
the six Pre-Set Programmed Buttons.
The following is the basic XP settings of the six PRE-SETbuttons (your machine’s
PRE-SET buttons may differ due to program revisions or if your Blending Station
MP was programmed specifically for your business).
• Button 1: (:13) Blends thin drinks with just juice and ice. Button 1 will ramp the
blending speed to medium high for 13 seconds.
•Button 2: (:18) Blendslightcoffeedrinks.Button 2 will ramp the blending speed
tohighfor18seconds.
• Button 3: (:20) Creates a specialty drink with a thick viscosity. Button 3
will ramp the blending speed to high for 20 seconds.
• Button 4: (:15)This cycle is good for ice cream and regular coffee drinks.
Button 4 increases to medium speed for 5 seconds and then ramps up slowly to
high for 10 seconds.
•Button 5: (:20) Blend a regular smoothie on high.Button 5 increases to
medium speed for 10 seconds and then ramps up slowly to high for 10 seconds.
•Button 6: (:25) Blend thick frozen fruits & hard ingredients for a thick but
consistent smoothie. Button 6 increases to medium speed for 10 seconds and
then ramps up slowly to high for 15 seconds.
1. Place liquids and soft foods in the machine’s container first, solid items and ice
last. Prepare food by cutting or breaking into 1-3 inch (3-8 cm) pieces. Frozen
fruit, especially, should be as small as practical. Thawed or partially thawed
fruit is recommended. We recommend PROGRAMMED button 5 or 6 for
heavy-duty blending.
2. Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad
anchored to the base. (Motor must be completely stopped before positioning
container.) Containers are not to be used for hard, dry materials.Avoid running
the Blending Station MP with container empty.
3. Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be
securely in place.

4. Select desired programmed setting by pressing any of the PRE-SETBUTTONS
1 through 6. The machine will begin immediately to cycle through the selected
program and turn off when the program is complete. Each button has a different
pre-selected combination of speed and length for blending.
NOTE:If you detect a change in the sound of the machine or if a hard or
foreign object comes into contact with the blades, do not serve the drink. Inspect
your blade assembly for loose, knicked or missing parts. If parts are loose, missing
or knicked, replace with a new blade assembly. (See page 17.)
5. Once one of the six PRE-SETPROGRAM buttons is pushed the machine will
start and stop automatically. By pressing another PRE-SET BUTTON or the
START/STOPbutton, the machine will stop the blending cycle.
6.During any of the blending cycles, by pressing the PULSE H button, the speed of
the blending can increase up to 100% of the motor speed. By pressing the
PULSE Lbutton during a blending cycle, the speed of the motor can be decreased
down to 7%. Once released, the motor speed will revert back to the blending cycle
of the PRE-SET PROGRAM.
NOTE: Use the SPEEDCONTROLbuttons to set the speed ofthe PULSE buttons.
For example, when the H or LPULSE button is pressed and held,bysimultaneously
pressingand holding the▲ or ▼ SPEEDCONTROL buttonthemotor speedwill
increase ordecrease in 1% increments. When the SPEED CONTROL button is
released, thePULSE buttonwill remainset atthe selected speed until altered with the
SPEEDCONTROLbuttons.
7. When the cycle is complete, the blender stops. Wait until blade comes to a
complete stop before removing the lid and/or container from the motor base.
8. Remove the container, pour, garnish and serve the drink.
How to operate your Blending Station®MP using
the Start/Stop and Speed Control buttons.
Although using the PRE-SETPROGRAMMED buttonsis highly recommended for the
best drink, occasionally a drink may need special attention. By using the
START/STOPbutton and the SPEED CONTROLbutton, you can manually control
the speed of the Blending Station MP.

4. When done blending, press the START/STOP button to stop the motor.
Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before removing the lid
and/or container from the motor base.
5. Remove the container from the motor base and serve the drink.
NOTE:On all units, the built-in thermal sensor keeps track of how hot the motor gets
and will warn the user and eventually shut down the motor if the motor is overheating.
When overheated, the display will instruct the user to remove the container and run
the machine until cool. This takes about two minutes. See page 25, “Cooling the
motor,” for complete instructions. When overheating occurs, review your techniques
and instructions. The motor may be getting hot when your recipes are too thick.
