SECTION 2: COMPONENT OVERVIEW
2.1 BLENDER MOTOR
The blender motor consists of the blender base shell, touch pad control,
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) information center, and the power unit.
(See Figures 1.1 and 1.2)
● Motor housing: Houses the power unit in a surgical stainless steel
casing. Never remove the motor cover. Removal of the motor cover will
void the warranty.
● Touch Pad: Consists of six buttons which contain pre-programmed
settings as well as a pulse for selective blender control.
● LCD Information Center: When a cycle is completed, the display
increments the cumulative cycle for warranty purposes. It also indicates
overload or over-temperature conditions.
● Blender Motor: This unit is located within the motor housing and
contains the machinery which runs the blender, including the electric
motor, drive train, and computerized control board.
2.2 BLENDER JAR ASSEMBLY
The blender jar assembly consists of the blender jar, blade assembly,
and lid. The blender jar assembly integrates these components to
ensure consistently blended drinks and greater operator safety.
● Jar: Made from polycarbonate to provide maximum performance as
well as clear visibility of blender performance.
● Blade Assembly: Stainless steel, designed to ensure fast, consistent
blending.
● Lid: Designed to provide ease of handling and quick removal for high
speed operations.
2.3 OPTIONAL SOUND ENCLOSURE
The sound enclosure reduces noise created during blender operation.
2.4 OPTIONAL SOUND ENCLOSURE BOTTOM
A “top-of-the-counter” version of the blender is created by combining the
sound enclosure described above with a sound enclosure bottom into
which the blender motor is inserted. This allows for portable operation of
the blender.
