Section 2: Introduction to the Blender with Ice Dispenser
WELCOME TO AN EXCITING NEW WAY OF BLENDING
Blendtec® Blender Dispenser with Ice!
(BDI)
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 concentrates or other
liquids including alcohol, ice, and water. It has three main sections, the blend
station, the ice hopper, and the control board. The following pages will intro-
duce you to one of the most advanced blending systems available today.
2.1 Blend Station:
This contains a powerful blender motor that is controlled by the microproces-
sor on the control board. You can select the speed and duration of each blend
cycle for each drink size.
2.2 Ice Hopper:
This is a double auger system for consistent ice delivery to ensure that your
drinks are the same every time. The ice hopper holds six gallons (22.71 liters)
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 Control Board:
This is 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 ice melt water as well as minor spillage in the blend
station. The drain line is located on the back of the unit.

Section 3: Installation
Read all instructions, cautions, notes, and warnings before attempting to set up
and operate this machine. WARRANTIES WILL BE VOIDED if this machine is
improperly installed. (See Pre-Installation sheet at the end of this manual.)
3.1 Counter Placement:
Ensure 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 into the ice hopper dur-
ing regular use. Counter location should be near water, ice, and product bags.
3.2 Electrical Connections:
See power requirements in section 1.14.
3.3 Water Connection:
A ⅜” compression fitting is located behind the lower panel in the upper right-
hand corner (from the rear of the machine). You must use a reinforced water
line with this unit. Incoming water must have a pressure rating of at least 30PSI
(2.1097 kg/cm) and be no greater than 120PSI (8.4388 kg/cm) to operate cor-
rectly. You must add an inline water filter with a flow rate of at least 1 gallon
(3.78 liters) per minute. Adequate backflow protection might be needed to
comply with applicable federal, state, or local codes.
9
3.4 Drain Connection:
A ¾” hose bib fitting is 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. Only a rigid reinforced hose with at least a ¾” ID can be
used to prevent kinking and backflow into the blender chamber. Adequate
backflow protection might be needed to comply with applicable federal, state,
or local codes.
3.5 Product Lines and Connections:
The inlets for the product lines are located on the back of the unit. There are
labels next to each inlet with numbers that correspond to the pump numbers
in programming. These fittings are ⅜” outer diameter and are barbed to help
retain the hose. 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 dis-
able the functions of the unit). Carefully pour up to 6 gallons (22.71 liters) of
ice into the ice hopper. Ensure that the ice covers both augers to provide 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 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
press the drink number (1-64), select the size (S, M, or L), and then press GO.
The unit will automatically dispense ice, product, and water, and then blend. All
parameters for drink production can be manipulated to suit your needs (see
Section 6.0).
4.3 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 prod-
uct lines easily with little waste.
4.4 Dispense Ice Only:
This feature will allow you to dispense ice only. Place an empty jar in the blend
station and 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 up to 25
seconds. Use this feature when you’re filling an empty ice hopper to prime the
system.
10
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 splashing onto 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, and 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. 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 chlo-
rine bleach or other sanitizer, per manufacturer’s instructions. Stir and let stand
for 5 minutes, then empty. 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 Unit Care:
SHORT TERM – 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
backward or forward (two 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.
LONG TERM – Monthly, sanitize the ice hopper and blend station utilizing the
steps below. The best time to perform this cleaning is either before or after
