—Determine Unit Location

Plan the installation. Dispenser tube lengths, position of power and water outlets, required air space around the underbench module and access for service must be considered before cutting tube lengths. Refer to Diagrams 1and

3 for clearances around the unit. Unit must be installed horizontally with plastic vent panel facing to front of cupboard. The B-5000 is designed for internal installation only.

—Water Supply

The B-5000 must only be connected to a cold water supply. A ½" BSP stop tap (not supplied) is to be installed in an easily accessible position within 600mm from the B-5000 water supply inlet. The B-5000 incorporates a certified pressure limiting and backflow prevention device. Do not fit an additional pressure limiting valve.

Dynamic water supply pressure:

Min. 250kPa, max. 1200kPa.

Supply temp: min. 5°C, max. 30°C.

Do not install with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.

—Ventilation

The B-5000 requires some cupboard ventilation and adequate air space as well as an unobstructed clearance of at least

100mm on each side of the underbench unit.

IMPORTANT: Insufficient ventilation will cause inefficient refrigeration system operation, increasing power usage and will void unit warranty.

—Power Requirements

A single 10 amp standard power outlet is required. All B-5000 units are supplied with a 1 metre flex cord and plug.

Installing the dispenser

XL, XT, XR.

IMPORTANT: This Billi appliance is to be installed by a licensed tradesperson in accordance with

AS 3500.4 or AS/NZ 3500.4.2 and in compliance with applicable state regulatory requirements.

For correct operation of this appliance, it is essential to observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Install Dispenser Assembly

Determine position of dispenser mounting hole in sinktop or benchtop. Dispenser base template (Diagram 3) may be cut out and used to assist in correct positioning.

Refer to Diagram 2 for clearances allowed.

Hole size required is ø35mm.

—Stainless Steel Sinktop

A suitable 35mm hole punch (Part no:

857901) is available as an accessory from

Billi Pty Ltd. If possible, cut hole with die mounted below the sinktop surface so that burr is pulled downwards. Alternatively, remove burr and radius edge of hole with fine file. This allows barbed dispenser mount to slide smoothly into mounting hole.

—Timber/Laminate Benchtop

Maximum benchtop thickness is 54mm

Cut 35mm hole in appropriate position*.

When drilling through a particle board bench top, take care to avoid a large chip breaking away as drill breaks through underside surface. We recommend drilling a small pilot hole through benchtop, partially drilling the 35mm hole from underneath and then completing drilling the hole from above.

The large 30mm washer supplied may be used to secure barb where underside particle board bench top has chipped away.

* For granite or marble benchtops we recommend you use a certified stone mason to pre-drill the hole.

IMPORTANT: Remove burrs and check internal bore is completely smooth.

4. Fit Dispenser Head Assembly a. Feed dispenser tubing and loom through centre hole in the following order:

i. Dispenser power cord.

ii. Silicone tubes. b. Gently pull hoses from under the bench top, do not attempt to force tubing through with a pointed object as silicone tube is easily punctured.

Check tubing is not kinked or twisted.

c. Turn dispenser head assembly to approximately 60° from the straight ahead position of dispenser base.

Slide head assembly onto base assembly whilst gently pulling tubing downwards from underneath to prevent tubing bunching and kinking. Mounting lugs will pass nut and slide down the

3 grooves on the swivel bearing.

d. Once fully down, turn dispenser to straight ahead position. Fit chrome plated M4 retaining screw to lower rear threaded hole and tighten using the allen key supplied. If swivel feature activated check dispenser now swivels smoothly

45° in each direction.

2. Activate Dispenser Swivel Feature

To activate the swivel feature of your dispenser, you will need to remove the locking piece from the dispenser base. Push out the piece as shown in Diagram 4. This will allow the tap to move 45° to the left and right.

Power cord

3. Fit Dispenser Base a. Cut a 35mm hole in sinktop or benchtop.

Remove burr if protruding upwards.

b. Push barbed mounting shaft through mount hole. c. Insert barb locking bush as shown in Diagram 5. Finger tighten nut.

d. Ensure barb is centred in mount hole before tightening. Check position of base ring and gasket.

e. Moderately tighten locking nut using multigrips or spanner. Take care to avoid overtightening nut which may break the plastic threaded shaft.

f. Place large D washer over thread as shown in Diagram 6.

g. Cut off excess threaded shaft with a hacksaw, using washer as a cutting guide.

Flush mount remote panel.

—Determine Remote Panel Location

Dimensions and layout are shown in

Diagram 1. Panel can be installed on a wall, benchtop or even inside a cupboard

Minimum cut out dimensions are 121mm height x 70mm width. Minimum depth must be 20mm. Cut out cavity into the plaster wall.

Ensure the cable is pre-installed into the flush mount bracket before plastering.

Place the flush bracket into the plaster wall with the cable gap facing towards the ground.

—Installing the Remote Panel

Cable must be protruding out of the bottom of bracket – see Diagram 1.

Tape up the cable terminals before plastering process – see Diagram 2.

—Plaster and Paint

Start plastering as required.

Wait for the plaster to dry before cleaning the bracket.

Use a light sandpaper to give smooth finish on the drywall.

Then paint as required.

—Completing Installation

Take the tape off the cable connector and plug it into the panel – see Diagram 3

The panel and bracket are magnetic.

Upon install, the magnets will pull together and secure the module into place in place

– see Diagram 3.

Installation is finished – see Diagram 4.

Magnetic remover tool will be required again.

Do not throw away.

Installing underbench module.

XL, XT, XR.

power cord flexible hose

1. Flush Water Supply

Flush water supply pipework before installing the underbench unit by connecting 600mm flexible braided hose to the supply tap and running water into a bucket. Blockages/unit malfunction caused by debris are not covered under warranty.

2. Install Underbench Unit

Take care to observe minimum clearances.

This is particularly important with air-cooled models. Ensure there is adequate access to service the unit.

3. Connect Dispenser Tubing and Electrical Plug

Connect all tubing as shown in Diagram 9.

Ensure correct orientation of dispenser power plug before insertion. Trim tubes to correct lengths using plastic tube cutter.

Do not leave excess tubing which will sag, trapping water. Fit spring clamps supplied to retain silicone rubber tubing to barbed fittings.

IMPORTANT: Boiling outlet (red) and vent tube (grey) must not be kinked and must be installed with a continual fall.

Commissioning.

1. Turn On the Water Supply

Turn on water supply and ensure that there are no leaks. Remove front panel of unit and remove packing foam from under filter canister. Ensure filter canister is securely locked back into place. Replace front panel.

2. Power On

When power is applied the system checks the water level in the hot tank and if empty

(below the low level sensor) then the unit will enter the boiling point calibration mode.

This will normally only occur the first time a new system is turned on.

On power ON, if the hot tank level sensor is above the low level sensor, the unit will enter its normal operating mode at full power.

This will happen when the system has been installed and used at least once.

IMPORTANT: On initial power up, leave the unit for 10 minutes before attempting user setup.

—Boiling Point Calibration

The hot tank will first fill to the height of the low level sensor. The water is then heated until it reaches boiling point. The unit will continue to boil for up to 30 seconds while the temperature sensor calibrates.

While calibration is underway the hot water indicator (red) will double blink rapidly.

The hot water set point is calibrated 0.5°C below the boiling point. Once calibrated the unit will resume normal operations and the calibration data is saved.

The unit will not re-calibrate under normal circumstances. If a repeated calibration is required the following procedure should be followed:

– turn the water supply off

– run the hot water until the hot tank is empty

– turn the power off for 5 seconds, then on again

– turn water supply on

– the unit will then re-calibrate its boiling point.
