Features and Modes

Dispenser Swivel
The B-5000 dispenser incorporates a swivel function, allowing the dispenser to be swung out of the way if more sink space is required. A central position stop provides positive location during normal usage.

Your Billi B-5000 incorporates a water delivery Safety Timeout to prevent an uncontrolled flow of water. Water flow stops automatically after a set time interval. Flow can be started again by releasing and pressing the dispenser lever or buttons.
Boiling water timeout – 10 secs; Chilled water – 1 minute.

Childproof safety switch
Your Billi B-5000 is fitted with a childproof safety lock-out feature to protect against accidental dispensing of boiling water and the risk of burns. Please refer to safety switch settings on page 5.

Self learning timer (EcoIntelligence)
Your Billi B-5000 incorporates an energy saving self learning timer. This timer learns the users behaviour over a period of time (up to one month) and pre-empts the need for water throughout each 24-hour period over a week. Data is lost when the power is removed however learnings from the first days use is applied to the entire learning cycle so the unit will quickly resume intelligent timer operation. When the self-learning timer is enabled the unit will enter standby if no water is expected to be used for a 3 hour or more period. The unit will shutdown completely if no water is expected to be used for a 6 hour or more period. In office environments this feature will typically cause the unit to turn off outside normal business hours, ie: overnight and on weekends. In domestic environments with no one home during working hours the unit will turn off through each weekday but may remain on at night and during weekends. See page 6 for dispenser icons. To activate, refer to Options, page 5.

Standby Mode
Standby operation may be optionally enabled to reduce power consumption. In standby mode the hot water set point is reduced to 72°C and the cold water set point is increased to 18°C. When enabled, standby is invoked after two hours from the time of last use. When a tap lever or button is pressed in standby no water is dispensed. The indicators will flash to indicate the water is not ready. The lever or button can be repressed to dispense water. During Standby mode the moon & star icon will flash.

Billi Filter Cartridges
The Billi B-5000 features the Billi swingchange filtration system . The B-5000 is fitted with a single filter . The filters use Fibredyne™ technology which is fibrous and matted together, increasing the surface area of the carbon, meaning there is greater contact time and improved quality of filtration . It incorporates five stage filtration, removing sediment and chemical elements as well as enabling minerals to flow though the appliance without allowing scale build up and arresting the growth of bacterial microorganisms such as giardia and cryptosporidium . Use only genuine filters as designed for this system . All drinking water filtration systems should be flushed after a period of non- use

Replacement of Billi Filter Cartridge
Periodic replacement of your Billi B-5000 filter cartridge is necessary to maintain the sparkling cleanliness and purity of your drinking water .
A replacement filter change service is available . To arrange, contact the Billi Service centre on 1800 812 321 .
If you wish to install the replacement filter cartridges yourself, filters can be purchased online at www.billi.com .au or through a certified agent which will provide genuine Billi replacement filter cartridge sets .

Filter Change Due Monitor
The B-5000 filter change due monitor operates by counting the number of cups dispensed and the number of days elapsed until a pre-set level is reached. Once reached, the yellow filter icon as pictured above will turn on. The B-5000 will continue to operate while the filter indicator is flashing. Water filters installed in areas with higher levels of sediment will experience a reduced service life. It may be necessary to change filters before the change filter indicator flashes. If particularly dirty water is noticed coming through the water supply, e.g. from other tap ware, immediately place your Billi B-5000 into Holiday Mode by pressing the Pressure Relief button. This will help prevent premature blocking of the filter cartridges.
