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
1,2 and 3 for clearances around the dispenser and 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 inlet supply pressure:
Min. 250 kPa, max. 1000 kPa
Supply Temperature: 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 is necessary.
IMPORTANT: Insufficient ventilation will cause inefficient refrigeration system operation, increasing power usage.
IMPORTANT: This Billi appliance is to be installed by a licensed trades person in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/NZ 3500.2 and in compliance with applicable state regulatory requirements. For correct operation of this appliance, it is essential to observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
Power Requirements A single 10 amp standard power outlet is required. All B-5000 units supplied with 1 metre flex cord and plug.
Installing the dispenser
IMPORTANT: This Billi appliance is to be installed by a licensed trades person in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/NZ 3500.2 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 4) may be cut out and used to assist in correct positioning. Refer to Diagram 2 for clearances allowed. Hole size required is ø32mm. Stainless Steel Sinktop
A suitable 35mm hole punch (Part no: 857901) is available as an accessory from Billi Australia 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 50mm. Cut 32mm 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 32mm 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 stone or granite bench tops you will require a certified stone mason to pre-drill the hole. 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. Simply push out the piece as show in Diagram 5. This will allow the tap to move 45 degrees to the left and right.
-
Fit Dispenser Base a. Cut a 32mm 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 6. 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 7.
-
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.

Commissioning
-
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. -
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.
WARNING: and small amounts of hot water may be discharged from the taps and vent during this period.
While calibration is underway the hot water indicator (red) will double
blink rapidly. The hot water set point is calibrated .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.
Re-check Connections for leaks Explain Operation to user.
