Our experienced installation teams are here to make sure that your BIBO bar is correctly installed. If you are installing your own BIBO bar, then please read through all the instructions carefully, familiarising yourself with and understanding all the steps completely before beginning.

CAUTIONARY NOTES

Your BIBO bar weighs 17kg, so please take care when lifting it from its box.

The hot tank switch is clearly labeled at the back of your BIBO bar (See page 4, number 8).

YOUR BIBO BAR TOOLKIT

Your BIBO bar comes with a self installation kit consisting of a 3m length of 6mm white water supply pipe (1), a BIBO ½” “T” connector with a ball valve (2), an easy to ﬁt right angled stem ﬁtting (3) and a zapper key (4).

If you are at all uncertain about any of the steps, please call us on 0800 00 BIBO (2426) and ask to speak to one of

BIBO bar - User Manual

our experienced technical team members.

On average, a BIBO bar installation should take between one hour to an hour and a half.

Please ensure that you do NOT turn the hot tank switch on until the BIBO bar has ﬁlled itself with water.

Switching the hot tank switch on before your BIBO bar has ﬁlled with water will require a call out from our technical team (this comes with a fee).

See page 9, point i, for more details on this.

WHERE TO PLACE YOUR BIBO bar WATER SUPPLY

CONTENTS

The BIBO bar often takes centre stage in the kitchen and fast becomes the most loved and used appliance. It is for this reason that the choice of where to place and display your BIBO bar needs to be one that offers both convenience and style.

However a few considerations need to be taken into account

Your BIBO bar needs to be installed in a cool, dry place and kept away from any heat source.

There will need to be a suitable mains cold water supply nearby (more often than not, this will be located under your kitchen sink or behind your dishwasher

The water pressure should be between 4bar (58psi) and 6bar (87psi).

Before beginning the installation, you will need to identify a mains cold water supply nearby. To identify the cold water supply, turn on the hot tap and wait for the ﬂowing water to get hot. Feel

oce. Please identify where the tap/isolation valve is located before beginning.

Ensure that your water feed/ supply is ﬂushed out thoroughly into a bucket until clear water is visible with no sediment or dirt particles in the water. This is to ensure your BIBO

bar does not block up. Be sure before choosing where to place your BIBO bar.
