Using your BIBO
Initial connection to an electrical supply
Once your BIBO has been plugged in to a power supply, the screen will display the BIBO logo;
this means it is operating correctly. Select your preferred language and then follow the
instructions on the screen, adding hot and cold water to the respective tanks. (Once the tanks
are full, water will flow from the outlet at the front of the dispenser.)
Before using your BIBO for the first time
After turning your BIBO on for the first time we suggest you dispense at least 15 litres of water
using both the hot & cold keys.
Important: When using a new or freshly cleaned BIBO for the first time, it’s important that water
is flowing from both the hot and cold keys when they are touched, before you switch on the hot
water tank.

Once you have flushed 15 litres of water through the system, turn t
