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 sink top or bench top. Dispenser base
template (Diagram 5) may be cut out and
used to assist in correct positioning. Ref
er to
Diagram 2 for clearances allowed. Hole size
required is ø32mm.
The Billi XL dispenser is supplied with base
assembly preassembled into dispenser
upper and this must be first removed prior to
starting installation. Using allen key supplied
in installation kit, remove chrome plated
M4 screw from rear of housing. Twist base
casting around 60º and then slide assembly
out of upper housing. Carefully pull tubing
and electrical cable and plug through base
assembly.
—Stainless Steel Sinktop
A suitable 32mm 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 substrate chipping and
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 bench top
substrate has chipped away.
—Granite/Marble Benchtop
For granite or marble bench tops
we recommend that you use a certified
stone mason to pre-drill the hole.
2. Activate Dispenser Swivel Feature
The XL dispenser can be installed either as
locked into straight position or able to swivel
45º in either direction. To activate the swivel
feature of your dispenser, remove the
locking piece from the dispenser base.
Simply push out the piece as show in
Diagram 6. This will allow the tap to swivel to
the left and right.
3. Fit Dispenser Base
a. Cut a 32mm hole in sinktop or benchtop.
Remove burr if protruding upwards.

‘AMBIENT OUTLET’ fitting on Boiling
Module. Refer to Diagram 10.
b. Lift cold water lever on dispenser tap.
After about 15 seconds, water will show
in the bottom of the sight glass tube.
Watch this level rise as water is fed in.
Note: If ambient water flow stops before
ice bank is full, release cold lever and lift
again. If FILL FAULT light shows, turn
power switch at rear of chiller off and on.
c. Release cold lever when water level
reaches the minimum fill marker. Refer to
Diagram 15. If tank is overfilled,
disconnect sight glass elbow fitting

Boiling water temperature calibration
Boiling water module will begin to heat after
water level in the tank reaches the lower
level sensor. The unit will also automatically
begin a temperature calibration cycle. During
the calibration cycle, hot water temperature
continues to rise until it begins to boil. Once
water is boiling, the temperature does not
rise any further as all electrical energy is
converted to steam. The unit will continue
to boil for up to 30 seconds while the
temperature sensor calibrates.
WARNING: Steam and small amount of hot
water may be discharged from the taps and
vent during this period. While calibration cycle
is operating, the hot water indicator (red) will
double blink rapidly.
Once calibration cycle is completed, the unit will
resume normal operations and the calibration
data is saved.
Chiller set up
a. Ensure Chiller power lead is plugged into
power point and turned on
b. Ensure chiller module power switch located
at rear of module is turned on.
c. Lift chilled lever on dispenser and let the
water run until it stops automatically. (60s)
d. Return the chilled lever to the center
position.
e. Lift both levers up together and hold for
about 20 seconds. Water should run from
the dispenser.
f. Release the levers and check for leaks
Set up CO₂ system
a. Screw CO
hand tighten. Some gas may escape during
this process.
b. Open the CO
knob clockwise (diagram 12)
c. Set the initial pressure to around 3 Bar.
d. Press both tap levers and dispense water
and ensure the gas pressure stabilizes.
NOTE: Water carbonation levels will
continue to increase until water in the soda
canister has become chilled and air has
been dispelled.
Purging air from the CO₂ system
Air trapped in the soda tank is detrimental
to the production of sparkling water and full
carbonation may not be reached until 2-3 days
of use. To speed this process, it is beneficial
to purge the tank with CO
procedure:
a. Lift both tap levers and allow soda water to
flow.
b. Continue to run the tap until the tank is
empty and gas flows from the outlet. Soda
water feed pump will continue to run.
c. Release tap levers. Wait until soda water
pump stops. Press both tap levers together
and check that water flows.
d. Press cold lever only and check that water
flows.
Set Chilled Water Temperature
Set the desired water temperature using
temperature control knob. Refer to Billi B-5000
Sparking User Guide. Chiller refrigeration
system will run continuously for approximately
2 – 3 hours as ice is formed in the ice bank. As
a significant amount of heat is dispelled during
this time, it is advisable to leave a cupboard
door ajar during the initial cool down. As ice
expands, the water level in the ice bank tank
will rise slightly. Check water level is within
operating range on sight glass level markings.
Water level can be reduced if necessary. See
Diagram 15.
NOTE: To drain water from ice tank, disconnect
upper sight-glass fitting, swing tube downwards
and drain water into a cup or container.

Adjusting carbonation level
It is advisable to wait for cold water
temperature to stabilize and air to be purged
from the sparkling water unit before adjusting
the carbonation level. Initial set point may vary
once the unit is running. You may need to adjust
the pressure once the system has stabilized.
A pressure between 3 and 4 Bar will typically
provide the right level of carbonization.
