Installing underbench module.
Install Pressure limiting valve
a. Screw pressure limiting valve (PLV)
onto water supply tap using thread
sealant and PTFE plumbers tape.
b. Fit ¼-6mm fitting to outlet of PLV
Flush Water Supply
Flush water supply pipework before installing
the underbench unit by running water from
supply tap into a bucket. NOTE: Blockages/
unit malfunction caused by debris are not
covered by warranty.
Clearances for ventilation and service
Take care to observe minimum clearances.
Refer to Diagram 1 and 3. Ensure there
is adequate clearance for ventilation and
service access to the units taking into
consideration the tube lengths and space
available.
Tubing
Tube connections are made using push-fit
connectors. Trim tubes to correct length.
Tubes should be cleanly cut square using
a sharp knife or plastic tube cutter. Ensure
that tube ends are round and not flattened
or kinked, then push into connectors firmly
until properly seated. (To release, press the
collet ring in while gently pulling on the tube).
Minimizing the tube lengths will improve the
performance of the chilled and sparkling
water.
Connect tubing
a. Trim dispenser clear and blue tubes to
correct length by holding tubes against
outlet fittings at rear of chiller and
marking cutting point.
b. Fit 6mm stem elbows to ends of both
clear and blue tubes.
c. Tube elbow stems are inserted into
bulkhead fittings at rear of chiller. Refer
to diagram 5 and 7 for correct tube order
and colour coding.
d. Fit 6mm stem elbows to 2 x black and 1 x
clear tube found in installation kit.
e. Insert tube elbow stems into rear
bulkhead fittings. Refer to diagram 5 and
7 for correct tube order and colour
coding. Tip. It is easiest to fit these 3
tubes to chiller before unit is installed.
f. Connect black water inlet tube to filter
module OUTLET fitting.
g. Fit clear 6 mm tube to compression
fitting on CO₂ bottle regulator. Unscrew
compression nut and slide tube over
tapered fitting shank. Finger tighten
compression nut. Refer to diagram 6.
NOTE: At this stage, do not connect black feed
tube between the Water supply PLV and filter
module. This will be connected once ice bank
has been filled. Instead, connect the black ice
bank fill tube to the water supply PLV outlet
fitting. Refer to Diagram 5.

Diagram 7
Install Filter Module
Filter module must be mounted upright on
either the side or the rear of the cabinet.
Ensure there is sufficient clearance for
changing the filter cartridge. Filter module is
fixed using 2 x 6g screws supplied.
Install Chilled Water Module
Position chiller module in cupboard area
observing ventilation clearance requirements.
Assemble CO₂ bottle and pressure regulator
a. Remove CO₂ bottle from packaging
box. Remove plastic cap from threaded
outlet of bottle.
b. Remove CO₂ pressure regulator from
packaging and check pressure control
knob is turned fully anticlockwise.
c. Holding the CO₂ bottle upright, screw
the pressure regulator onto outlet. A
small amount of CO
regulator has been tightened.
d. Decide location of CO₂ bottle in
cupboard space.

Fill Chiller Module ice bank
a. Fit black ice bank fill tube from chiller into
water supply PLV fitting. Refer to Diagram 5
b. Turn on water supply tap slightly. After
about 15 seconds, water will show in the
bottom of the sight glass tube. Watch this
level rise as water is fed in.
c. Turn water tap off when water level reaches
the minimum fill marker. Refer to Diagram
8. If tank is overfilled, disconnect sight
glass elbow fitting from top bulkhead fitting
and swing tube downwards and drain
required amount of water. Water level in
this tank will rise a little later as an ice bank
forms.
d. Disconnect 6 mm black fill tube from PLV
outlet fitting. Fit black plastic cap supplied
in installation kit onto end of tube. Tuck
black tube behind modules for later use.
e. Connect remaining black 6 mm tube
from water supply PLV to INLET fitting of
filter module.
Turn on Water Supply
Ensure filter is securely locked back into place.
Turn on water supply tap and ensure that there
are no leaks.
Turn on Power Supply
Plug chiller module power lead into power point
and switch on. Ensure chiller power switch
located at the rear of unit is ON. Sparkling units
will begin filling automatically. See Diagram 9.
Turn on CO₂
a. CO₂ supply is turned on by tightening the
pressure adjusting knob clockwise. Set the
initial pressure to around 3 Bar.
b. Check CO₂ pipework and fittings for leakage
using soapy water bubble test.
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. Press left chilled water lever on dispenser
and let the water run for approximately 1
minute to condition filter.
d. Press right sparkling water lever and run
for approximately 20 seconds.
e. Check all fitting connections for leakage.
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 CO₂ using the following
procedure:
a. Press RH 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 lever. Wait until soda water
pump stops. Some CO₂ gas may be
released from internal relief valve as soda
tank refills.
d. Press each lever in turn and check that
water flows.
Set Chilled Water Temperature
Set the desired water temperature using
temperature control knob. Refer to Billi Alpine
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 8.
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. A pressure between 3
and 4 Bar will typically provide the right level of
carbonization.
WARNING: Do not set the pressure to exceed
5 Bar
Re-check connections for leaks.
Explain operation to user.
