Installing your BIBO bar
BEFORE GETTING STARTED
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.
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 our experienced technical
team members.
On average, a BIBO bar installation
should take between one hour to an hour
and a half.
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 of the digital manual).
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 9 of the digital manual
for more details on this.
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).
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR BIBO bar
10cm
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 before choosing
where to place your BIBO bar.
Your BIBO bar needs to be installed in a
cool, dry place and kept away from any
heat source.
Your BIBO bar needs to be well ventilated.
In order to ensure this, please keep the
rear of the BIBO bar a minimum of 10cm
away from the wall. Don’t install your
BIBO bar in a cupboard or closed off
space.
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
and/or washing machine).
You will need an electrical power supply.
Your BIBO bar comes with a standard
3-pin (16amp) plug.
WATER SUPPLY
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 both
pipes under the sink. The one hot to the
touch is the hot water supply. WARNING:
the pipe can get extremely hot and cause
burns. Please take care!
The mains cold water supply will need
to be turned off before beginning the
installation. Often there is an angle stop
valve which will enable you to isolate
the cold water pipe. If not, then it will
be necessary to turn off the mains water
supply to your home/oce. 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 to do so especially in
newly renovated homes and oces.
