Caution and safety
Boiling water is dangerous and can cause severe burns, particularly with young children. Boiling water must always be handled with caution. Use this appliance only as directed in these instructions and only for the purpose for which it has been designed. Your Billi B-5000 is designed to be safe and practical. In an environment with young children, it is recommended that the boiling water safety switch is activated.
The following safety features have been included:
- Ergonomic levers
- Levers/touch activations located safely above water outlet.
- Smooth electronically controlled boiling water flow rate. Flow is briefly reduced as water first enters cup to prevent splashing.
- Dispenser remains cool to touch.
- Childproof safety switch.
- Boiling water Safety Isolation mode.
General Maintenance
Your B-5000 Sparkling has been designed to require minimal maintenance other than replacement of filter cartridges. During each filter change, check all water connection fittings for signs of leakage. Check all tubing for any signs of damage. Check the cupboard area around the base of unit for any signs of moisture. Ensure side vents of the under bench module are kept clear and airflow is not obstructed. Restricted airflow will cause inefficient operation of the refrigeration system.
—Cleaning the dispenser
Your B-5000 Sparkling Dispenser is fabricated from solid zinc casting material with tough protective chrome plating. Proper care of the Billi Electronic dispenser crucial; Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Wipe clean using a damp cloth. Use of a non-solvent, non-smearing cleaner such as Windex is recommended. Do not pour water over dispenser.
Cupboard ventilation requirements
Your B-5000 Sparkling underbench module requires cupboard ventilation, refer to install guide for details. Care should be taken when using the cupboard space, to avoid stretching or damaging plastic pipe work. Check fittings and tubing at each filter change for signs of damage or leakage. Always ensure access to power switch and water supply tap is not restricted.
Features and Modes
Dispenser Swivel
The B-5000 dispenser incorporates a swivel function, allowing the dispenser to be swung out of the way if more sink space is required. A central position stop provides positive location during normal usage.
Safety Timeout
Your B-5000 Sparkling incorporates a water delivery Safety Timeout to prevent an uncontrolled flow of water. Water flow stops automatically after a set time interval. Flow can be started again by releasing and pressing the dispenser lever or buttons.
Boiling water timeout - 10 secs;
Chilled water - 1 minute.
Childproof safety switch
Your B-5000 Sparkling is fitted with a childproof safety lock-out feature to protect against accidental dispensing of boiling water and the risk of burns. Please refer to safety switch settings on page 5.
Self learning timer (Ecolntelligence)
Your Billi B-5000 incorporates an energy saving self learning timer. This timer learns the users behaviour over a period of time (up to one month) and pre-empts the need for water throughout each 24-hour period over a week. Data is lost when the power is removed however learnings from the first days use is applied to the entire learning cycle so the unit will quickly resume intelligent timer operation. When the self-learning timer is enabled the unit will enter standby if no water is expected to be used for a 3 hour or more period. The unit will shutdown completely if no water is expected to be used for a 6 hour or more period. In office environments this feature will typically cause the unit to turn off outside normal business hours, ie: overnight and on weekends. In domestic environments with no one home during working hours the unit will turn off through each weekday but may remain on at night and during weekends. See page 6 for dispenser icons. To activate, refer to Options, page 5.
Standby Mode
Standby operation may be optionally enabled to reduce power consumption. In standby mode the hot water set point is reduced to 72°C. When enabled, standby is invoked after two hours from the time of last use. When a tap lever or button is pressed in standby no water is dispensed. The indicators will flash to indicate the water is not ready. The lever or button can be repressed to dispense water. During Standby mode the moon & star icon will flash. See page 6 for dispenser icons. To activate, refer to Options, page 5.
Boiling water disabled mode
Your B-5000 Sparkling features an additional boiling water safety isolation feature. Once activated, delivery of boiling water becomes totally disabled. Chilled water can be dispensed normally.
During this mode, the red, hot, icon will remain off. To activate, refer to Options & Operation, Safety Switch Settings, page 5.
Holiday mode
Holiday Mode is provided to save energy when the unit will not be used for long periods. In this mode both the water chiller and water heater are disabled and the unit will use very little power. Pressing the Pressure Relief button places the unit in Holiday Mode. The unit will exit Holiday Mode if either the power is turned off then on or if any of the levers are pressed. The Self Learning Timer will ignore user behaviour while the unit is in Holiday Mode and resume normal operation when the mode is terminated. Holiday Mode is indicated by the star & moon icon being illuminated. See page 6 for icon images.

Billi Filter Cartridges
The B-5000 Sparkling is fitted with single dual action filter incorporating sediment and chemical removal elements. All Billi B-5000 filters are manufactured using bacteria and biofilm resistant materials for improved water quality.
Premium filters provide better tasting water due to the high quality, carbon chemical removal filter. Sub micron rated, these filters have excellent chemical absorption, removing or reducing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemicals, tastes and odours. Use only genuine filters as designed for this system. All drinking water filtration systems should be flushed after a period of non-use. If your B-5000 Sparkling has not been used for a period of 48 hours or more, flush the system for 1 minute.
Filter Change Due Monitor
The B-5000 Sparkling filter change due monitor operates by counting the number of cups dispensed and the number of days elapsed until a pre-set level is reached. Once reached, the yellow filter icon as pictured above will turn on. The B-5000 Sparkling will continue to operate while the filter indicator is flashing. Water filters installed in areas with higher levels of sediment will experience a reduced service life. It may be necessary to change filters before the change filter indicator flashes. If particularly dirty water is noticed coming through the water supply, e.g. from other tap ware, immediately place your B-5000 Sparkling into Holiday Mode by pressing the Pressure Relief button. This will help prevent premature blocking of the filter cartridges.
Replacement of Billi Filter Cartridge
Periodic replacement of your Filter Cartridge is necessary to maintain the cleanliness of your drinking water. Billi recommends a filter replacement every 6 months. A replacement filter change service is available. If you wish to install the replacement filter cartridges yourself, your Billi representative will provide genuine Billi replacement filter cartridge sets.

Three-step line drawings of a device interior showing front, side, and top views (no text or symbols)Removing the CO_2 cylinder
- Isolate the water supply and turn off the power.
- This will prevent the internal pump from pressurizing the system.
-
Turn off the CQ regulator by turning the black knob anti-clockwise.
-
Drain any remaining pressure by activating the sparkling water option on the dispenser installed.
Ensure the pressure gauge shows near to zero pressure – if the pressure is less than one bar, and the dial is fully anti-clockwise, then the cylinder can be removed with only a small amount of CO_2 escaping
- Hold the regulator and rotate the Cylinder clockwise to remove.
- If the bottle is not empty, CQ may escape while you are turning the bottle. The bottle will self-seal prior to the thread being free from the regulator.
- Avoid breathing air containing CO_2 or contact with the cold escaping gas as per the Safety Data Sheet.
