period has ended.
Appendices
Self-installation instructions
Please note these instructions should be used in conjunction with this user’s manual and the BIBO Bar self-installation kit
which should have been delivered with your BIBO Bar.
These instructions should be followed by a plumber, kitchen fitter, builder, water cooler installer or similarly-experienced person. If
at all unsure please call us on 0800 678 5969 and ask to speak to one of our installation team.
Water Supply Connection
If you have a water softener fitted in your home the water connection for the BIBO should ideally be made before the
softener i.e. to an un-softened water supply. In case you need to turn off the mains water supply to your home, identify
where the tap/isolation valve is located before beginning the installation.
Preparation
1. As well as your BIBO Bar the box contains a self-installation kit consisting of a length of water pipe, a BIBO ‘T’
connector, a shut-off valve, a pressure relief valve and a right angle fitting. (There is included an additional length of
pipe with a straight connector if needed).
2. When you’ve decided where to locate your BIBO identify a suitable mains cold water supply nearby. More often than
not this will be under your kitchen sink or behind your dishwasher or washing machine. Ideally this should be a 15mm,
copper pipe in good condition with enough of the pipe exposed to enable you insert the BIBO ‘T’ connector.
3. Often there is a valve to enable you to isolate the chosen pipe. If not then it will be necessary to turn off the main
water supply to your home. Be sure to drain as much water as possible from the pipe before cutting it.
4. Using a suitable pipe cutter make two cuts in the pipe removing a 20mm section.
5. Push the two exposed ends of the copper pipe firmly into each end of the BIBO ‘T’ connector.
6. Make sure the tap on the BIBO ‘T’ connector is turned off i.e. parallel to the copper pipe.
7. Turn the water supply back on and make sure there are no leaks where the copper pipe fits into the BIBO ‘T’
connector.
8. Push the 6mm (white) water supply pipe provided with your BIBO firmly into the fitting on the ‘T’ piece.
9. Run this pipe behind or underneath your kitchen base cabinets then bring it up through the worktop behind your
BIBO Bar.
10. Push the end of the pipe into the (blue & white) shut-off valve (supplied with the BIBO ‘T’ connector).
