Using your BIBO Bar
If you are installing your BIBO Bar yourself, please carefully read the self-installation instructions on page 12 of this manual.
Before using the BIBO Bar for the first time
Before plugging in and switching on the BIBO Bar ensure the hot tank switch (see page 4 of this manual) is in the OFF (‘0’)
position. Failure to do this before the hot tank is full and water is flowing from the water outlet may cause the hot tank
thermal overload switch to trip. Also ensure the cold tank switch is in the OFF (‘0’) position.

automatically. As soon as the hot water tank is full you will be able to dispense water by touching the unlock key then
the mix water key . You can now turn on the hot water tank using the hot tank on/off switch on the back of the BIBO
Bar. The hot water indicator on the control panel lights up. When the maximum hot water temperature is reached the
indicator goes out.
Cold Water System
As soon as the cold water tank is full you will be able to dispense water by touching the cold water key . You can now
turn on the cold tank using the cold tank on/off switch on the back of the BIBO Bar.

Energy saving
Sleep mode
To save energy your BIBO Bar will go to sleep (into a low power state) after 4 hours of non-use. The indicator light on
the front of the BIBO Bar will turn purple. When sleeping the cold water temperature will gradually rise to 10°C and the
hot water temperature will gradually drop to 75°C. Simply touch any key to wake it up again. The hot and cold water will
reach their optimum temperatures again after approximately 5 minutes and 15 minutes respectively.
BIBO Bar information & maintenance
Replacing the MAXI filter cartridge
To ensure the water from your BIBO Bar continues to taste good the MAXI filter cartridge should be replaced every 6
months. Don’t worry, we will remind you when the filter is due to be changed.
How to replace the MAXI filter cartridge
Remove the lid from the top of the BIBO Bar by lifting it from the back first.
To relieve the water pressure in the filter cartridge turn off the water supply to the BIBO Bar by twisting the blue tap at
the back of the BIBO Bar so that the lever is at right angles to the white water pipe. Dispense at least 500ml of cold water.
You will see the white top of the filter cartridge on the right hand side near to the front. It has a handle protruding from
the top. Turn the handle firmly anti-clockwise then pull the cartridge upwards and out.
Remove the new MAXI filter cartridge from its packaging and insert it. Turn it firmly clockwise to install it.
Turn the water supply to the BIBO Bar back on by twisting the blue tap at the back of the BIBO Bar so that the lever is in
line with the white water pipe.

Cleaning your BIBO
Clean your BIBO Bar by simply wiping it down with a damp cloth. Soap or any other gentle detergent can also be used if
you wish. The drip tray can be removed and cleaned in your dishwasher.
Please don’t use harsh detergents, concentrated washing up liquid or solvents to clean your BIBO. Avoid using anything
abrasive (such as steel brushes, scourers etc.) to clean the body as it will scratch.
It’s very important that you don’t wet the back of the machine whilst cleaning – remember it is
connected to an electrical supply.
Safety notes
•This BIBO Bar is for indoor use only. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or next to flammable materials. Avoid placing the
BIBO Bar near other appliances that could get damaged if wet. Do not immerse the BIBO Bar in water.
•The BIBO Bar uses 230VAC voltage and should be used with a 13 amp fuse in the plug top.

•The BIBO Bar dispenses safe and great-tasting drinking water. The tanks are not pressurized and the hot tank is directly
connected to the hot water outlet. No valves are used so it is normal therefore for a small amount of excess water to
be released once water has been dispensed.
•The BIBO Bar can produce high temperature hot water. As with any kettle, pan or appliance capable of producing hot
water please use caution when dispensing hot water.
•When your BIBO Bar is turned on for the first time, or after a period of not being used, please run at least 2 litres of
water through both the hot and cold outlets before drinking any, to ensure the water is fresh.
•Warning: The BIBO Bar must be used with a reliable earth in the mains power supply socket.
•Warning: Always ensure the drip tray is fitted securely before filling a cup placed on it.
For further notes or detailed explanations on the operation of the machine, please contact BIBO via email at
[email protected]
