30/60-Litre - Ventilation Grill Installation
When Borg & Overström u1 undercounter
units are installed inside a cabinet or
housing, adequate ventilation is
recommended to ensure that they operate
satisfactorily.
During a cooling cycle it is normal for the
unit to produce heat and the purpose of
the ventilation is to provide a supply of
air that can absorb the generated heat
which otherwise will accumulate inside the
cabinet or housing and reduce the cooling
performance of the unit. The amount of heat
generated by the cooling cycle depends
directly upon the amount of usage – the
higher the usage, the more heat produced.
To provide adequate ventilation we
recommend that air grilles/vents are tted
as supplied (or vent apertures formed) in
the cabinet to allow an airow as shown
below. Normally this should be enough for
all situations.
The air grilles tted (or vent apertures formed)
should each have a ventilation area equal
to or greater than 25000mm2 and the air
circulation path inside the cabinet/housing
must be unobstructed. (eg: a vent grille with
an overall size of 250mm x 100mm).
It is recommended that an inlet vent grille is
set into the plinth with a corresponding vent
grille in the base of the cabinet behind the
undercounter unit to allow the air to ow
past the condenser. An exhaust vent grille is
also required at the top if the cabinet. It is
recommended either behind the tap in the
work surface or at the side of the cabinet for
a more unobtrusive appearance should this
area be available.
Option 1 - Side View (Recommended air ow path from plinth to worktop).

30/60-Litre - Rellable CO2 Bottle Installation
NOTE:
• Before connecting the CO2 bottle ensure
the gas being used is food certied.
• Do not lay the CO2 bottle on its side
whilst attaching the pressure reducer,
make sure it is always in an upright
position when carrying out this task.
• Always ensure the reducer’s working
pressure is higher than the cylinders max
pressure.
• Do not place hands or any other part of
the body near the gas as this may cause
freeze burns.
• A small amount of gas leakage during
set-up/replacement is normal.
1. Connect the assembled CO2 bottle and
regulator to the CO2 inlet on the rear
panel (60L) using a 6mm pipe or side
panel (30L) using a ¼” pipe (see Fig1)
2. In instances where a rellable CO2
bottle is being used screw the pressure
reducer on to the gas bottle with a
spanner (28mm). If however a single-
use gas bottle is in operation, screw the
reducer on to the bottle by hand.
3. If using a rellable gas bottle open it
by turning the upper hand grip counter-
clockwise (item1- g 2).
4. Ensure the CO2 bottle is securely
connected to the dispenser using the
1/4” plastic tube.
5. Insert one end of the tube into the quick
t coupling at the rear or side of the
machine, and the other connected to the
reducer of the gas bottle.
6. Open the gas bottle by turning the upper
hand grip counter-clockwise (item1- g 2).
7. Turn the black handle of the pressure
reducer clockwise (turning towards the +

8. Check that any connection points are
free of leaks using soapy water.
Adjusting Sparkling Water
By adjusting the pressure reducer it is
possible to increase or decrease the amount
the amount of CO2 present in the water; the
optimal recommended values range from
2 – 5 bar. A higher pressure will increase the
amount of carbonation in the water, with a
lower pressure producing ‘slightly sparkling’
water. CO2 pressure must be set at
+0.5Bar > incoming water pressure.
Replacing a Rellable CO2 Tank
1. Detach the CO2 bottle from any
supporting chains or belts.
2. Close the valve at the top of the bottle
by turning it clockwise until completely
locked (item1- g 2).
3. Close the pressure reducer by turning the
knob anticlockwise (item2- g 2).
