Fill the Reservoir
Fill the reservoir tap water. Do not fill the reservoir with glycol as dropping the temperature to
below 0°C will freeze the water inside the carbonation keg.
The reservoir can easily be accessed flipping the service hatch on the top of unit. Add water to the
reservoir using a jug or funnel as shown below until the cooling coils are completely submerged.

Benchy Sparkling –Bench Top Setup
The Benchy Sparkling can be tucked away cleanly under a counter or it can be displayed and used on
the bench top as a benchtop sparkling and still water dispenser.
To use the Benchy Sparkling as a benchtop dispenser it requires the SPARKLING OUT and CHILLED
OUT lines to be redirected to shanks and taps inserted into the front of the Benchy Sparkling.
The following items (sold separately) are suggested to install the Benchy Sparkling as a bench top
dispenser:
2 x NukaTap Flow Control (KL15523) + 2 x NukaTap FC Auto Close Springs (KL17985)
2 x 100mm Duotight Long Shank S.S
2 x Tap Handles of your choice.
1 x 7 in faucet tap wrench/spanner tool (KL07672)
A sharp Stanley knife or a 2 in 1 tube cutter (KL07689) will also be required to shorten the length of
the sparkling water OUT and cold still water OUT tubing.

Shanks and Taps Installation
1. Remove the two plastic plugs on the front of the Benchy Sparkling by pinching the raised
clips on the back of the plugs together.
2. Insert the 100mm duotight long shanks into the pre-cut holes.

Redirecting the SPARKLING OUT and CHILLED OUT Hosing
1. Ensure the mains water and CO2gas supply are turned off or disconnected and the soda
carbonator keg is completely depressurised before removing any tubing from the push in
fittings.
2. Remove the 4mm x 8mm EVABarrier tubing from the bulkhead of the sparkling water OUT
and cold still water OUT push in fittings on the back of the Benchy Sparkling. To correctly
remove the tubing from the push in fitting refer to the push in fittings instructions below.
3. Cut down the EVABarrier tubing using a sharp Stanley knife or 2 in 1 tube cutter such that
the length is long enough to reach to the shank. Ensure the tubing is cut cleanly and straight
with no burs.
4. Insert the sparkling water OUT and cold still water OUT tubing securely into the duotight
fittings on the back of the shanks. To correctly insert the tubing into the duotight fitting refer
to the push in fittings instructions below.

Removal of EVABarrier Tubing from push in Fittings
1. Remove the blue locking circlip on the collet of the push in fitting.
2. Press the collet into the push in fitting and at the same time pull back on the hose.
Insertion of EVABarrier Tubing into push in Fittings
1. Use a sharp knife or 2 in 1 tube cutter to ensure the tube has a clean, straight cut with no
burs. Do not cut at an angle.
2. Push the tube into the push in fitting ensuring that the tubing is pushed in past the o-ring to
its full depth.
3. Check for a good connection by gently pulling back on the tube. If the tube comes out of the
push in fitting, reinsert into the fitting ensuring the tube is pushed far enough into the
fitting.
