The u1 epitomises cutting-edge design and innovation with its contoured tap and compact under-counter unit. This is our most discreet range and will fit into
any environment seamlessly.
The under-counter dispensers supplied

with this tap are manufactured with the most modern and innovative technologies. All the materials and
components are tested during the entire production process in order to satisfy all expectations.

Alongside a robust steel frame this dispenser features stylish, injection moulded front side and top panels.

With its low noise characteristics this unit can be installed in any environment where limited space is an issue. It is controlled by microprocessor which, via specially fitted sensors, will notify the user of any malfunctions and automatically turn off the dispenser when dangerous conditions arise. A separate monitoring system will also let the operator know when the water filter needs to be replaced.

Using “Ice Bank” technology this unit can dispense up to 60 litres of water per hour, completely satisfying the demand of small, medium and large restaurants and catering areas with high performance and a compact design.

Please Note: Mains Installation Kit & Filters are supplied as extra items according to individual ordering requirement.

When planning and providing for the connection to the
services, always allow for easily accessible service isolator fittings and for the position of an external water filter.

Identify a suitable position for the swan neck faucet. A 33-35mm (max) hole is required.

When positioning to drain over an existing sink bowl, allow for the reach of the swan neck or otherwise the position of any optional drip tray.

Also allow for the height of the swan neck under any
overhanging cupboard/shelf.

Allow for the space needed for forming the required hole. Relate the selected position to the underneath of the counter and check for any obstructions.

Allow sufficient space for fitting a back nut to the faucet stem.

Carefully form the needed hole using the correct type of cutter for the work surface material.
Observe all local occupational health and safety requirements.

Remove the back nut and washer from the faucet and carefully feed the connecting pipe tail and ribbon cable through the hole formed in the work surface. Ensure the sealing O ring is prefitted in the base of the faucet. You may want to apply a thin bead of silicone sealant also.

With the faucet control panel in the right position, carefully refit the back washer and nut. Take care not to over-tighten.

Fit optional Drip Tray at this stage (if selected).

3. Connect u1 tap pipe work to outlet of solenoid box.

Note: Please make sure electrical power is turned off: Connect power to inlet of transformer that is fixed at rear of unit. Connect lead from outlet of transformer to solenoid box.

4. Connect u1 membrane to solenoid box.
5. Turn on power supply and set up is now complete.

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 fitted as supplied (or vent apertures formed) in the cabinet to allow an airflow as shown below. Normally this should be enough for all situations.
The air grilles fitted (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 flow 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 flow path from plinth to worktop).

Option 1 – Front View (Recommended air flow path from plinth to worktop).

Option 2 – Side View (Air flow from door or kick panel to worktop).

Option 3 – Front View (Air flow from side of cabient to worktop or opposite side panel).

Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks.

Connect the IEC power cord-set to the electricity supply, and switch on power.

The Direct Chill system should now be heard to begin filling. This may continue for a few minutes depending upon water pressure. (NB: Any immediate whining noise from the DC pump should soon stop as the water level in the system rises).

Upon completing the installation process, proceed to flush out the dispense water lines using the buttons on the tap. We recommend that a minimum of 10lts is flushed through the unit. (Cold approx.8lts and Ambient approx. 2lts).

Allow up to 1hr for the initial cooling cycle to complete.

NOTE:
If model includes the sparkling dispense option please refer to CO2 Bottle Installation

After carrying out the installation procedures detailed in the previous chapter, run the initial cold water operation as follows:
1. Ensure the CO2 bottle is properly connected to the dispenser (see Refillable C02 Bottle Installation).
2. Place a container with a capacity of 5 litres under the tap.
3. Dispense at least 3 litres of both ambient

and chilled water.
4. Hold the sparkling water button until sparkling water is dispensed.

The cold water temperature control has 3 settings – 4c, 6c and 8c. The undercounter unit is factory set to 6c.
If any adjustment is required, please carry out the following steps:
1. Locate the button on the back top left of the unit (see Fig1).
2. Press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds until you hear the signal beep, continue to hold whilst counting the number of bleeps. Use table below to set the temperature:

3. To change the setting: After carrying out steps 1 & 2, continue to hold the button on the back –
3a. To decrease the temperature,press the ambient dispense button 1x to reduce one stage or 2x to reduce two stages.

3b. To increase the temperature, press the cold dispense button 1x to raise one stage or 2x to raise two stages.

4. Release the programming button to save the selected setting.

5. Press and hold the programming button again and count the number of bleeps to confirm the setting is saved.

After carrying out the installation procedures detailed in the previous chapter, run the initial cold water operation as follows:

1. Lift the upper plastic cover off of the dispenser by pulling it up.
2. If not done already, fill the ice tank with clean water paying special attention not to wet any of the electrical components.
3. Fill the ice tank to the arrow that indicates the maximum level (see Fig 1). After filling the tank do not move the dispenser as doing so could cause water to spill from the tank. NOTE: if this device is operated without water in the ice tank it will cause
serious damage to the machine.
4. Dry any drops or splashes caused by filling the ice tank.
5. Pull the ring of the safety valve on the carbonator, releasing gas for at least 2/3 seconds (see Fig 2).
6. Open the water shut off valve on the supply line.

7. Place a container with a capacity of at least 5 litres under the dispensing taps.
8. Dispense at least 3/4 litre of ambient still water, and at least 3/4 litre of chilled water.
9. Position the thermostat switch to number 7, and wait for 2 – 3 minutes.
10.Position the 5 litre container under the sparkling water tap and dispense until only gas comes out.
11.Replace the upper plastic cover and wait for 90 – 120 minutes before dispensing water again so ice may form in the tank.
12.Once started the device must be left operating permanently. If the power supply is interrupted for more than 2 – 3 hours it could cause faults within the ice tank and consequently freeze the water coil. NOTE: If a similar anomaly occurs follow ice bank
defrosting procedure (see Ice Tank Defrosting & Emptying – 60-Litre).

Turn clockwise to decrease water temperature

Unpack CO2 Regulator and fit elbow fitting to spigot outlet.

Attach the regulator to the disposable CO2 bottle, ensuring the small pressure relief vent in the stem is facing away from you or anyone else. Ensure the regulator is closed. Hand tighten securely.

Connect the assembled CO2 bottle and regulator to the CO2 inlet on the back (20L) or side (30L) panel using a ¼” pipe.

Stand the cylinder in a suitable place.

On the 20Litre variant: Do not open the regulator valve until the carbonated switch has been turned on.

After completing the water installation, turn on the soda power switch and the pump will run. Allow the carbonation tank to fill. (The carbonation pump will run for between 15 seconds – 2 minutes).). We recommend
between 3.5 – 5 bar (max). Do not exceed 5 bar pressure.

Flush through approximately 10 litres of water using the sparkling button. Depending on the inlet water pressure, on the 20Litre model you may have to pause approx. every 500ml to allow the carbonation tank to refill. Check and adjust the CO2 pressure accordingly.

It will be necessary to leave the machine for up to 1 hour for sparkling water to develop, by absorbing the CO2.

NOTE:

• Before connecting the CO2 bottle ensure the gas being used is food certified.
• 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 refillable CO2 bottle is being used screw the pressure reducer on to the gas bottle with a spanner (28mm). If however a singleuse gas bottle is in operation, screw the reducer on to the bottle by hand.
3. If using a refillable gas bottle open it by turning the upper hand grip counterclockwise (item1- fig 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 fit 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- fig 2).
7. Turn the black handle of the pressure reducer clockwise (turning towards the + sign) (item 2- fig 2).
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 Refillable 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- fig 2).
3. Close the pressure reducer by turning the knob anticlockwise (item2- fig 2).
4. Remove the CO2 pipe from the pressure reducer, and detach the other end from the dispenser.
5. Screw the adapter (optional) for the external CO2 bottle to the new pressure reducer and tighten it firmly.
6. Connect one end of the new CO2 pipe to the pressure reducer and the other to the appropriate connection point on the dispenser (see 30/60 Litre Major Components).
7. Screw the ring nut of the adapter assembled on the pressure reducer to the CO2 bottle.
8. Open the valve at the top of the new CO2 bottle.
9. Reattach any chains or belts removed from the bottle and return it to its normal position.
10. Check for leaks using soapy water.
