2) To change the CO2 cylinder, first shut off the valve by turning the knob on top of the bottle clockwise.

1) The ideal setting for your CO2 gas pressure is between 3 to 4 bar, as shown here.
2) Adjust this with the adjuster knob on the front of the gauge. Use a screwdriver.
3) Turning the knob clockwise will increase the pressure, giving more “fizz” to the water.

4) Turn the CO2 gas back on, using the valve and set the pressure between 3-4 bar (you can adjust this by using a screwdriver to adjust the knob on the front of the gauge as per picture below).

5) Run another 2 continuous litres of sparkling water.

Handling Belu Filter bottles:

 

  • Belu filter bottles are designed to be filled with Belu filtered sparkling, chilled or unchilled still water only. Never hot water.

 

  • Bottles should not be handled by children.

 

  • New bottles should be thoroughly cleaned before use, by hand or in a dishwasher with bottles placed upside down in bottle washing tray. Bottles should be regularly examined before filling. If bottle shows any damages (e.g. scratches, cracks, chips, leakage of the cap or long-lasting odour), dispose of it.

 

  • Before filling your clean bottles, ensure your hands, your filter machine and the surrounding area is clean.

 

  • Fill only up to the pre-defined volume level, do not overfill. Close cap straight after filling.

 

  • Once bottles are freshly filled with filtered water, they should be stored in a clean, cool place, out of sunlight (preferably a refrigerator) and consumed within one day.

 

  • Remember that bottles filled with both sparkling and still water are under pressure and shouldn’t be subjected to high temperatures of more than 35 deg C due to the risk of breakage.

 

  • Do not microwave or freeze bottles. Full bottles should not be washed under a hot tap.

 

  • Use dedicated storage crates and dishwasher racks for both full and empty bottles to reduce the risk of damage. Store empty bottles upright and open in a cool, dry, clean space. Store filled bottles in an upright position.

 

Cleaning Belu Filter bottles:

 

  • Clean bottles after each use by hand or in a dishwasher. Place bottles open and upside down in the dishwasher rack and do not wash other items (like plates or cutlery) at the same time.

 

  • In a professional dishwasher: 60-65°C for at least 90 seconds.

 

  • In a domestic dishwasher: 60-65°C for at least 30 minutes.

 

  • Always use clean water for washing caps and lids as otherwise they may discolour.
    After cleaning, keep bottles in the rack, outside the dishwasher for cooling and drying. Do not close the cap on empty bottles (even when cool and dry). Always wait until bottles are clean and dry before refilling.

 

  • For swing stoppers: leave caps attached to bottles during cleaning process and do not close them.

Clean dispensing taps, drip tray and all other touchable surfaces with antibacterial wipes or a non-abrasive cloth and disinfectant spray.

Clean glasses and bottles thoroughly before use.

Try not to touch the dispensing nozzle with your hands or the bottle to avoid any cross contamination and to ensure the nozzle stays clean.

NOTE: The chiller unit should be kept free of dust and the vents should not be obstructed so that air flows freely.

Before standstill times longer than 3 days:

Stop the water supply. Close the CO2 bottle valve. Always keep the water dispenser connected to the power supply. Make sure that no-one attempts to use the unit while water is disconnected. Note: There is a risk of bacteria and germ growth anytime the water dispenser has been disconnected from the power supply for longer than 120 minutes. If this was the case, flush the water dispenser as per below (4 days to 4 weeks) after restarting it.

After standstill times no longer than 3 days:

Clean dispensing taps, housing and drip tray with antibacterial cloths and disinfectant spray. Flush water dispenser with: Ambient water (2L), Still water (2L), Hot water (2L) and Sparkling water (8L).
