Water-cooled Quadra models require a drainage point such as a dishwasher nipple. Use the nipple adaptor fitting supplied or the clamp-on drain adaptor (both supplied with system). Clamp-on drain adaptor must be installed above the  water seal on the sink side of the water trap.

Ventilation
Required for Air-cooled Models only Air-cooled Quadra models require cupboard ventilation, adequate air space and an unobstructed clearance of at least 25mm on each side of the underteach unit. Door ventilation is to be provided in the bottom and top of the cupboard door (Diagram 3). Suitable vent grills are available from Billi Australia Pty Ltd (Part no: 985050). For high usage installations, an optional low voltage door fan kit is available and should be fitted if  cupboard internal temperatures exceed 35°C (Billi Part no: 990713).

Installing the dispenser.

XL, XT, XR.

IMPORTANT: This Billi appliance is to be installed by a licensed trades person in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/NZ 3500.2 and in compliance with applicable state regulatory requirements. For correct operation of this appliance, it is essential to observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Install Dispenser Assembly
   Determine position of dispenser mounting hole in sink top or benchtop. Dispenser base template (Diagram 4) may be cut out and used to assist in correct positioning. Refer to Diagram 2 for clearances allowed. Hole size required is ø32mm.
   —Stainless Steel Sink top
   A suitable 32mm hole punch (Part no:

857901. is available as an accessory from Billi Australia Pty Ltd. If possible, cut hole with die mounted below the sink top surface so that burr is pulled downwards. Alternatively, remove burr and radius edge of hole with fine file.  This allows barbed dispenser mount to slide smoothly into mounting hole.
        —Timber/Laminate Benchtop
        Maximum benchtop thickness is 50mm.
        Cut 32mm hole in appropriate position*.
        When drilling through a particle board bench top, take care to avoid a large chip breaking away as drill breaks through underside surface. We recommend drilling a small pilot hole through benchtop, partially drilling the 32mm hole from underneath and then completing drilling the hole from above. The large 30mm washer supplied may be used to secure barb where underside particle board bench top has chipped away.

• For granite or marble bench tops we  recommend you use a certified stone mason to pre-drill the hole. 2. Activate Dispenser Swivel Feature
  To activate the swivel feature of your dispenser, you will need to remove the locking piece from the dispenser base. Simply push out the piece as show in Diagram 5. This will allow the tap to move 45 degrees to the left and right.

  3. Fit Dispenser Base
     a. Cut a 32mm hole in sink top or benchtop. Remove burr if protruding upwards.
     b. Push barbed mounting shaft through mount hole.
     c. Insert barb locking bush as shown in Diagram 6. Finger tighten nut.
     d. Ensure barb is centred in mount hole before tightening. Check position of base ring and gasket.
     e. Moderately tighten locking nut using multigraphs or spanner. Take care to avoid overtightening nut which may break the plastic threaded shaft.
     f. Place large D washer over thread as shown in Diagram 7.

  4. Fit Dispenser Head Assembly
     a. Feed dispenser tubing and loom through centre hole in the following order:
     i. Dispenser power cord.
     ii. Silicone tubes
     b. Gently pull hoses from under the bench top, do not attempt to force tubing through with a pointed object as silicone tube is easily punctured. Check tubing is not kinked or twisted.
     c. Turn dispenser head assembly to approximately 60° from the straight ahead position of dispenser base. Slide head assembly onto base assembly whilst gently pulling tubing downwards from underneath to prevent tubing bunching and kinking. Mounting lugs will pass nut and slide down the 3 grooves on the swivel bearing.
     d. Once fully down, turn dispenser to straight ahead position. Fit chrome plated M4 retaining screw to lower rear threaded hole and tighten using the allen key supplied. If swivel feature is activated, check dispenser now swivels smoothly 45° in each direction.|

Commissioning

XL, XT, XR.

Turn on Water Supply
Turn on the water supply tap and check there are no leaks. Remove font panel of unit and remove foam packing from under the filter canister. Ensure filter canister is securely locked back into place. Replace font panel.
Turn On Electricity
Turn on power switch. Check normal time display is showing. Status line should display ‘INITIAL FILL’. Boiling and chilled water tanks are now filling. Dispenser icons flash orange slowly.
Cold Water
During the initial fill, cold water valve automatically opens to fill the cold tank. After approximately 1 minute, cold water will begin to flow from the dispenser outlet. Water will continue to run for a further minute to flush and condition the filters.
Hot Water (Auto Boiling Calibration)
Auto Boiling Point Calibration: The hot tank will first fill to the height of the low level sensor. The water is then heated until it reaches boiling point. The unit will continue to boil for up to 30 seconds while the temperature sensor calibrates.
WARNING: Steam and small amount of hot water may be discharged from the taps and vent during this period. While calibration is underway the hot water indicator will flash yellow. The hot water set point is calibrated 1.5°C below the  boiling point. Once calibrated, the unit will resume normal operation and the calibration data will be saved. The unit will not re-calibrate under normal circumstances.
Setting the Programs
The Quadra operational settings have been factory set for a typical installation. Clock is set to Eastern Standard Time (EST). Refer to Quadra User Guide for setting instructions. In some installations, boiling water delivery settings may  need to be changed as outlined below.
Tube length setting
The Quadra’s boiling water flow rate slows briefly as water first enters the cup to prevent splashing. Correct timing of the moment of reduced flow is dependent on the length of the tube between the Quadra module and the dispenser. The  standard timing is set for a tube length of 500mm but this setting can be simply altered to suit the installation. After installation, measure the length of the red tube from the underside of the dispenser to the boiling water outlet fitting.
If the measured length is less than 450mm or greater than 550mm, the correct value should be set in as follows:

1. Press SELECT. Display changes to menu selection mode.
2. Press times. Shaded cursor shows ‘INITIAL SETUP’.
3. Press SELECT. Display shows:
4. Press SELECT. ‘0500 mm’ flashes.
5. Press or buttons to enter the correct tube length.
6. Press SELECT.
7. Press BACK twice to return to normal display.

Boiling water flow rate
The boiling water flow rate can be adjusted to suit the installation or user preference.
Extended tube lengths will require the pump speed to be increased.

1. To adjust, use the selection procedure as described above in Steps 1, 2 and 3.
2. Press SELECT. Shaded cursor shows ‘Pump Speed 015’.
3. Press SELECT. ‘015’ flashes.
4. Press or buttons to increase or decrease. Range is between 1 and 20.
5. Press SELECT.
6. Press BACK twice to return to normal display.

Calibrating boiling water temperature (Manually)
The boiling water temperature has been factory calibrated. Because water boils at a slightly lower temperature at elevated altitudes, the factory-set temperature may be too high for units installed at certain inland locations. If the local  altitude is greater than 500 meters above sea level, a calibration cycle should be performed.
The procedure is as follows;

1. Use the selection procedure as described above, in Steps 1, 2 and 3.
2. Press SELECT twice to select ‘Calibrate Boiling Water’.
3. Press SELECT twice to begin cycle.
4. The unit will fill and heat (if not yet up to operating temperature before cycle begins).

CAUTION: Steam will discharge from the vent outlet located between the hot and cold water outlets. Once correct boiling temperature is established, the Quadra recalibrates its internal settings and the display panel returns to normal.
