Assemble the machine as outlined in the “Initial Machine Assembly” section 
 
Use only a grounded electrical outlet when connecting the Zip21A to a power source. If you are 
unsure, check with a qualified electrician – see “Important information before you start” below. 
 
Observe all warnings and instructions marked on the Zip21A. 
 
Unplug the Zip21A from wall outlets before cleaning or maintenance. 
 
Do not install or operate the Zip21A near water or whilst you are wet.

Important Information before you start 

 
 
The Zip21A is a microprocessor-controlled machine. As such, the Zip21A must be connected to 
a dedicated, clean power supply. The Zip21A may be unable to perform correctly and 
consistently if it is connected to a power supply with other equipment. 
 
A power surge protector should be used with the Zip21A to protect the electronics. Electronics 
that are damaged due to power surges are not covered under the standard warranty. 
 
The Zip21A is sold in Europe as a 230V machine with the correct power cord provided.  
 
The user is also solely responsible to assure that the Zip21A is not connected to the wrong 
voltage. Damage caused by incorrect voltage hook-up is not covered under the standard 
warranty.  
 
We recommend that the Zip21A box and packing materials be kept. While service parts are 
available from your dealer and can typically be easily replaced in the field, it may be necessary 
to return the Zip21A to the factory for complex service. The Zip21A box and packing material 
have been designed to protect the machine from normal handling during transportation.
