This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
For products sold in Europe, this appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance

Qualifications
If the power cable is damaged it must be repaired only by a qualified technician. To avoid hazards, all
installation procedures must be carried out by a suitably qualified tradesperson. The power cable and power
outlet must be in a safe visible position for connection.
Venting
Sometimes steam may discharge through a vent outlet at the tap. If the tap is not installed using the Font
pedestal, ensure the tap body is located so the tap outlet safely dispenses into the sink bowl area.
Lifting
Take care when lifting the Zip HydroTap unit. Some units may exceed safe lifting limits. If you feel this is
beyond your personal capabilities, please seek assistance with the lift. The weights of the units are marked
on the packaging. Do not lift the unit by the front cover or any connections at the top rear of the unit. Refer to
section 1.2 technical specification for the weight of your product.
Airflow
The ambient temperatures this unit should operate within are 5ºC - 35ºC. Proper air circulation must be
provided. The system will operate satisfactorily only if the recommended air gaps of 50mm on each side
are provided. If a vent kit is supplied it must be fitted. See technical specifications for correct installation to
prevent overheating.
Altitude
Water boils at varying temperatures at different altitudes. Your HydroTap adjust for this during startup
calibration and will recalibrate itself on a regular basis.
Frost Protection
If this appliance is located where the ambient air temperature could fall below 5ºC when the heater is not
in use, do not turn off the appliance electrically. This safeguard does not offer the same protection to the
connecting pipework and fittings.
Positioning
It is important to ensure the undersink unit is positioned in an accessible area close to the floor level. The unit
must have it’s base mounted in a horizontal position with all inlets and outlets facing up. The Tap must be
located above the undersink unit. See page 12 for details.
