Important Safety Instructions
This manual contains important safety and installation instructions for the Zip HydroTap G4.
Safety
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 shall not be
made by children without supervision.
Refrigerant
The Zip HydroTap unit contains R134A refrigerant under pressure. Maintenance of the refrigeration unit must
be carried out by an accredited service provider or qualified refrigeration technician.
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 and / or condensed droplets 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
the technical specification for the weight of your product.
Airflow
The ambient operating temperatures, when installed in a cupboard, must be between 5ºC - 35ºC. The
system will operate satisfactorily only if proper air ventilation is provided and only if the recommended air
gaps of 50mm on each side are provided. See section 2 for correct Installation details.
Altitude
Water boils at varying temperatures at different altitudes. Your HydroTap adjusts 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.
