Zip HydroTap Installation and Operating Instructions - 82872 - July 2003
Read These Warnings First
Safety
Do not allow young children, handicapped or infirm persons, to use the Zip
HydroTap without supervision
Refrigerant
The Zip HydroTap Chilling unit contains 134A refrigerant under pressure. No
part of the unit should be exposed to a naked flame. Maintenance of
refrigeration unit must be carried out by an accredited service provider or
qualified refrigeration mechanic.
Qualifications
If any power cord or plug 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.
Venting
Sometimes steam and/or boiling water may discharge through the vent at
the rear of the tap shank. If the tap is not installed on a sink, the pipe to
this outlet must be disconnected and plumbed away to a safe location
according to local plumbing bylaws and regulations.
Lifting
Take care when lifting the Zip HydroTap undersink unit. Some units may
exceed safe lifting limits. Do not lift without assistance. The weights of the
units are given in the table under Installation Requirements (page 5).
Airflow
Proper air circulation must be provided. The system will operate
satisfactorily only if the recommended air gaps are provided. If this is not
possible, ventilation slots must be cut into the top AND bottom of the
cupboard door. Make sure that the ventilation grilles of the undersink unit
are not obstructed.
Altitude
At altitudes over 500 metres above sea level, the thermostat temperature
may require adjustment. Contact your Zip Service Provider.
Filter
For models ABC, ABA and ABB only:
The Zip HydroTap filter timer is preset to nine months to provide trouble-
free flow and operation in most installations. Local water quality conditions
may require an alteration to this time. In areas where the water has a high
concentration of sediment, the preset time may be shortened to avoid poor
flow, taste or odour situations. In areas where the water quality is above
average, lengthening the preset time may be desirable, but not essential.
If any of these changes are needed, contact your Zip Service Provider.
