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 the
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. The power cord and general power outlet
must be in a safe visible position for connection.
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 the heading “Installation Requirements”. Do
not lift the unit by the doors.
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 are provided, these are 50mm min rear
clearance and 65mm side clearance. An air vent is provided with each unit for
high usage applications, this must be installed in the top half of the cupboard
door as a matter of course. An auxillary fan kit is available and should be used
to ensure adequate ventilation. Make sure that the ventilation grilles of the
undersink unit are not obstructed.
I
ncluded in the installation pack are adhesive
backed silicon buffers. If air vents are not installed in the cupboards housing
the HydroTap, the buffers must be placed on the inside edge of the cupboard
door to create a slight gap ensuring a minimum airflow. Failure to do this may
cause the HydroTap to overheat and operate inefficiently.
Filter Control :
The Zip HydroTap filter control is preset to 6000 Litres to provide trouble-free
flow and operation in most installations. Local water quality conditions may
require an alteration to this capacity. In areas where the water has a high
concentration of sediment, the preset litre capacity may be shortened to avoid
poor flow, taste or odour situations. In areas where the water quality is above
average, lengthening the preset capacity may be desirable, but not essential. If
any of these changes is needed, follow the instructions on page 11 or contact
your Zip Service Provider.
Zip Hydrotap undersink assembly.
The appliance must be placed in a
horizontal position, as shown above.
The power point must be located within reach
of its cable. The appliance must be positioned
so that the plug is accessable.
Note:
Always ensure the hoses are
shortened so that any excess is
removed and their route is the
most direct line between the tap
assembly and the HydroTap unit.
Do not allow the hoses to sag or
droop so water is trapped within
the hoses.
Always maintain a constant fall
back to the unit.
Positioning of the tap assembly
must be within the following
parameters:
The height between the base of
the Hydrotap unit and the base
of the Tap assembly cannot be
greater than 900mm.
