Important Safety Instructions
What is the Zip HydroTap?
The Zip HydroTaps are electronically controlled, filtered, Boiling, Chilled and Sparkling water, drinking systems for
kitchens and tea rooms. The HydroTap units are under bench drinking water appliances with a dispensing tap mounted
on a sink or bench, which may be used for residential or commercial applications. These units utilise a conventional
refrigerant compressor to chill the water; an immersion heating element to boil the water; and a CO
2
gas cylinder to
carbonate the chilled water. Depending on the model, these units will dispense boiling water (factory set to 98°C) and/
or chilled water (factory set to 3-5°C) These units are NOT designed to be used for sanitary fixtures.
The boiling water units are fitted with a tap mounted, child safety lock. In addition, there are various energy saving
options accessible via the main menu. Each boiling unit is equipped with a self-calibrating program which caters for
altitude adjustment. The 2.64kg CO
2
bottle is refillable and should be returned to your nearest HydroTap agency for
exchange, whereas the water filter is a disposable item. Both will require periodic replacement and are covered by a
limited OEM warranty.
It is important that the Installation be done safely, correctly and completely, in order to utilise all the benefits the
HydroTap can provide. The Classic and All-In-One taps may be ordered with the Tap Head Assembly for Disabled use.
The disabled levers are supplied with Braille caps for the visually impaired.
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 the 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 section 1 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 70mm 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 start-up 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.
