SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Venting
Sometimes steam and / or boiling water droplets may discharge through a
vent outlet on the tap. If not using the font, ensure the tap body is located
so the tap outlet safely dispenses into the sink bowl.
Lifting
Take care when lifting. The Command Centre may exceed safe lifting
limits. If you feel this is beyond your personal capabilities, please seek
assistance with the lift. The weight of the Command Centre is marked on
the packaging. Do not lift the Command Centre by the front cover or any of
its connections.
Airflow
The Zenith HydroTap operates within the ambient temperature range 5ºC
- 35ºC. Proper air circulation must be provided. The system will operate
satisfactorily only if the recommended air gaps are provided. The vent kit
supplied must be fitted.
Altitude
Water boils at varying temperatures at different altitudes. The HydroTap
adjusts for this during startup calibration and will recalibrate itself on a
regular basis.
Frost protection
If the HydroTap is located where the ambient air temperature could fall
below 5ºC when the system is not in use, do not turn off the Command
Centre electrically. This safeguard does not offer the same protection to
the connecting pipework and fittings.
Application
The HydroTap G5 Home series is intended to be used in household and
similar applications such as:
• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
• Bed and breakfast type environments;
• Catering and similar non-retail applications.

Tips for hose connection
• Push the silicone hose over the
connector for a minimum of 15mm.
• Ensure there is a constant fall from
the tap down to the command
centre.
• Hoses must be trimmed to avoid
loops and kinks. Take care when
positioning before cutting and make
a clean cut straight across the hose,
using a sharp blade.
• The hoses must not be under tension
when installed.
