SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by children under 8 years or persons
(including children under 8 years) 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.
Refrigerant
The Zip HydroTap Command Centre range uses either HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE R290, R600a or R134A refrigerant under pressure.
Check the rating plate or contact Zip before commencing
work.
Maintenance of the refrigeration unit must be carried out by an
accredited service provider or qualified refrigeration technician.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable
propellant in this appliance.
CO2
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Use according to MSDS (material safety data sheet).
• Pressurised container. Contains gas under pressure,may
explode if heated.
• Protect from sunlight.
• Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50˚C.
• Do not expose to naked flame or any incandescent material.
• Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Avoid shock.
• High concentration of gas may cause asphyxiation.
• Use only in an upright position.
• The cylinder must be used with the supplied pressure regulator.
• The gas cylinder must be installed in an open plan area, or in an enclosed
room with a volume no less than 20m³ per 1200g cylinder, or 50m³ per

Quick Start Installation Guide
807119 v1.08 05.23 G5 BCS Quick Start Guide

SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2640g cylinder.
• If more than 1 gas cylinder containing CO is present within the same
location, the recommended ventilated area should be in proportion to
the number of gas cylinders stored in that location. A ventilated area is a
non-enclosed area which could include the kitchen, living room etc.
• Refer to the gas cylinder and MSDS for a complete list of warnings
(www.zipwater.com, www.zipwater.co.uk).
Qualifications
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 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 Zip 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.

and commission the HydroTap until ready for first use.
• For water taste and quality reasons, following any non-use period of
more than 72 hours, Zip recommends to perform a system flush. Failure
to flush the system may affect water quality.
• For UK, this appliance incorporates adequate backflow prevention
in accordance to S.I.1999 No.1148 The Water Supply (Water fittings)
Regulations 1999 Schedule 2 requirement. No further backflow

• Use a 6mm Allen key or a
large flat-blade screwdriver
to adjust the valve.
• Rotate the adjustment screw
anti-clockwise to increase,
and clockwise to decrease
the flow.
• To measure the set flow rate, use a measuring jug or cup and run the
sparkling water for 15 seconds. The HydroTap has a default 15 second
dispense time, which will help in your flow rate setup.
• Multiply the amount of water dispensed in 15 seconds by 4 to determine
the flow rate in litres per minute.
• The optimum flow rate is 1.6 litres per minute (400ml per 15 seconds).
• If the flow rate is adjusted too high, the carbonation tank will be emptied
of water, leaving only CO2to be dispensed from the tap. This will result in
inconsistent flow (spluttering).
