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.
Ventilation
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.
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.
!
!
Compliance
All Plumbing and Electrical connections must comply with local, state
and federal codes.
All Plumbing and Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local
regulations.
Ensure the electrical power supply at the installation site is suitable for your
HydroTap.
HydroTap models are rated for the following installations:
• Commercial - 220-240VAC 50/60Hz.
• Residential (120V) - 110-120VAC 50/60Hz.
Refer to updated online guide for all variants.

SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Lifting
Take care when lifting. The Command Center 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 Center is marked on the
packaging. Do not lift the Command Center by the front cover or any of its
connections.
Airflow
The ambient operating temperatures, when installed in a cabinet, must be
between 41 - 95ºF, (5 - 35ºC) . The system will operate satisfactorily only
with proper air ventilation. Air gaps of 2”, (50mm) on each side, and 8”,
(200mm) above must be provided. See section 6 for correct ventilation
details.
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 41ºF, (5ºC) when the system is not in use, do not turn off the
Command Center 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.

37 - 100 psi , (250 - 700 kPa) connected via an isolation valve.
• Water inlet connection size is 1/2” BSP. The system shall only be supplied
with cold water.
• Potable water should have a minimum TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of 50
ppm. In areas where the TDS exceeds 150 ppm and where mineral scale
could be a problem, consideration should be given to the maintenance
required. Adding a water softener or reverse osmosis system should be
considered.
Electricity supply requirements
110-120VAC 60Hz or 230VAC 60Hz (for power requirement see table above).
Region Power outlets required

A pressure limiting valve must be fitted for mains water pressures
above the maximum limits stated above in accordance with local
plumbing regulations.
Note: All models have an internal pressure limiting device to reduce the
maximum mains regulated pressure protecting the system against pressure
surges above 73 psi, (500kPa).

Tips for hose connection
• Push the silicone hose over the
connector for a minimum of 0.6”,
(15mm).
• Ensure there is a constant fall from
the tap down to the command
Center.
• 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.
