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.
Intended Use
This appliance is intended to be used in: 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.
Refrigerant
WARNING! KEEP VENTILATION OPENINGS IN THE APPLIANCE
ENCLOSURE OR IN THE BUILT-IN STRUCTURE CLEAR OF
OBSTRUCTION.
The Zip HydroTap Command Centre range uses either FLAMMABLE R290
(UK & EU markets), or R134a (all other markets) 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.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Compliance
In Australia electrical installation must comply with AS/NZS3000.
In Australia plumbing installation must comply with AS/NZS3500.
In Australia for residential chilled models, all refrigeration must comply with
AS/NZS 60335.2.24.
In the UK the system must be installed in accordance with water supply byelaws,

05807042 v1.02 08.22 HydroTap G5 UltraCare Install Instructions
SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 ambient operating temperatures, when installed in a cabinet, must be
between 5 - 35ºC. The system will operate satisfactorily only with proper
air ventilation. Air gaps of 50mm on each side, and 200mm above must be
provided.
See section 7 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 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.

Tips for hose connection
• Push the silicone hose over the
connector for a minimum of 15mm.
• Ensure there 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.
