SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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, current IEE regulations and local authority byelaws.

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.

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.
