Thank you for purchasing a Zip HydroTap G4. Please read and follow these instructions carefully to ensure
safe and trouble free operation. If help and advice is required, please call 0345 6 005 005.
What is the Zip HydroTap G4 ?
This Zip HydroTap G4
is an electronically controlled, filtered, boiling, chilled and sparkling (functionality is
dependant upon model purchased) drinking water system for the kitchen. The HydroTap G4 systems are
under counter drinking water appliances with a dispensing tap mounted on a sink or worktop, which have
been designed for commercial or residential applications. The HydroTap G4 utilises a conventional refrigerant
compressor to chill the water and an immersion heating element to boil the water.
These units are NOT designed to be used solely as sanitary fixtures.
The Zip HydroTap G4
models which dispense boiling water are fitted with a tap mounted safety lock. In
addition, there are various energy saving options accessible via the main menu. The system is equipped with
a self-calibrating program which caters for altitude adjustment. The water filter is a disposable item which will
require periodic replacement and is covered by a limited OEM warranty.
It is important that the installation be undertaken safely, correctly and completely in order to utilise all the
benefits that the HydroTap G4
can provide. HydroTap G4
Classic taps can be ordered with the tap head
assembly for disabled use. The disabled levers are supplied with Braille caps for the visually impaired.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and installation instructions for the Zip HydroTap G4.
Please read all warnings, installation requirements and installation instructions before installing
any Zip HydroTap G4. This system must be installed in accordance with water supply byelaws,
current IEE regulations and relevant 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 G4 Command Centre contains R134A refrigerant under pressure. Maintenance of the
refrigeration unit must be carried out by an accredited service provider or qualified refrigeration technician.
CO
2
You can have serious health problems if breathing air containing concentrations of CO2 up to 15000ppm
(1.5%) for more than 10 minutes. Proper ventilation must be provided to ensure that, in case of escape,
concentrations of CO2 remain below this level.
Qualifications
If the power cable is damaged it must be repaired only by a qualified technician. 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 the tap
is not installed using the font, ensure the tap body is located so the tap outlet safely dispenses into the sink
bowl area.
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. Refer to the
technical specification, see page 11, for the weight of the product.
Airflow
The Zip HydroTap G4 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. See
Section 1 'Ventilation', page 13, for correct installation to prevent overheating. The vent kit supplied must be
fitted.
Altitude
Water boils at varying temperatures at different altitudes. The HydroTap G4 adjusts for this during startup
calibration and will recalibrate itself on a regular basis.
Frost protection
If the HydroTap G4 is located where the ambient air temperature could fall below 5ºC when the heater is
not in use, do not turn off the appliance electrically. This safeguard does not offer the same protection to the
connecting pipework and fittings.o
