ventilation. Auxiliary fan should always be fitted when supplied with large units. Make
sure that the ventilation grilles of the undersink unit are not obstructed.
Included in
the installation pack are adhesive backed silicon buffers. If air vents are not installed
in the cupboards housing the HydroTap, the buffers must be placed on the inside
edge of the cupboard door to create a slight gap ensuring a minimum airflow. Failure
to do this may cause the HydroTap to overheat and operate inefficiently.
Minimum Pressure warning:
All AV models require a minimum cold water supply pressure of 2bar (200 kPa) and a
maximum of 7bar (700 kPa).
All A models requre a minimum cold and hot water supply pressure of 0.7 bar
(70kpa) and a maximum working pressure of 7 bar (700 kPa).
Filter Control
The HydroTap filter control is preset to 6000 Litres to provide trouble-free flow
and operation in most installations. Local water quality conditions may require an
alteration to this capacity. In areas where the water has a high concentration of
sediment, the preset litre capacity may be shortened to avoid poor flow, taste or
odour situations. In areas where the water quality is above average, lengthening
the preset capacity may be desirable, but not essential. If any of these changesis
needed, follow the instructions on page 16/17 or contact your Service Provider.
Frost Protection
If this appliance 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.
Altitude
The HydroTap is equipped with a self-calibrating program which caters for altitude
adjustment.
Installation Environment Considerations
This unit is intended for indoor use only and should never be installed outdoors or
exposed to the elements of nature. This unit must not be positioned in an area that
may be cleaned by a water jet. This unit must not be cleaned by a water jet.
NOTE:
HydroTaps are designed to operate within 1ºC to 2ºC of boiling point and at 5ºC to
10ºC for chilled drinking water.
Before installing ensure that the following have been provided at the installation site:
• Sufficient space in the cupboard to install the undersink unit in accordance with
these Installation Instructions. A table of dimensions is given on page 6.
NOTE: Add 65mm to the Depth of the undersink unit to allow for Water and
Electrical connections and ventilation.
• A water supply connection with isolating valve inside the cupboard within reach of
the 750 mm flexible connection and positioned so that the connection point and
the isolating valve will not be obstructed when the undersink unit is installed.
• Power supply of 220-240 Volt AC, for connection to the unit via a 13 amp fused
spur.
• This switch must provide all-pole disconnection with a contact separation of at
least 3mm, installed in accordance with wiring regulations.
Note:
Always ensure the tubes are
shortened so that any excess is
removed and their route is the
most direct line between the tap
assembly and the HydroTap unit.
Do not allow the tubes to sag or
droop so water is trapped within
the hoses. Always maintain a
constant fall
Positioning of the tap assembly
must be within the following
parameters:
The height between the base of
the Hydrotap unit and the base
of the Tap assembly cannot be
greater than 900mm.
