Air Inlet Filter

The HydroTap®G4 air filter is conveniently located on the outside of the
condenser. The filter screen is a sliding fit in the plastic housing on the left
hands side of the Command-CentreTM. The screen may be removed for
cleaning by sliding it forward. This needs to be inspected at least quarterly,
cleaned and replaced if damaged.

Note For best performance the unit should only be operated with a clean

air filter screen, correctly fitted in place. Maintain at least a 50mm air gap
in front of the screen at all times. Take care not to allow cloths or other soft
materials to accidentally block the air inlet.

Warning: If the HydroTap®G4
is switched off for a long period
of time (e.g. more than a
weekend), run water through
the chilled water outlet for
at least five minutes before
consumption.

• Caution

•

Do not tilt the cartridge as water may spill from it if tilted.

•
