a suitably qualified trades person. The power cable and power outlet must be
in a safe visible position for connection.
Venting
Sometimes steam and / or boiling water may discharge through a vent outlet
at the mouth of the tap. Ensure the tap body is located so the tap outlet safely
drains into the sink bowl area.
Zip Hydrotap undersink assembly.
The appliance must be placed in a
horizontal position, as shown above.
NOTE: On startup, the controls take the system through a calibration process
which causes the unit to over-boil for a period of 90 secs. Once this mode is
completed the system reverts back to normal operation.
Lifting
Take care when lifting the Zip HydroTap undersink unit. Some units may
exceed safe lifting limits. If you feel this is beyond your personal capabilities,
please seek assistance with the lift. The weights of the units are marked on the
packaging and are given in the table on P6. Do not lift the unit by the doors. Do
not lift the unit by the doors.
Airflow
The ambient temperatures this unit should operate within are 5ºC - 35ºC.
Proper air circulation must be provided. The system will operate satisfactorily
only if the recommended air gaps are provided, these are 65mm min rear
clearance and 50mm side clearance. An air vent is provided with each unit for
high usage applications, this must be installed in the top half of the cupboard
door as a matter of course. An optional fan kit is available and should be used
to ensure adequate ventilation. Make sure that the ventilation grills 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.
Altitude
The Zip HydroTap is equipped with a self-calibrating program which caters for
altitude adjustment.

Filter Control (for filtered models)
The Zip 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 changes is needed, follow the instructions on page 17 or contact
your Zip 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.
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 and must not be cleaned by a water
jet.
Warning:
Zip HydroTaps are designed to operate within 1ºC to 2ºC of set point for boiling
water and at 5ºC to 10ºC for chilled drinking water. All boiling water units are
self calibrating to 98ºC, which is the recommended setting. Adjustments to
the 98ºC setting are not recommended however, under certain circumstances
adjustments may be made between 68º - 100ºC . The 100ºC setting is not
recommended as units may discharge or boil over, more frequently.
Adjustments to the set points can only be made within the Service Menu. For
details see step F on page 12.
Caution must be observed when changing any settings within the
Service Menu as any changes may affect the normal operation of the unit.
Note:
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.
Always ensure the silicone 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.

Installation procedure continued
Step B - Installing the undersink unit
SPECIAL NOTE: The HydroTap undersink units are heavy, take note of the
weights listed in the table on page 6. If you think you cannot lift the unit
safely, get help and avoid possible injury.
Before positioning the heater connect the braided water inlet hose (supplied) to
the cold water inlet on the unit. This is located at the rear of the unit.
Position the Zip HydroTap undersink unit as close as possible to directly
beneath the Zip HydroTap tap head.
The connection tubes supplied with the tap head assembly CANNOT be
lengthened.
Leave at least a 50 mm air-gap without obstruction on each side of the unit
and 65mm at the rear
Adjust both cupboard door hinges and attach the supplied rubber door buffers
to the doors to create a 4 mm air-gap between the doors and the cupboard.
This is the minimum ventilation requirement for low usage installations.
Note: Ventilation Buffers
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.
Vent line
The following instruction is critical:
Proper air circulation must be provided for all Boiling and Chilled models.
The system will operate correctly only if the recommended air gaps are
achieved during installation. Alternatively a ventilation hole measuring 100mm
must be cut into the top half of the cupboard door to accommodate the air
vent provided. Make sure that the undersink unit ventilation grills are not
obstructed in any way.
Cupboard ventilation for Boiling only and Boiling Ambient models is
recommended.
Step C - Connecting the tap
Chilled line Hot line
Measure and trim the blue tube and connect it to the chilled water outlet
located on the top front, right hand side of the undersink unit. Use spring
clamps provided.
Measure and trim the red marked tube and connect it to the hot water outlet
located on the top centre, right hand side of the undersink unit. Use spring
clamps provided.
Measure and trim the unmarked tube and connect it to the vent outlet located
on the top centre, left hand side the top of the undersink unit. Use spring
clamps provided. NOTE: All tubes must have a continuous fall back to the
undersink unit.
Connect the tap USB connector to the USB port on the undersink unit. Orient
the USB plug carefully and connect, do not force the plug. Once connected, fix
the cable to the wall, ensure it is away from any possible water splashes and
is off the floor.
Note: When trimming any silicon tubes trim to minimum length, do not loop
any excess or allow kinking of the tubes. When connecting, slide the tube over
the pipe at least 25mm. There are black plastic clamps provided on the boiling
and chilled hoses to choke the flow if required. Only choke the flow if it is
excessively strong.
NOTE: All tubes must have a continuous fall back to the undersink unit.

and diagrams are supplied in the kit ref:81496).
8. Ensure the positioning of the snap-on spigot is on the “sink” side of
the trap and not the “waste” side. Once positioned, a hole (13mm ID)
will need to be drilled to provide waste access to the drain line. The
snap-on unit will require suitable sealant to keep it water tight against
the waste pipe. Finish by fitting the worm drive clamps tightly on either
side of the spigot and fitting worm drive clamps to either end of the
drain hose. The drain hose from the Font must have constant fall
9. Connect the Tap head Assembly supply hoses and vent as per the
instructions contained in the installation procedure section of this
