# Installation Instructions
Installing the Chiller
Sit the chiller unit into the cupboard as close to the proposed outlet tap position
as is possible, to minimise the length of tubing exposed between the chiller unit
and the tap.
Allow at least 50 mm around the chiller unit to permit free airflow. Both the top
and the front of the chiller must remain accessible for servicing purposes.
Installing the Tap
Position and install the tap at the back of the sink or on the Font, where there is
a minimum 52 mm wide flat area within the draining area of the sink.
NOTE: The diameter of the base of the tap is 50mm.
Make sure the selected position allows the tap spout to overhang the sink bowl.

Use a 35 mm sheet metal punch to create a neat hole without burrs.
Remove the large nut with the brass and rubber washers from the base of the
tap, leaving the rubber-sealing ring (o-ring) in place.
Fit the tap and seal to the sink, oriented so both the operating levers are easily
accessible.
Slide first, the rubber washer and then the brass washer, followed by the nut,
over the plastic tubes from under the sink, and tighten the nut to secure the tap
firmly into place.

Connecting:
NOTE: You must separately supply and install an isolating valve in the supply
line before the connection to the product.
Minimum supply pressure must be 70kPa (0.7 bar). For best results we
recommend a minimum static pressure of 200 kPa (2 bar). If the pressure
exceeds 700 kPa (7 bar), you must also supply and install a 350 kPa (3.5 bar)
pressure-limiting valve.
With 1/4” white tubing, Connect the JG Nut + Straight Connector Assembly to
the inlet of the filter. From the outlet of the filter, connect the 1/4” white tubing
from the tap, via the Tee piece supplied. The branch line from this Tee piece
must connect to the JG fitting marked INLET on the top right rear of the chiller.
Cut excess off to ensure a neat job. Make sure all connections to John Guest
fittings are pushed in past the “O”ring to full depth, at least 15-16mm.
Chiller connection:
Similarly, use the Blue tube, to connect to the JG fitting marked OUTLET on
the top left rear of the chiller unit. Insulate the 1/4” BLUE tube with the loose
length of the pipe insulation, cut both pieces to correct length.
Locate the 1/4” Clear (vent) tube from the tap and connect this to the John
Guest connector. Ensure JG Plug is also fitted to connector. Make sure all
connections to John Guest fittings are pushed in past the “O”ring to full depth,
at least 15-16mm.
The Tap connection is now complete.
Take care, when bending rigid plastic tubing, to prevent it from kinking or
crushing around a bend. As it is plastic tubing containing water under mains
pressure, be careful not to nick, scratch or damage it during installation.
Cut the tube squarely with a sharp knife or tube cutter. Shake out and remove
any swarf and debris.
Ensure there is adequate ventilation available through the cupboard. If there
is inadequate ventilation, and the cupboard temperature rises to above 40°C,
the chiller may become damaged and malfunction which will void the product
warranty.
There must be a minimum 168cm2 of cupboard cross-flow ventilation.
Suitable holes or vents will need to be cut into the cupboard and door.
For safe operation, thoroughly flush the water through after non-use periods
longer than 12 hours.

Filter cartridges should be replaced at least every 6-12 months, or sooner if
you notice:
A. A persistent reduction in water pressure from the product, or;
B. An unpleasant taste or odour in the water.
Not changing the cartridges when required may cause the water to become
biologically unsafe.
Commissioning
Clip the tubing in the cupboard. After the appliance is installed and
connected, turn “ON” the water supply. Check all connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
The filter, chiller and tubing will be full of air until purged. Rotate the
operating lever on the appliance outlet tap for a minimum of five minutes until
all of the air has been purged from the system.

# Operating Procedures
Operation:
ROTATE
The lever on the right is used for Chilled filtered water and the other, on the left,
is used for Ambient filtered water.
Chilled water is obtained by rotating the lever on the right, to a horizontal
position. The water is chilled by a refrigeration unit fitted within the cabinet,
under the sink.
With the tap, you can obtain chilled water within the rated capacity, for as long
as you leave the lever in the open (horizontal) position. When finished, return
the lever to the OFF (upright) position.
Ambient water is obtained in the same way as the chilled water, by rotating the
lever on the left hand side of the tap .
Cleaning
Never use strong, corrosive or abrasive cleaning materials on the Zip Chilltap.
Wipe clean the outer surfaces with a sponge or a soft cloth using a mild soap
and water.
The louvres on the sides of the chiller unit need to be kept free of dust and lint
to permit free flow of air through the vents. They should be checked regularly,
at least monthly, and dusted or vacuumed.
Filter Replacement
The Zip Chilltap Under Counter Chiller has a separate filtration system
connected to the incoming water supply line, and which may be located within
the same cupboard as the chiller unit.
For safe operation, the filter cartridge should be replaced every 6-12 months, or
earlier if you notice a persistent reduction in water pressure from the appliance
or an unpleasant taste or odour in the water.
WARNING
Not changing filtration cartridges when required, may cause the water to
become biologically unsafe. Make an entry in your diary to check the water
quality of the Chilltap at least six months after installation and after every
subsequent filter change.
Use only genuine Zip replacement filter catridge ZT002. Replacement filter
cartridges can be obtained through plumbing suppliers or directly from Zip.
Replacement instructions come with the filter cartridges.
Before attempting to disconnect or remove the filter cartridge from the housing,
isolate (turn off) the water supply prior to the filter system, and then relieve the
system pressure by operating the chilled water outlet tap until the water ceases
to flow.
Service
There are no user serviceable parts but there are dangerous voltages present
within the unit. All service work must only be carried out by a suitably qualified
and experienced service person.
Before calling for service, check that both the water and electricity supplies are
turned ‘ON’ and OK.
For technical assistance and service support contact Zip on 0800 077 8302.
