Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. For products sold in Europe, this appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
Refrigerant (BC model)
The Hydro Tap Micro (BC model) contains R134A refrigerant under pressure. Maintenance of the refrigeration unit must be carried out by an accredited service provider or qualified refrigeration technician.
Qualifications
If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified technician. To avoid hazards, all installation procedures must be carried out by a suitably qualified tradesperson.
Venting
Occasionally steam and / or boiling water may discharge through a vent outlet on the tap. Ensure the tap body is located so the tap outlet safely dispenses into the drip tray or sink bowl area.
Lifting
Take care when lifting. The Micro command centre may exceed safe lifting limits. If you feel this is beyond your personal capabilities, please seek assistance with the lift. Do not lift the Micro command centre by the front cover or any of its connections. Refer to the Technical specification for the weight of the product.
Airflow
The ambient operating temperatures, when installed in a cupboard, must be between 5°C – 35°C. The system will operate satisfactorily only if the recommended air gaps of 50 mm on each side, and 200mm above the command centre are provided. If a vent kit is supplied, it is recommended to be fitted according to these instructions.
Frost Protection
If this appliance is located where the ambient air temperature could fall below 5°C 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.

Before Installation

Before installation, ensure that:

All technical specifications and instructions have been reviewed.
The under bench can support the product weight when full of water (see Technical specification).
There is sufficient space in the cupboard to install the command centre and other components in accordance with these installation instructions.
A user easily-accessible 220-240V AC, 10A power outlet is required.
The appliance must be connected in accordance with current local electrical regulations. See Technical specification for power ratings. Check cable and plumbing against inlet /outlet positions before proceeding.
Potable water supply with working pressure of 150 – 700 kPa (1.5 – 7.0 bar), with isolating valve within reach of the hose and positioned so that the valve will not be obstructed.
A 350 kPa (3.5 bar) pressure limiting valve, which also functions to prevent backflow of water into the water mains (supplied) must be fitted.
The appliance must be placed upright with its base in a horizontal position.

IMPORTANT!
Do not proceed with the installation if these requirements are not met.

Installation instructions

Tap installation
Position the Micro Tap so that water from its spout will fall into a sink/drip tray fitted with a drain. Cut a 35mm hole into the sink or benchtop, using a sheet metal punch or hole saw (not supplied). Zip Micro B Instant Boiling and
Chilled Water 04

Push the hose 20mm over the tube. Fasten with a hose clamp.
From above the bench, pass hoses down through the hole. Push spacer on to the base of the tap. A light smear of silicone sealant under the spacer is recommended for a watertight fit. From below the bench, assemble washer, spider clamp and fastening nut. Check the tap is in the correct position before tightening the nut.

Ventilation
IMPORTANT:
Allow a minimum clearance envelope of 50mm either side, and 200mm above the command centre. Proper air circulation must be provided for the system to operate correctly.

Fit the silicone door buffers to the inside edge of the cupboard door to provide an air space. The top and front of the command centre must remain accessible for servicing.
(Boiling/Chilled models) Install the cupboard floor inlet vent (supplied) in the cupboard where the command centre is located. Refer to the instructions supplied with the vent kit.
If cupboard temperature rises above 35°C

The outlet vent may be installed in the door or wall. If additional ventilation is required, please contact your local service centre for more details.

Connect the USB cable from the tap to the command centre.
The Hydro Tap Micro must be installed with an isolation valve (not supplied) to the mains water supply, for servicing. Use the new hose sets supplied. Do not re-use old hose sets. Flush all water supply lines before connecting, to prevent sediment from affecting operation.
Remove caps from the connectors at the top of the command centre. Connect the silicone hoses from the tap to the command centre. Refer to the installation layout diagram overleaf.

Tips for hose connection
Zip Micro B Instant Boiling and Chilled Water 16

Push the silicone hose over the connector for a minimum of 15mm.
Ensure there a constant fall from the tap down to the command centre.
Hoses must be trimmed to avoid loops and kinks. Take care when positioning before cutting and make a clean cut straight across the hose, using a sharp blade.
The hoses must not be under tension when installed.
Hoses must not be lengthened beyond the maximum supplied 1- metre length.

Before first use:
Check for leaks. Allow 5 minutes for tanks to fill. Flush with fresh water to remove any residue from factory sanitisation.

(All models) Dispense 1.8 litres of boiling water from the tap, equivalent to a complete tankful of water. Repeat 3 times.
(BC model) Dispense 1.8 litres of chilled water from the tap, equivalent to a complete tankful of water. Repeat 3 times.

Operation

To enable/disable energy mode, press the button on the front of the command centre. The green light will illuminate when energy mode is enabled. When energy mode is enabled, after 2 hours of inactivity, the boiling tank set point temperature is reduced to 68°C, to conserve energy. If the tap is operated to dispense boiling water, the boiling set point temperature is restored to 98°C. Allow time for the water to return to the set point temperature.

Maintenance

Water filter
Zip Micro B Instant Boiling and Chilled Water 29 The Micro water filter has a 6 month usage capacity.
