Installation Instructions
Tap Installation
In addition to common tools, the following will be required:
- 25mm (ChillTap Standard/Heavy Duty) OR 35mm (ChillTap Extra) diameter sheet metal hole punch for sink tops (not supplied)
- 25mm (ChillTap Standard/Heavy Duty) OR 35mm (ChillTap Extra) diameter hole saw for timber bench tops (not supplied)
Position the Tap
Warning: Do not reuse old hose-sets. The unit shall be installed with the new hose-sets supplied. Hoses are maximum 1000 mm in length.
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. Make sure the selected position allows the tap spout to overhang the sink bowl. Ensure the distance between the tap and the undersink unit does not exceed the length of the supplied tubing.
ChillTap Standard/Heavy Duty (Fig.1)
- Use a 25mm sheet metal punch or hole saw to create a neat hole without burrs.
- Remove the large nut from the base of the tap, leaving the rubber sealing ring (O-ring) in place.
- Fit the tap and O-ring to the sink top, oriented so the operating lever is easily accessible.
- From under the sink, slide the nut over the tubes. Tighten the nut to secure the tap firmly into place.
ChillTap Extra (Fig.2)
- Use a 35mm sheet metal punch or hole saw to create a neat hole without burrs.
- Remove the large nut with the stainless steel and rubber washers from the base of the tap, leaving the rubber sealing ring (O-ring) in place.
- Fit the tap and O-ring to the sink top, oriented so the operating levers are easily accessible.
- From under the sink, slide first the rubber washer, and then the brass washer, followed by the nut, over the tubes. Tighten the nut to secure the tap firmly into place.
Ventilation
When installing air flow ducts, the following tools will be required:
- Jigsaw and 12 mm drill.
- Keyhole or Wall Board saw.
Ventilation Requirements
_ IMPORTANT: _Allow clearance of 50 mm around and 200 mm above the chiller unit.
- Proper air circulation must be provided for the system to operate correctly. Both the top and the front of the chiller must remain accessible for servicing.
- Fit the 3 mm silicon door buffers to the inside edge of the cupboard door (Fig.3).
- The vent kit supplied with the ChillTap must be installed. The vent kit ensures heat dissipation through forced convection.
- Air is drawn in through the front vent and expelled via the duct and outlet vent installed in the cupboard kickboard.
- Referring to Fig.3 and Fig.4, mark out and cut the vent holes. Fit the grilles and secure with screws.
Note: Inlet and outlet vents should be separated by a minimum of 100 mm, to avoid hot air recirculation.
Additional ventilation
The following instructions are critical if the vent kit, as supplied, cannot be fitted. If the vent kit cannot be used, or for high use applications where the cupboard space temperature is 35°C or higher, an optional Vent Tray Kit or Exhaust Fan kit may be fitted. Contact your local service centre for more information.
- Vent tray part no. 93541 (optional accessory)
- Dual exhaust fan kit, part no. 93156 (optional accessory)
Chiller Installation
- Place the chiller unit into the cupboard with the proposed outlet tap position as close as possible, to minimise the length of tubing exposed between the chiller unit and the outlet tap. Arrange tubes in the most direct route between tap outlet and unit.
- The tubing length is limited to 1000 mm.
Mains Water Connection
Note: Install an isolation valve (not supplied) in the water supply line before the connection to the product.
- Connect the braided hose to the isolation valve installed in the mains water supply line. For best results, the recommended minimum static pressure is 250 kPa (2.5 bar).
- Connect the braided hose from the isolation valve to the top of the undersink unit, marked MAINS IN (see Fig.5).
Hose Connections
Note: To avoid water leaks, be careful not to damage the tubes. The tube must not be kinked around a bend, as the tube may contain water under pressure. If shortening the hoses, ensure ends are cut clean and square.
- Remove plugs from the outlet fittings on the top of the undersink chiller unit by depressing the collet and simultaneously pulling out the plug.
- Measure and trim the three 1/4” coloured hoses from the carafe tap to the outlet fittings on the top of the chiller unit. See Fig.6 and Fig.7.
- Before making the connections, insulate the hoses with the loose length of foam insulation. Trim the insulation to about 5-10mm shorter than the tube.
- For correct hose connection, refer to Fig.6 for ChillTap Standard and ChillTap Heavy Duty, and Fig.7 for ChillTap Extra. Push each hose into the quick-release connector as far as it will go (approx. 15 mm) to ensure a tight connection.
Commissioning
- Turn on the water supply to the unit, then rotate and hold the chilled water or ambient water lever (ChillTap Extra). First air, then water will flow from the tap. Allow the water to continue to flow for about 10 litres, which is required to activate the filter. Once this has been done release the lever to turn off the water. The lever will spring back to the upright position.
- Connect the unit to the mains power supply and turn ON. Switch ON the switch at the side of the undersink unit.
- The compressor and fan will start, and will continue to run until temperature is reached.
Operation
- To dispense chilled, filtered water, rotate the lever on the right hand side of the carafe tap to a horizontal position. The lever will spring back when released.
- ChillTap Extra: Chilled still filtered water is dispensed using the lever on the right hand side of the carafe tap (blue marking).
- Ambient filtered water is dispensed using the lever on the left hand side of the carafe tap (white marking).
- The levers will spring back to the upright position and water flow will stop, when released.
Water Filter
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. To replace the water filter cartridge:
- Turn off the water and power supply to the unit.
- Turn on the chilled water lever (blue marking), to release the water pressure in the unit. Once water has stopped running from the tap, turn off the lever.
- Turn the filter clockwise and gently pull the cartridge down. The cartridge should release from the filter head. Dispose of the filter cartridge responsibly. Clean any water that has pooled below the filter head.
- Fit a new filter by turning filter anti-clockwise and gently pushing up. The filter will click or lock into place.
- Turn on the water supply to the unit.
- Turn on the chilled water tap. Allow 7.5 litres to flow from the outlet.
- Turn off the chilled water tap.
- Turn on the power supply to the unit.
Warning: Not changing filtration cartridges when required may cause the water to become biologically unsafe.
- If the Zip ChillTap 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 5 minutes before consumption.
- Use only a Zip filter to match that used with this ChillTap (if fitted).
- Replacement filter cartridges can be obtained through plumbing suppliers or directly from Zip.
Air Inlet Screen
- The Zip ChillTap air inlet screen is located on the side of the under sink unit. The screen needs to be inspected at least quarterly, cleaned and replaced if damaged.
- Remove the screen for cleaning by sliding it forward. Rinse off any particles with tap water, then gently dry with a cloth or towel. Slide the screen back into place.
Note: For best performance the unit should only be operated with a clean air inlet screen, correctly fitted in place. Maintain at least a 50 mm 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.
Troubleshooting
Prior to any fault finding, please ensure all water connections to the chiller are sound and that the incoming water supply is turned on. Also ensure that all electrical connections to the chiller are secure and that the chiller has had adequate time to cool down. Call a licenced electrician, plumber, or Zip free call in Australia on 1800 460 222, for assistance, service, spare parts, or enquiries.
