Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by children under 8 years or persons
(including children under 8 years) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Qualifications
To avoid hazards, all installation procedures must be carried out by a
suitably qualified tradesperson. The power cable and power outlet must be in a
safe visible position for connection.
Venting
Sometimes steam and / or boiling water droplets may discharge through a vent
outlet on the tap. If not using the font, ensure the tap body is located so
the tap outlet safely dispenses into the sink bowl.
Lifting
Take care when lifting. The Command Centre may exceed safe lifting limits. If
you feel this is beyond your personal capabilities, please seek assistance
with the lift. The weight of the Command Centre is marked on the packaging. Do
not lift the Command Centre by the front cover or any of its connections.
Airflow
The Zenith HydroTap operates within the ambient temperature range 5ºC – 35ºC.
Proper air circulation must be provided. The system will operate
satisfactorily only if the recommended air gaps are provided. The vent kit
supplied must be fitted.
Altitude
Water boils at varying temperatures at different altitudes. The HydroTap
adjusts for this during startup calibration and will recalibrate itself on a
regular basis.
Frost protection
If the HydroTap is located where the ambient air temperature could fall below
5ºC when the system is not in use, do not turn off the Command Centre
electrically. This safeguard does not offer the same protection to the
connecting pipework and fittings.
