# Read These Warnings First
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 outlet 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
If this model comes with a carafe filler, position and install the carafe filler at
the back of the sink where there is a 45 mm wide flat area within the draining
area of the sink.
Make sure the selected position allows the carafe filler spout to overhang the
sink bowl.
# Domestic Installation Instructions
Please read all installation requirements, installation procedures and
precautions before installing any Zip Chill Tap.
Never attempt to install any Zip Chill Tap without reading all of the applicable
instructions.
All electrical connections must comply with current wiring rules.
This appliance is not designed for use by young children or infirm people
without supervision.
Young children should be prevented from having access to ensure they are not
able to use or play with the chiller.
This appliance must be earthed.
If the power supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by a Zip Service
Provider or a qualified electrician.
Do not remove the cover of the appliance under any circumstances without
first isolating the appliance from the power supply.

# Domestic Installation Instructions continued
Use a 25 mm sheet metal punch to create a neat hole without burrs.
Remove the nut and washer from the base of the carafe filler, leaving the rubber-
sealing ring in place.
Fit the carafe filler and seal to the sink, oriented so that the operating lever is away
from the sink bowl.
Slide the washer and nut over the tubes from under the sink, and tighten the nut to
secure the carafe filler firmly into place.
Connecting
If this model comes with a filtration kit, follow the separate filter kit installation
instructions.
It this is an unfiltered model, only a 1/2" BSP to 1/4" tube adaptor is supplied.
You must separately supply and install an isolating valve in the supply line before
the connection to the product.
If the pressure exceeds 700kPa, you must also supply and install a 350kPa
pressure-limiting valve.
From the outlet of the pressure limiting valve or the outlet of the filter housing
(if supplied) connect the CLEAR tubing from the vented carafe filler, 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.
Now measure and cut the RED tube to connect directly to the JG fitting marked
INLET on the top right rear of the chiller unit. Insulate the BLUE tube with the loose
length of the pipe insulation, cut both pieces to correct length. Now connect the
BLUE tube to the JG fitting marked OUTLET on the top left rear of the chiller.
Tap connection is now complete.
Precautions
The plumbing installation must be done in accordance with local Water Authority
regulations and these Installation Instructions.
As the installer, it is your responsibility to supply (if necessary) and install all valves
as required by local regulations and relevant standards.
The chiller and filtration systems are indoor units and must not be exposed to the
elements of nature.

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 (if fitted) 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
found.
The filters (if fitted), chiller and tubing are full of air until purged. Press 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.
Plug the 3-pin power cord into a standard power point. Do NOT turn "ON"
until after the unit is purged.
Wipe clean and dry the area.
Dispose of packaging wisely.

# Domestic Operating Procedures
Operation
Chilled water is obtained by rotating the lever on the carafe filler. The water is
chilled by a refrigeration unit fitted within the cabinet stand, under the basin.
With the carafe filler, you can obtain chilled water within the rated capacity, for
as long as you leave the lever in the open (vertical) position. When finished,
return the lever to the OFF (upright) position.
Cleaning
Never use strong, corrosive or abrasive cleaning materials on the Zip Chill Tap.
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 Chill Tap Under Counter Chiller may have a separate filtration system
connected to the incoming water supply line, and which may be located within
the same cupoard 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 Chill Tap at least six months after installation and
after every subsequent filter change.
Use only a Zip Filter to match that used with this Chill Tap (if fitted).
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.
Call an electrican, a plumber, or Zip for a free call in Australia on 1800-638-
633, for assistance, service , spare parts, or enquiries.
