Package Contents
Your SodaStream Source Sparkling Water Maker Starter Kit includes:
- 1 x SodaStream Source Sparkling Water Maker
- 1 x 1-liter BPA-free reusable Source carbonating bottle
- CO2 carbonator (sold separately, not included in this ASIN)
Setup
Follow these steps to set up your SodaStream Source:
- Remove the back cover of the SodaStream Source by gently pulling it away from the main unit.
- Insert the CO2 carbonator into the back compartment. Screw it in firmly until it is hand-tight.

Operating Instructions
Creating sparkling water with your SodaStream Source is simple:
- Fill the 1-liter carbonating bottle with cold tap water up to the fill line.
- Insert the carbonating bottle into the machine using the snap-lock technology. Push the bottle up and back until it locks into place.
- Press the carbonating button on top of the machine in short, firm bursts (approximately 1 second each). The LED indicator display will show the level of carbonation. For light fizz, press 1-2 times. For medium fizz, press 3-4 times. For strong fizz, press 5+ times.
- Once desired carbonation is reached, gently pull the bottle forward to release it from the machine.
- Add your favorite flavorings (optional) and enjoy your fresh sparkling water.


Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SodaStream Source:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the machine in water.
- Carbonating Bottles: Wash reusable carbonating bottles with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, or in a dishwasher if specified as dishwasher-safe. Do not use hot water above 120°F (49°C).
- CO2 Carbonator: Replace the CO2 carbonator when it is empty. Empty carbonators can often be exchanged for a discount at authorized retailers.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SodaStream Source, try these common solutions:
- No Carbonation: Ensure the CO2 carbonator is correctly installed and not empty. Make sure the carbonating bottle is filled with water to the line and securely locked in place.
- Leaking Water: Check that the carbonating bottle is properly inserted and sealed. Ensure the water level does not exceed the fill line.
- Weak Fizz: Press the carbonating button for longer or more times to achieve a stronger fizz. Ensure the water is cold, as cold water carbonates better.
