Setup
1. Installing the CO2 Cylinder
Before first use, rinse the carbonating bottle. To install the CO2 cylinder:
- Place the sparkling water maker on a flat, stable surface.
- Remove the back cover of the appliance by gently pulling it.
- Insert the CO2 cylinder into the designated compartment at the back of the machine.
- Twist the cylinder clockwise until it is firmly tightened. Do not overtighten.
- Replace the back cover.
2. Preparing the Carbonating Bottle
For best results, always use cold, clean water.
- Fill the BPA-free 1L carbonating bottle with cold, clean water. Ensure the water level is between the marked 'Min' and 'Max' filling lines on the bottle.
- Twist the carbonating bottle into the machine's nozzle until it is securely locked in place.

Operating Instructions
Carbonating Water
Follow these steps to carbonate your water:
- Ensure the CO2 cylinder is installed and the carbonating bottle is filled with cold water and securely attached.
- Press the button downwards firmly for 2-3 seconds until you hear a buzzing sound from the valve. This indicates the carbonation process.
- Release the button.
- Repeat steps 2-3 times to customize the carbonation level to your preference. For stronger carbonation, press more times.
- Once carbonation is complete, unscrew the bottle from the machine.

Tips for Best Bubbles
- Always use very cold water. Cold water absorbs CO2 more effectively, resulting in better carbonation.
- Do not over-carbonate. Excessive carbonation can lead to gas waste and may not improve fizz.
Adding Flavors
Always add flavors or fruit slices after carbonating the water. Adding them before carbonation can cause foaming and potential mess.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Appliance: Wipe the exterior of the sparkling water maker with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water.
- Carbonating Bottle: Hand wash the carbonating bottle with lukewarm water and mild dish soap. Do not wash in a dishwasher or use hot water, as this can damage the bottle.
- Drip Tray: The drip tray can be removed and rinsed with water.
