Setup

1. Installing the CO2 Cylinder

  2. Remove the back cover of the appliance by gently pulling it.
  3. Insert the CO2 cylinder into the designated compartment at the back of the machine.
  4. Twist the cylinder clockwise until it is firmly tightened. Do not overtighten.
  5. Replace the back cover.

2. Preparing the Carbonating Bottle

For best results, always use cold, clean water.

  1. 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.
  2. Twist the carbonating bottle into the machine's nozzle until it is securely locked in place.

Follow these steps to carbonate your water:

  1. Ensure the CO2 cylinder is installed and the carbonating bottle is filled with cold water and securely attached.
  2. Press the button downwards firmly for 2-3 seconds until you hear a buzzing sound from the valve. This indicates the carbonation process.

  5. 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.
