WHAT'S INSIDE

The package includes the SodaStream POWER™ Sparkling Water Maker, a power adapter, a 60L CO₂ Carbonator and a reusable 1L BPA-Free carbonating bottle with fizz-preserving cap.

• A 60L CO₂ carbonator makes up to 60L of sparkling water depending on the level of carbonation and type of Sparkling Water Maker used.
• Actual shape of bottle may differ. A dishwasher-safe carbonating bottle may be included and is identified by its 'Dishwasher-Safe' marking.

POWER™ OVERVIEW

Carbonating Buttons: Controls for carbonation level.

LED Lights: Indicate carbonation status.

Snap-Lock Bottle Mechanism: Secures the carbonating bottle.

Carbonating Tube: Delivers CO₂ into the water.

Bottle Rest: Supports the carbonating bottle.

Insert for Power Lead: Connection point for the power adapter.

Base: Provides stability for the unit.

INSTALLING THE CO₂ CARBONATOR AND POWERING UP

1. Step 1: Place the POWER™ Sparkling Water Maker on a flat, sturdy surface, in an upright position. Remove the back cover by putting your index finger into the hole, grasping the back cover and pulling it away from the body of your Sparkling Water Maker. Set the back cover aside.
2. Step 2: Remove shrink wrap and cap from the valve of the SodaStream CO₂ carbonator. Tilt the Sparkling Water Maker forward and insert the carbonator into the back of the Sparkling Water Maker by first inserting the base of the carbonator followed by the body of the carbonator.
3. Step 3: Gently push the carbonator up and screw to the right while applying pressure until it is firmly held in place. Hand-tighten only; DO NOT use tools.
4. Step 4: Securely plug the power cord into your Sparkling Water Maker, ensuring that the cord runs through the slot in the plastic tab. Insert the plug into the wall outlet. The LED lights will come on.
5. Step 5: Replace the back cover by tilting it towards you, fitting the bottom edge onto the rear of the Sparkling Water Maker and then pushing the cover onto the back of the Sparkling Water Maker until the cover clicks into place.

CREATE THE BUBBLES

Fill the carbonating bottle with cold water up to the fill line. For best results, use ice-cold water.

Pull the Snap-Lock towards you by pulling the bottle rest forward until it clicks. Insert the carbonating bottle into the Snap-Lock, pushing it up and back until it locks into place. The Snap-Lock will grip the bottle and hold it in a vertical position.

NOTE: When inserted correctly, there is a small gap between the bottom of the carbonating bottle and the base. Do not carbonate if the carbonating bottle is resting on the base, or water will splash out.

If the Sparkling Water Maker is not used for 60 seconds, the lights will turn off. The lights will come on when a carbonating bottle is installed and locked into place.

CARBONATION LEVELS

To carbonate, press one of the three buttons to achieve your desired carbonation level:

When carbonating a 1L bottle:

• a) Left button (one drop) for light fizz
• b) Middle button (two drops) for medium fizz
• c) Right button (three drops) for high fizz

When carbonating a 0.5 L bottle:

• a) Left button (one drop) for medium fizz
• b) Middle button (two drops) for high fizz
• c) Right button should not be used

Once a carbonating button is pressed, the corresponding LED light will flash to indicate that carbonation is in process. Once the LED stops flashing, carbonation is complete. Lights will remain on for a further 30 seconds or until the carbonating bottle is removed.

After you hear the excess gas being released, pull the carbonating bottle towards you to release it from the Snap-Lock.

If you require more carbonation in your water, you may carbonate again twice more without removing the carbonating bottle, after which the buttons will be deactivated. The buttons are reactivated when the carbonating bottle is removed and reinserted.

ADDING FLAVOR

SodaStream Caps®

For SodaStream Caps: After making sparkling water, place a SodaStream Cap on the top of the open carbonating bottle and press down firmly. Flavor will be immediately released and dissolved. Once emptied, remove the SodaStream Cap. Close with the fizz-preserving cap and tighten, then mix with a gentle shake. Enjoy!

SodaStream flavors in bottles

For Sodamix Bottles: After making sparkling water hold the open carbonating bottle at an angle and add the desired flavor by pouring it slowly and carefully down the inside of the bottle. Close with the fizz-preserving cap and tighten, then mix with a gentle shake. Enjoy!

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before you call for service, please check the list of possible problems and solutions below:

YOUR SPARKLING WATER MAKER DOES NOT CARBONATE:

• Check that the power cord is correctly connected to the Sparkling Water Maker and that the adapter is securely plugged into a working electrical socket.
• You might be out of gas; replace your carbonator with a full SodaStream carbonator.
• Carbonator may be loose. Remove the carbonating bottle, open and remove the back cover of the Sparkling Water Maker to access the carbonator and retighten the carbonator by hand. DO NOT use tools. Apply firm pressure but do not over tighten. If the carbonator is already firmly in place, it may be empty. Replace with a full SodaStream carbonator.
• Check that the carbonating bottle has been filled up with water to the fill line.

THE LIGHTS ARE NOT LIT UP:

• Check that the power cord is correctly connected to the Sparkling Water Maker and that the adapter is securely plugged into a working electrical socket.
• If you have carbonated the same carbonating bottle three times without removing the carbonating bottle then the carbonating buttons will become deactivated. They will be reactivated when the carbonating bottle is removed and reinserted.

YOU CANNOT INSERT THE CARBONATING BOTTLE INTO THE SNAP-LOCK:

• Pull the bottle rest towards you until it clicks into its fully forward position. Insert bottle into Snap-Lock. Firmly push bottle up and back until it locks into place.

YOU HEAR GAS ESCAPING FROM THE CARBONATING BOTTLE:

• The carbonating bottle may not be properly attached. Allow the Sparkling Water Maker to finish the carbonation process and then you can detach the bottle and reconnect it. Follow the instructions in the ‘Create the Bubbles' section.
• It is normal to hear a small amount of gas released at the end of the carbonation process.

YOU WANT TO RE-CARBONATE A DRINK THAT WAS ALREADY CARBONATED:

• WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY, NEVER carbonate again after adding the flavor. You may recarbonate only plain or sparkling unflavored water.

YOUR SPARKLING WATER MAKER CONTINUES TO RELEASE GAS AFTER CARBONATION IS FINISHED:

• WARNING: Do not remove the carbonator or the bottle. Leave the Sparkling Water Maker in an upright position. Do not touch it until you no longer hear gas escaping. When the Sparkling Water Maker is no longer releasing gas, remove the carbonating bottle and contact your local SodaStream Customer Service Center.
• DANGER: A CO₂ leak can lead to carbon dioxide poisoning. In the event of a CO₂ leak, ventilate the area, breathe fresh air and immediately seek medical attention.

TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED

YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF LEAKING GAS AFTER INSTALLING A NEW CARBONATOR INTO THE SPARKLING WATER MAKER:

• Screw the carbonator tighter into its fitting. DO NOT use tools.

YOU EXPERIENCE POOR CARBONATION:

• WARNING: DO NOT re-carbonate after adding flavor.
• If you have not yet added flavor, carbonate again to a higher carbonation level.
• Carbonate using ice-cold water.
• If you still experience poor carbonation you may be out of gas. Replace the carbonator.

WATER OVERFLOWS FROM THE CARBONATING BOTTLE DURING CARBONATION:

• Check that the carbonating bottle is filled to just the fill line.
• Verify that the carbonating bottle is firmly installed in the Snap-Lock. Check by gently pulling the bottom of the bottle. If it feels loose, then remove and reinsert.

YOUR SPARKLING WATER IS NOT FLAVORFUL ENOUGH:

• Just add more flavor to taste!
• WARNING: DO NOT re-carbonate after adding the flavor.

SMALL PIECES OF ICE APPEAR IN THE WATER DURING CARBONATION:

• This might happen when carbonating very cold water. Any ice created will simply melt.
