SOURCE™ OVERVIEW
The package includes the SodaStream® SOURCE™ Soda Maker, SodaStream® CO₂ Carbonator and a reusable BPA-Free carbonating bottle with fizz-preserving cap. Flavor samples may be included.
¹ Includes a 60L or a mini SodaStream® CO₂ Carbonator (under license). Once empty, the 60L and mini SodaStream® Carbonator can be exchanged for a full 60L SodaStream® Carbonator for the price of the gas only. A 60L SodaStream® Carbonator makes up to 60L of soda depending on the level of carbonation and type of soda maker used.
² Actual shape of bottle may differ. A dishwasher-safe carbonating bottle may be included and is identified by its 'Dishwasher-Safe' marking.
INSTALLING THE CO₂ CARBONATOR
- Place the SOURCE™ Soda 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 the Soda Maker. Set the back cover aside.
- Remove seal and cap from the SodaStream CO₂ carbonator. Tip the Soda Maker forward and insert the carbonator through the hole in the base and upward into the carbonating head.
- Access the carbonator by inserting your fingers through the open back, turn the carbonator to the right while applying gentle pressure until it is firmly held in place. Hand-tighten only; DO NOT use tools.
- Place the Soda Maker back into the upright position. Reinstall the back cover by tilting the cover towards you, fitting the slot at the bottom of the back cover onto the upright tab at the rear of the base of the Soda Maker and pushing the cover into place onto the back of the Soda Maker. Now you are ready to create the bubbles.
CREATE THE BUBBLES
- Prior to making soda, fill the carbonating bottle with cold water up to the fill line.
- To insert the carbonating bottle, make sure that the carbonating block is in its fully upward position and the bottle rest is angled forward. If it isn't, pull it towards you until it clicks. Do not pull the carbonation tube. Insert the carbonating bottle neck into the Snap-Lock. Push the bottle up and back. The Snap-Lock mechanism will catch the bottle and hold it in a vertical position.
- Push down the carbonating block, hold for 1-2 seconds until the first carbonation LED indicator is illuminated and release. Wait for the carbonating block to return to its upward position. Repeat to obtain a stronger level of carbonation as indicated by the illumination of an additional carbonation LED indicator. (See 'Carbonating Levels' section.)
- When desired level of carbonation is achieved, with the carbonating block in its fully upward position pull the carbonating bottle towards you to release it from the Snap-Lock. Enjoy!
YOU MAY SEE SMALL PIECES OF ICE APPEAR IN THE WATER DURING CARBONATION OF VERY COLD WATER: If this happens, shorten the time of each press until the ice stops appearing or it can affect the carbonation. Any ice created will simply melt.
CARBONATING LEVELS
For LIGHT FIZZ – Push down the carbonating block, hold for 1-2 seconds until the first carbonation LED indicator is illuminated, release, and wait for the carbonating block to return to its upward position before removing the carbonating bottle.
For MEDIUM FIZZ – Follow the instructions for light fizz and repeat until the second carbonation LED indicator is illuminated and then release. Wait for the carbonating block to return to its upward position between each press and before removing the carbonating bottle.
For HIGH FIZZ – Follow the instructions for medium fizz but repeat for a third time until all three carbonation LED indicators are illuminated. Wait for the carbonating block to return to its upward position between each press and before removing the carbonating bottle.
For high fizz, and for maximum utilization of CO₂, use cold water. (Do not use ice-cold water).
FLAVOR YOUR WAY!
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. Enjoy!
For Sodamix Bottles: After making sparkling water hold the open carbonating bottle at an angle and slowly add the desired flavor by pouring it slowly and carefully down the inside wall of the bottle. Close with the fizz-preserving cap and tighten, then mix with a gentle shake. Enjoy!

- It is normal to hear a small amount of gas released at the end of the carbonation process.
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.
