What's Inside
The package includes:
- SodaStream® FIZZI™ Sparkling Water Maker
- SodaStream® CO₂ Cylinder (under license)
- Reusable BPA-Free carbonating bottle with fizz-preserving cap
A 60L SodaStream® CO₂ Cylinder can make up to 60L of sparkling water, depending on the carbonation level. The cylinder can be exchanged for a full one for the price of the gas only.
Note: The actual shape of the bottle may differ. Some models may include a dishwasher-safe carbonating bottle, identified by a 'Dishwasher-Safe' marking.
Installing the CO₂ Cylinder
- Place the FIZZI™ Sparkling Water Maker on a flat, sturdy surface in an upright position. Remove the back cover by grasping it and pulling it away from the main body.
- Remove the seal and cap from the SodaStream CO₂ cylinder. Tip the Sparkling Water Maker forward and insert the cylinder through the hole in the base and upward into the carbonating head.
- Screw the cylinder valve thread into the carbonating head. Hand-tighten only; do not use tools.
- Return the Sparkling Water Maker to its upright position. Reinstall the back cover by aligning the upright tab at the bottom of the back cover with the slot at the rear of the base and pushing the cover into place.
Create the Bubbles
- Fill the carbonating bottle with cold water up to the designated fill line.
- To insert the bottle, ensure the bottle rest is angled forward. If not, pull it towards you until it clicks. Insert the bottle neck into the Snap-Lock mechanism. Push the bottle up and back until it is caught and held vertically.
- To carbonate, press and hold the carbonating button down firmly until you hear three puffing sounds. Release the button.
- When the desired carbonation level is reached, pull the carbonating bottle towards you to release it from the Snap-Lock.
Note: You may see small pieces of ice appear in the water during carbonation of very cold water. If this occurs, shorten the duration of each press until the ice stops appearing, as it can affect carbonation. Any ice created will melt.
Flavor Your Way!
After creating sparkling water, hold the open carbonating bottle at an angle. Slowly add your preferred SodaStream Sparkling Drink Mix flavor by pouring it down the inside wall of the bottle. Close the bottle with the fizz-preserving cap, tighten it, and mix with a gentle shake. Enjoy!

Re-carbonating a Drink:

Sound of Leaking Gas After Installing New Cylinder:
- Screw the cylinder tighter into its fitting by hand.
Poor Carbonation:
- WARNING: Do not re-carbonate after adding flavor.
- If flavor has not been added, carbonate again to a higher level.

- Verify the bottle is securely installed in the Snap-Lock. Reinsert if loose.
Flavor Not Strong Enough:
- Add more flavor to taste.
- WARNING: Do not re-carbonate after adding flavor.
Ice Appears During Carbonation:
