An average (normal) concentration of carbon dioxide in the water is achieved by pressing the
carbonation button slowly and fi rmly for 3 seconds. Release the carbonation button slowly. A
hissing sound from the pressure valves may be heard. When the carbonation button reverts
to its standard position, the process can be repeated in order to obtain a higher concentration
of carbon dioxide in the water.
You will soon fi nd out which concentration of carbon dioxide is the best. At an average
carbonation of water, a CO2 cylinder will be suffi cient for about 60 litres of water.
Important:
Do not press the carbonation button repeatedly at short intervals, as this may
cause a malfunctioning of the carbonation process and water may pass through the overfl ow
tubes of the machine.
NOTE:
Cold water generates more sparkles than tepid water. Let the cold water from the tap
run a little before use.
Overfl owing of water during carbonation
If water is leaking through the overfl ow holes during addition of carbon dioxide, the reason
could be the following,
-
the water bottle has not been correctly mounted,
-
too much water in the water bottle,
-
carbonation for too short intervals or for too long,
-
more carbon dioxide has been added than the water can absorb, or
-
tap water has not been used
Important:
After use, check that water has not run out of the overfl ow holes (behind the
carbonation tube). Any overfl ow water will collect under the soda water bottle or run out of
the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance
Wipe the surface of the SodaMaster machine with a humid cloth. Only use a mild detergent.
Never immerse the SodaMaster machine into water.
The water bottle can withstand a water temperature of up to 40°C. In order to avoid bacterial
development always rinse the water bottle and the lid under warm water before use. If
necessary, use a mild detergent. But always rinse the water bottle with clean water afterwards.
Do not
put the water bottle and the lid in a dishwasher.
Trouble shooting
Water is running out of the overfl ow holes at the front of the machine
•
Too much water in the bottle (above the ”MAX” level)
•
Carbonation at too short intervals
•
Carbonation for too long time
•
Essence or similar has been put in the water bottle prior to carbonisation
•
Too hot water, max 12ºC has been used
