Using the Sparkling Water Function
(For Sparkling Water Refrigerators Only - Optional)
With a Sodastream CO
2
cylinder, your refrigerator can make and dispense sparkling (carbonated) water.
Making Sparkling Water
To turn on the Sparkling Water function and make sparkling water, press the Cubed/Crushed button for
3 seconds. When you turn on the function, the Carbonation Level icons light up in rotation (Level-1 →
Level-2 → Level-3 → Level-1, etc.) and, within a few seconds, the refrigerator begins to make sparkling
water. When production is complete, the Carbonation Level icon rotation stops.
If you leave the Sparkling Water Production function on, and the amount of Sparkling Water becomes
low, the refrigerator automatically enters the Sparkling Water production mode and makes more.
However, if you turn off the Sparkling Water Production function, the refrigerator will not make additional
sparkling water, even if there is little sparkling water left in the Sparkling Water tank.
Sparkling Water Production Time
Depending on the Carbonation Level you set (See Setting the Carbonation Level), the amount of time it
takes the refrigerator to complete the sparkling water production process changes. The table below lists
the production times by Carbonation Level. The refrigerator is pre-set at the factory to Level 2.
Carbonation Level Level 3 - Hi Level 2 -Mid Level 1 - Low
Production Time About 30 minutes About 20 minutes About 10 minutes
Approximate Production
Amount Per One Cylinder
5.3 gallon (20 L) 9.8 gallon (37 L) 19.5 gallon (74 L)
Dispensing Sparkling Water
To dispense sparkling water, press the Sparkling Water button. Then, push the Ice/Sparkling Water lever
gently with a glass. As time passes, the sparkling water dispensing speed can change. When the water
tastes strongly carbonated, the dispensing speed can be faster. When the carbonation is weaker, the
dispensing speed can slow.
The dissolved CO
2
in the sparkling water can also cause the water to pop out when you dispense it. In
addition, due to the pressure fluctuations in the Sparkling Water Tank, the water stream may shake or
become intermittent.
If you keep dispensing sparking water, the water stream may become unstable or break up. This is
caused by changes in pressure in the Sparkling Water Tank. It is not a defect.
Water Dripping
Some time after you have dispensed sparkling water, a few drops of sparkling water can escape from
the dispenser. The water dripping is not a product defect, but a natural result of mixing CO
2
and water.
