Maintaining your Cuisinart Recyclable
CO
2
Cartridge
• The Cuisinart recyclable CO
2
cartridge is
designed specifically for a Cuisinart
Sparkling Beverage Maker system. These
cartridges are uniquely made to fit our
exclusive quick-connect system. Only use
Cuisinart recyclable CO
2
cartridges when
carbonating water in your Sparkling
Beverage Maker.
• Cuisinart recyclable CO
2
cartridges are
safe and made specifically for household
use only. Please follow all safety
instructions.
• Never tamper with the recyclable CO
2
cartridge. Doing so could result in severe
injury.
• Store only in a cool place that is not
subject to frequent temperature changes
or high temperatures. If subjected to heat,
the pressure inside the cartridge will rise.
• All Cuisinart recyclable CO
2
cartridges are
outfitted with an internal burst disk that will
release/expel/discharge the CO
2
if the
pressure inside the cartridge becomes too
high.
• If this should happen, DO NOT touch the
cartridge. Leave the cartridge alone until
all the gas inside the cartridge is released.
You will see the cartridge frost up and it
will become exceptionally cold. DO NOT
touch the cartridge until it has returned
to room temperature. You will know it has
returned to room temperature when the
frost on the outside of the cartridge has
dissipated.
• Continue to exercise caution when
handling the recyclable CO
2
cartridge
as it may still be cold.
• Do not transport your Sparkling Beverage
Maker while the recyclable CO
2
cartridge
is connected to the unit.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight or
temperatures in excess of 130˚F (54˚C).
TIPS AND HINTS
• 3 pumps—two-second bursts of pressure
on the carbonating activation lever leaving
a few seconds in between each burst, are
recommended to achieve an average level
of carbonation. To achieve a stronger
carbonation level, simply pump again to
add more CO

.
• Add your favorite soda syrups to
carbonated water, create your own
homemade sodas, or try the recipes
in our recipe booklet!
• Use your Sparkling Beverage Maker in
tandem with our Juice Extractor – mix
nutritious fresh juices into your carbonated
water!
• Using ingredients readily available at home,
like fresh juice or low calorie/diet syrups, is
a healthier alternative to popular high-
fructose sodas.
• Always tightly cap your beverage bottle
to hold onto the fizz in your beverage!
Make your morning fizz –
Add some carbonated water to freshly
squeezed orange or grapefruit juice. Serve in
a champagne glass with a citrus wedge and
make the kids feel extra special.
To each their own –
You decide how much fizz you want in your
drink. Some prefer water with their bubbles,
while others prefer bubbles to dominate the
water; you be the judge. The more times you
press, the more bubbles are being forced
into your water.
The Chill Factor–
To get the best bubbles, be sure to use
the coldest water possible. Store the
carbonating bottles filled with fresh, filtered
water in the refrigerator so they are ready
to go when you are!
At a moment’s notice –
Simple syrup can keep in the refrigerator for
up to one month. Make a big batch so you
can whip up drinks at any time.
