DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Using the Sparkling Water Function
(For Sparkling Water Refrigerators Only - Optional)
With a Sodastream CO cylinder, your refrigerator can make and dispense sparkling
2
(carbonated) water.
Making Sparkling Water
To produce sparkling water, press and hold the Sparkling Maker button for 3 seconds. The
carbonation process starts with the short lines inside the cup icon turning on one by one clockwise.
When the process is complete, all short lines turn solid.
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. Quick Sparkling enables you to produce sparkling water within 10 minutes. (It consumes
more CO2 gas than in level 3)
Carbonation Level Level 3 - High Level 2 -Mid Level 1 - Low
Production Time About 30 minutes About 20 minutes About 10 minutes
Available Capacity 1.16 quarts (1.1ℓ) 1.16 quarts (1.1ℓ) 1.16 quarts (1.1ℓ)
Dispensing Sparkling Water
To dispense sparkling water, press down the Sparkling-Selection lever. 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 in the sparkling water can also cause the water to pop out when you dispense
2
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 sparkling 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.
