Page 7: Parts Overview
Parts Overview After unpacking the equipment, ensure all parts are present and check that none have been damaged in transport. Your purchase should include the following parts: see note below ^ ^ This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS/NZS 3500.1 No further backflow protection required for connection to the water supply. Figure 4: Parts Included Parts exclude a CO bottle*. Provided the supplied pressure regulator is installed, most bottles can be used, including a regular SodaStream bottle however, for better value and ease of use, we recommend using a 2.6kg bottle available from sodatap.com.au or your local brewing supply store (where they can also be refilled). The ST2 tap is an optional substitute for the ST1 tap. The tubing included can be used for both CO and water connections. It can be cut to any length and the amount supplied is ample for regular installation. *unless selected with your order ^ a 0.9kg bottle is also available if space is restricted Copyright Sodatap© 2023 Page 7 STM1 Manual V10... -

Maintenance Filter replacement Filter replacement is advised every 6 months, when taste diminishes or when water flow is reduced. Replacement filters are available from sodatap.com.au The use of improper filters may void your warranty. Turn off the water supply at the inlet. The 3‐way valve is shut when the lever is perpendicular. Depressurise the water lines by dispensing ambient water until flow stops. Remove the filter cover by pushing in the clip-on top of the unit.

(a visual gauge of when the bottle is nearing empty and requires replacement). When decreasing pressure, the pressure release valve can be pulled momentarily to assist with setting a lower pressure if required. This valve can be pulled upwards and is identified by a keyring. Slowly open the red regulator valve and dispense sparkling water from the tap for several seconds by selecting the sparkling water position. Next, turn the tap selector to 'off' (by lining the selector up with any of the blue lines) and allow the machine to refill for approximately 1 minute, repeating this process until water carbonation is evident in the dispensed water. Note: The pressure on the pressure gauge should fluctuate between 3‐4 Bar during this process and during normal operation. 6.

Adjust pressure regulator to too low increase pressure (do not exceed 4 Bar) Table 4: Troubleshooting Note:It is normal for the unit to produce some heat evident in the cupboard space, particularly during cooling. This can be exacerbated by hot water dishwashing in the sink. This is normal as the unit dissapates heat to cool the water but should the cupboard space exceed 35 degrees celcius, leave the cupboard door open for a while and consider additional ventilation. If the temperature continues to rise, switch off the unit and call professional assistance. Copyright Sodatap© 2023 Page 35 STM1 Manual V10... -
