Your newest home ritual,
courtesy of Aarke.
As a group of design enthusiasts, we appreciate you taking the time to get
to know your new Carbonator. At-home carbonation is a more convenient,
aordable, and environmentally-friendly alternative to store-bought
sparkling water--you’ve made an excellent choice. Beyond the surface, there
are a wide range of benefits your Carbonator has to oer, such as custom
carbonation levels. We encourage you to experiment with the lever to achieve
your preferred degree of carbonation.
Your Carbonator has been crafted with the finest premium materials, designed
and tested from the inside out for peak quality and safety. However, please
keep in mind that any product involving the use of gas and pressure systems
should be handled with care and used only as intended. Be sure to carefully
review the safety section of this guide before use.

Unscrew the plastic seal from the top of the cylinder, and carefully insert it
into the machine through the hole at the bottom. Do not drop the cylinder into
the hole. When you feel it reach the top, begin to screw the cylinder in with a
clockwise motion until fastened. Be careful not to screw it in too hard, as this
could rupture the threads holding the cylinder in place.
When replacing the gas cylinder, carefully lay the Carbonator on its side with
the lever facing upwards. Unscrew the cylinder with a counterclockwise motion
and carefully remove it from the compartment.

THE CARBONATION PROCESS
1. Fill the bottle
Rinse the bottle with lukewarm water before
first time use. Fill with cold, clean water
up to the marked filling line. If the bottle is
overfilled, excess water will flow into the spill
tray during carbonation.
3. Carbonate the water
Pull and gently hold the lever down until you
hear a persistant buzzing noise from the
valve.
4. Release the bottle
Release the lever back to its resting
position. The remaining pressure in the
bottle will automatically release with
a pu sound. Unscrew and remove the
bottle from the machine.
2. Attach the bottle
Place the bottle in the socket and begin
to screw in with a counterclockwise motion.
No need to overly-tighten, but be sure the
bottle isn’t crooked when screwed in.

DEGREE OF CARBONATION
GIVE YOUR CARBONATOR A LONG, HAPPY LIFE
How do you prefer your sparkling water?
Carbonation levels can be increased by repeating the
carbonation process. Pro tip: Conserve gas and maximize
bubbles by only releasing the lever half-way between
each carbonation cycle (each time you push the lever
down all the way).
Stainless Steel finish
The Carbonator in Stainless Steel is truly
made from stainless steel--its lustre comes
from a chrome element, and its stainless
quality comes from nickel. To clean your
Stainless Steel Carbonator, we recommend
using a microfibre cloth and clean water,
with some mild soap if needed. Avoid
strong detergents and abrasive household
cleaners. Following these maintenance tips
is strongly encouraged to prolong the look
and performance of your Carbonator for
years to come.
Lacquered finish
The Carbonator is also available in a variety
of lacquered finishes that are achieved by
industrial paint or finishing on stainless
steel. For Carbonators with a gloss finish,
we recommend using a microfibre cloth
and clean water, with some mild soap if
needed. For Carbonators with a matte finish,
we recommend using a soft cloth or sponge
and clean water. Avoid strong detergents
and abrasive household cleaners.
The Aarke Carbonator allows for custom levels of carbonation, depending on your personal
preference. Carbonation is also influenced by other factors such as water temperature and
the amount of gas in the cylinder.

ENUser Guide
Never put your Aarke PET Bottle in the
dishwasher. Though they are engineered to be
extremely durable, our bottles can only withstand
a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius--
more extreme temperatures may compromise the
structural integrity of the bottle.
CLEANING THE BOTTLE
EMPTYING THE SPILL TRAY
To clean your Aarke PET Bottle, use clean lukewarm water
and a mild detergent. If using a dishwashing brush, be
sure that the brush is intended for cleaning plastic bottles
– other brushes may leave scratches on the bottle’s
surface. Avoid solvents, strong detergents, and abrasive
household cleaners.
To clean excess water
from the spill tray,
use a clean dishcloth.
Why is there water in the spill tray?
If the bottle is overfilled prior to carbonation, excess water will
flush through the machine and be collected in the spill tray.
To avoid this, be sure to only fill the bottle up to the filling line.
