Congratulations to your new sparkling water maker from Aarke.
A few minutes spent on reading this book will enable you to get the very best out of this excellent
soda maker. Carbonating water at home is convenient, aordable and environmentally friendly.
The other advantage with a carbonator over bottled mineral water is that you can choose your
own level of carbonation. You will soon get to know your carbonator and learn how you should
operate it to get the perfect level of carbonation. Some people like a real carbonation bite and
some want a milder eervescent taste.
The Aarke sparkling water maker is carefully crafted in the finest materials, designed and tested
for best possible quality and safety. However, products that include gas and high pressures
should always be handled with care. It is, therefore, important that the product is used as
intended. Please read through the safety section of this book carefully before using it.
Welcome to Aarke!

Remove the spill tray grid and then carefully lay the carbonator down on the side with the lever
upwards.
Unscrew the plastic sealing from the cylinder top. Carefully insert the gas cylinder through
the hole at the bottom. Don’t drop the cylinder into the hole. When you feel that it reaches the
bottom, begin screwing the cylinder clockwise until it is fastened. Don’t screw too hard since this
might break the threads holding the gas cylinder in place.
When you need to replace the gas cylinder, lay the carbonator down on the side with the lever
pointing up and unscrew it counterclockwise and then carefully pull it out of the compartment.

THE CARBONATION PROCESS
2. Attach the water bottle
Rinse the water bottle with luke warm water
before you use it for the first time. Fill the
water bottle with cold, clean water up to the
marked filling line. If you fill too much you
will get a lot of water in the spill tray during
carbonation.
Screw the water bottle into the water bottle
socket. Screw counterclockwise if viewed
from above. Don’t screw extremely hard -
just make sure the water bottle sits properly.
1. Fill the water bottle
3. Carbonate the water
Pull the lever downwards until you hear
a sound from the valve.
4. Ventilate the bottle
Release the lever back to horizontal
position. The remaining pressure in
the water bottle will be released
with a pu sound. Then unscrew the
water bottle.

How would you like your soda water?
With the Aarke Sparkling water maker you can easily learn how to adjust the degree of
carbonation, or, how much bubbles you want. The level of carbonation depends on many
factors such as the temperature of the water and the amount of gas in the gas cylinder.
You will add more carbonation to the water by
repeating the carbonating process. The process
will consume less gas if you only lift the lever half-
ways (enough to quiet the buzzing sound but before
relieving the pressure from the bottle) between the
carbonation cycles.
This carbonator is made of polished stainless steel. Stainless steel gets its lustre from the chrome
and its stainless quality from the nickel. Adhering to the maintenance tips will ensure that
you enjoy (the look of) your Aarke Carbonator for a long time. To clean your carbonator we
recommend using a micro fibre cloth and water. If needed you could use some mild soap. Do not
use strong detergents or cleanser with abrasive substance.
The lacquered Aarke Carbonators are made of polished stainless steel that have been
industrially painted in various colours and finishes. To clean your glossy lacquered Aarke
Carbonator we recommend using a micro fibre cloth and water. If needed you could use some
mild soap. To clean you matte lacquered Aarke Carbonator we recommend using a soft cloth
or sponge and water. If needed you could use some mild soap. Never use strong detergents or
cleanser with abrasive substance.

EMPTYING THE SPILL TRAY
RINSING THE WATER BOTTLE
Water that flushes through the machine during
the carbonating process ends up in the spill tray.
This is often a result of too much water in the
water bottle. Make sure the water is not filled
above the filling line.
Remove the water with a
dish-cloth.
Why is there water in the spill tray?
To clean the Aarke water bottle use clean lukewarm
water with a mild detergent. If using a dishwasher
brush, make sure the brush is intended to be used
for cleaning plastic bottles and do not leave any
scratches. Do not use solvents, strong detergents or
cleanser with abrasive substances.
Never wash the Aarke water bottles in a
dishwasher. The Aarke water bottles can
withstand a maximum temperature of 40
degrees Celsius.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Never carbonate anything other than plain water
Don’t carbonate wine.Don’t put fruits, vegetables
or herbs in the water bottle
before carbonating.
Don’t carbonate
juice or milk.
Don’t put flavours
or syrup into the
water bottle before
carbonating.
Don’t put ice in the
water bottle before
carbonating.
Don’t give new life
to old flat soda.
When carbonating, a small amount of liquid could bubble up through the valves. If the water
contains sugar or other compounds the valves could start malfunction and the product could
potentially be dangerous to use. Never add fruit slices, ice and flavours in the water bottle. Use a
pitcher or mix it directly in your glass. Rinse the water bottle carefully before filling it with water.

Never clean the water bottle in the dishwasher
Keep the sparkling water maker away from potential sources of heat
The water bottle is designed to withstand pressures up to double the working pressure of the
carbonator. However, this ability is quickly destroyed if the bottle is exposed to heat above 40
degrees Celsius. Most dishwashers operate at very high temperatures so therefore never put the
bottle in the dishwasher.
Don’t place the
sparkling water
maker in a sunny
window.
Don’t place the
sparkling water
maker close to an
open flame.
Don’t use the
sparkling water
maker in extreme
hot conditions.
Don’t place the
sparkling water
maker close to a
hot radiator.
Due to the laws of physics, the pressure in the gas cylinder depends on the outside temperature.
The Aarke sparkling water maker is optimized for using the gas cylinder at room temperature. If
the cylinder gets too hot, it could be dangerous to use the machine.

Expiry date
After the bottle has expired, the plastic may have weakened a little bit and for safety reasons
the water bottle should be replaced with a new one.
Never use a bottle that has been deformed, miscolored or scratched.
Never put the bottle in the freezer.

Never inject gas into an empty water bottle
Keep the sparkling water maker away from children
Always use your sparkling water maker in an upright position
Using an empty water bottle may lead to a higher pressure in the
water bottle which could result in a safety risk.
Children are way too creative to use this product.
If used in other ways than standing in an upright position, dangerous levels of CO2 could
accumulate in the water bottle during carbonation.

CYLINDER GASKET TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPLACEMENT
User guide English
The rubber gasket inside the cylinder holder is a very important seal between the cylinder and
the machine. If this is missing, damaged or misplaced, the machine will not work properly.
Possible symptoms of a faulty or missing cylinder gasket could be:
1. Leaking sound from the cylinder compartment when pushing down the handle
2. Water drops in the cylinder compartment or freezing of the cylinder
3. Gas cylinder is running empty quickly
4. Gas cylinder is leaking gas when it is screwed into the machine, even though the lever is
horizontal.
Checking status of gasket
Unscrew the cylinder. Turn the Aarke machine up side down. Look into cylinder compartment.
Look if there is a black gasket (a black ring) around the brass pin and that it seems to be in place
correctly.
Replacing gasket
(See aarke.com for an illustrated instruction.)
1. The extra gasket is placed under the foot below the sticker with the text “Extra gasket”.
Remove the sticker and take out the rubber gasket.
2. Make sure that the CO2 cylinder is not installed in the machine. A few inches below the black
splitline there is a screw at the back of the machine. Unscrew it.
3. Grab the upper part of the machine and lift it out from the body.
4. Turn the upper part up side down and look into it. If needed, take out the old gasket with a
tweezer / nipper or a small screwdriver.
5. Put the new gasket into the circular hole and push it in place all around the hole.
6. Put the upper part back on the main body. Make sure you put it back straight and in the right
direction. Screw the screw at the back of the machine. Done!
