Congratulations to your new Aarke Carbonator.
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, affordable 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 effervescent
taste.
The Aarke Carbonator 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!

ATTACHING CYLINDER
DETACHING CYLINDER
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.

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.

Make sure the water bottle is
attached correctly, in complete
vertical position.
Release the lever back to
horizontal position. The
remaining pressure in the
water bottle will be released
with a puff sound.
To add more carbonation, repeat
the carbonation cycle a few times
before unscrewing the water
bottle.
Pull the lever downwards until
you hear a buzzing sound.

THE CARBONATION PROCESS

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR SODA WATER?
x 1 =
x 2 =
x 3 =
With the Aarke Carbonator 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.
We encourage you to experiment with the level of carbonation to find your
own preference. Some people want a real carbonation bite and some want a
milder effervescent (less bubbly) taste.
You will add more carbonation to the
water by repeating the carbonating
process.
The process will consume less gas if
you lift the lever half-ways (enough
to quiet the buzzing sound but
before relieving the pressure from
the bottle) between the carbonation
cycles.

DEGREE OF CARBONATION

Essences, syrups, fruits and infusions. There are virtually endless
possibilities to make carbonated water even more refreshing and inspiring.
Below is a quick and easy recipe for classic lemonade.
2dl sugar (or other sweetener such as agave syrup or cane sugar)
2dl water
2dl fresh lemon juice
Zest from 1/2 lemon
Put the water and the sugar into a pan and heat the mixture while stirring
until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Let the syrup cool a bit before pouring it into a suitable glass container with
a lid.
Add the lemon juice and the zest.
Mix 1 part syrup with about 3 parts of cool, carbonated water. First, add the
flavouring substance inte a glass or pitcher, then gently add the carbonated
water. Serve with lots of ice and a lemon slice.
The lemonade syrup can be stored in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

MAINTENANCE
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF
YOUR CARBONATOR.

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.

KEEPING YOUR CARBONATOR
BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN

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.
Letting the lever up more gently when the carbonation is finished, is
another way of preventing water from coming out into the tray.
Water accumulated in the spill
tray is simply removed with a
dish-cloth.

EMPTYING 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.

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WITH YOUR CARBONATOR

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Don’t carbonate wine!
We recommend buying
champagne.
Don’t put fruits,
vegetables or herbs in
the water bottle before
carbonating.
Don’t carbonate juice
or milk.
(Even if it is tempting)
Don’t put flavours
or syrup into the
water bottle before
carbonating.
Don’t carbonate
with ice in the water
bottle!
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.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
DO NOT CABONATE ANY LIQUIDS
OTHER THAN PLAIN WATER

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.
18
SAFETY GUIDELINES
NEVER CLEAN THE WATER BOTTLE
IN THE DISHWASHER

Don’t place the carbonator
in a sunny window.
Don’t place the carbonator
close to an open flame.
Don’t use the carbonator in
extreme hot conditions.
Don’t place the carbonator
close to a hot radiator.
Due to the laws of physics, the pressure in the gas cylinder depends on the
temperature. The Aarke Carbonator is optimized for using the gas cylinder
at room temperature. If the cylinder gets too hot, it could be dangerous to
use the machine.
