General safety instructions
• Nevertransportthesparklingwatermakerwiththegascylinderattachedto
themachine.Alwaysmakesurethatthegascylinderhasbeenfullydetached
beforetransportation.
• Keepthesparklingwatermakeroutofthereachofchildren.
• Never place the sparkling water maker close to a source of heat, such as a hob
oraradiator,andkeepitoutofdirectsunlight.
• Onlyuse425ggascylindersandPETbottlesthatareapprovedforthis
sparklingwatermaker.Otherbottlesmayseemtotbutcouldreducethe
function,damagethemachineorcauseasafetyrisk.
• Neverpressthegasbuttonbeforeattachingawaterbottle.
• Neverinjectgasintoanemptywaterbottle.
• Neverllawaterbottleabovethemaximumvolumemark.
• Nevertrytouseyoursparklingwatermakerwhenitisbrokenordamaged,as
doingsocanbedangerous.
• Important!Afaultthatmightoccur,evenifveryuncommon,isthatthevalveon
thegascylindergetsstuck.Inwhichcasetherewillbeacontinuoushissingnoise
onthebacksideofthemachineevenwhenthebuttonisreleased.Thenoise
should not be confused with the hissing noise from the over pressure valve that
occursateverycarbonation.Leaveboththewaterbottleandthegascylinderin
themachine,openanearbywindowandwaitforatleast30minutesforallthe
gastobeevacuatedfromthegascylinder.Makeaproductcomplaintforthegas
cylinderattheplaceforpurchaseoratthemanufacturer’s.
• Ifyoursparklingwatermakerbreaksormalfunctions,donottrytorepairoropen
themachineyourself.Contactthestorewhereyouboughtthemachine.

Safety instructions for the gas cylinder
• Nevertransportthegascylinderwhenattachedtothesparklingwatermaker.
Alwaysmakesurethatthegascylinderhasbeenfullydetachedbeforetranspor-
tation.
• Donotstorethecylinderclosetoasourceofheat,suchasahoboraradiator,
andkeepitoutofdirectsunlight.
• Keepthecylinderoutofthereachofchildren.
• Thegascylindermustonlybeusedwhenatroomtemperature.Aftertranspor-
tationandfrequentuse,thecylindercanbecomecoldandlessefcient.Avoid
touchingthecylinderifitiscoveredinice.
• Werecommendthatyouonlyuse425gAQVIAgascylinders.
• Donottamperwithorotherwisealterthedesignorshapeofthegascylinder.
• Ifthegascylinderbreaksorbecomesdamaged,contactthestorewhereyou
boughtthegascylinder.
Safety instructions for the water bottle
• Neverllwaterbottleswithanythingotherthanpuredrinkingwater,andnever
carbonateanyotheruidsthanwater.Ifotheruidsarecarbonated,thereisa
seriousdangerthattheuidwillleakintothemachine,andthatadditivessuch
assugarwillcausethepressurereliefvalvestostick.Ifthereliefvalvesstop
working,themachinewillnotbesafetouse.
• Neverllthebottleabovethemaximumvolumemark;ifyoudo,watercanenter
themachineandspurtoutthroughthepressurereliefvalves.
• Thewaterbottlescanwithstandwatertemperaturesupto40°C.Thebottlesmust
thereforebewashedonlyinwarmwaterandneverinadishwasher.
• Neverfreezethewaterbottles.
• Neverusewaterbottlesthathaveexceededtheiruse-bydate,asthisposesa
safetyhazard.Use-bydatesareprintedonthebottles.
• Neverusediscoloured,deformedorcrackedwaterbottles.
• Toavoidthebuildupofbacteriainthebottle,alwaysmakesuretorinseit
thoroughlybeforeuse.
• Neverdrinkstraightfromthebottle.
• OnlyuseAQVIAPETbottles.

Using the sparkling water maker
Your new sparkling water maker enables you to carbonate your own water, which
you can then flavour with AGA concentrates. To carbonate your own water, you
need the AGA 425 g carbon dioxide gas cylinder. When the cylinder is empty, a
replacement can be bought from the store where you made your original purchase
and the old bottle returned for deposit.
Inserting the gas cylinder
Remove the seal and the protective cap from the cylinder. Keep the cap in a safe
place as it will be needed when you replace the cylinder when empty. Place the
carbonator on a at surface and remove the back cover of the machine: hold in the
catches on the side and angle the cover backwards and then lift it upwards.
Tilt the sparkling water maker forwards and insert the gas cylinder through the
opening in the bottom of the machine so that the cylinder is standing on the work
surface. Gently tilt the sparkling water maker back so that the upper part of the
machine rests against the threaded neck of the cylinder.
Screw the cylinder into the machine as far as
it will go (see illustration), at which point the
sparkling water maker will have returned to
its original resting position. Make sure that
the cylinder is rmly in place.
Now replace the back cover by inserting the
bottom lip into the hole in the base and then
angling the cover forward carefully until you
hear a click from the catches.

Removing the gas cylinder
Place the carbonator on a at surface and remove the back cover of the machine:
hold in the catches on the side and angle the cover backwards and then lift it
upwards. Unscrew the cylinder, at which point the sparkling water maker will tip
forwards slightly. Tilt the sparkling water maker a little further forwards and lift out
the cylinder.
Filling the water bottle
Clean the bottle before use. Do not use water
hotter than 40°C. Fill the bottle with cold water
up to the maximum volume mark. If the bottle is
overlled, water can enter the machine and leak
out. For best results, use cold water; the colder
the water, the greater the volume of gas that can
be dissolved. It is therefore a good idea to store
an extra bottle of water in the fridge. Make sure,
however, not to keep the water for too long in
the bottle as it might become stale.
Important! Never carbonate anything other than pure drinking water, as sugar
or other additives might cause the pressure relief valves to stick, rendering the
machine unsafe to use.

Attaching the water bottle
Remove the lid from the water bottle. Position the
bottle so that the gas tube protrudes into the water
and then push the bottle up as far as it will go. Turn
the bottle as shown in the illustration until you feel
it engage. Make sure that the water bottle is rmly in
place before use.
Carbonating water
Important! Never carbonate anything other than pure drinking water, as sugar
or other additives might cause the pressure relief valves to stick, rendering the
machine unsafe to use.
The degree of carbonation is a matter of personal
taste, so for the rst few times you use the machine,
you will have to experiment until you nd the degree
of carbonation that is right for you.
To carbonate the water, press the button and keep it
pressed for 3-4 seconds or until you hear a hiss as the
pressure relief valve opens. Depending on the water
temperature, this will give you a normal degree of
carbonation.
You can add more gas as desired by pressing the
button again briey once or twice. Release the button
and wait until you hear another hiss as any excess
pressure is discharged and the water bottle is vented.
Unscrew the water bottle and enjoy your carbonated water. Store the water in
a cool place with the lid tightly screwed on to prevent the water going at.

Removing the water bottle
Grasp the water bottle and turn it as shown until you feel
it disengage. The bottle has a bayonet tting and should
click slightly as it does so.
Flavour your carbonated water
Flavour your carbonated water with fruit or AGA essences or sodas. Please carefully
read the instructions on the bottles and pour the right amount of essence in a glass
or a pitcher, and then add the carbonated water.
Emptying the spill tray
Wipe out the drip tray as required. Check that there is no
water under the machine. If the PET bottle is lled above
the max mark, the surplus water may run down the front
of the machine and into the drip tray.
Maintenance and cleaning
• To clean your sparkling water maker , wipe it with a damp cloth. A mild
cleaningagent may also be used.
• Clean water bottles in warm water with a mild detergent and rinse well.
Store empty bottles with their lids off.
• Never wash water bottles in a dishwasher. Water bottles can only withstand
amaximum water temperature of 40oC.
