iSi Soda Siphon User manual

iSi Soda Siphon
Best Practice & Trouble Shooting Suggestions
Best Practice for Usage:
1. Starting with an empty bottle push the measuring tube into the bottle until it stops.
The measuring tube must go into the bottle before water is added to insure
the correct pressure between gas and water.
2. Hold the bottle upright and fill with cold water to the very top of the bottle.
Cold water works best with CO2. Warm water will result in much less carbonation.
3. Insert riser tube with attached gasket into the bottle through the measuring tube until it rests flat. The
riser tube is extra long because it is meant to extend into the bottom sides of the bottle.
4. Placing your thumb on the outside of the spout and index finger on the piercing mechanism screw the
head onto the bottle very tightly making sure that the threads are linked properly.
5. Insert 1 iSi soda charger into the charger holder –piercing tip facing up.
6. Screw the charger holder with the inserted iSi soda charger onto the head until you hear all of the gas
dispense into the siphon. The siphon is now pressurized.
7. Shake the siphon vigorously at least 5 times.
8. Unscrew the charger holder and recycle the empty soda charger.
A slight hiss may be heard when removing the charger holder, this is normal.
9. Cover the piercing mechanism with the dust cap.
10. Hold upright press the lever to serve the soda water. Direct the stream to the internal wall of the
drinking glass.
11. Shake the soda siphon at intervals to continuously mix gas and water for best carbonation results.
12. Always empty the bottle of contents and gas pressure before unscrewing the head.
