USER LICENCE FOR ONE SODASTREAM CO2CYLINDER
NOT FOR SALE
PROPERTY OF SODA-CLUB (CO2) SA - UNDER LICENCE
This is a legally binding document between Soda-Club (CO2) SA of Switzerland or its
affiliates and the consumer regarding the right to use a Soda-Club/SodaStream CO2Cylinder
(the “CO2Cylinder”).
To protect users’ safety and health, various directives and regulations govern and
regulate the use, refilling, maintenance, retesting, and repair of carbon dioxide pressure
containers (CO2 Cylinders).
SodaStream possesses the legally required knowledge and expertise to be responsible
for strict legal compliance. This can only be guaranteed if the CO2Cylinders are mantained,
examined, retested, and refilled by SodaStream. Thus, each CO2Cylinder remains the
property of Soda-Club (CO2) SA, or its affiliates, and is provided under licence.
1. When empty, please return the CO2Cylinder to either SodaStream or an authorised
SodaStream retailer, either in exchange for a full CO2Cylinder, for the price of the
CO2 rell only, or for safe disposal. This Licence will continue to bind the use of each
subsequent CO2Cylinder.
2. Relling empty CO2Cylinders by third parties could be extremely risky. Unauthorised
relling might violate the law and SodaStream’s rights. SodaStream warrants the
safety only of CO2 Cylinders relled by it, bearing a SodaStream safety seal on
the valve.
3. If you return the CO2Cylinder to SodaStream or an authorised SodaStream
retailer, in good condition, without exchanging it for a full one, a return fee will be
payable to you. Contact your local SodaStream representative for details.
4. The CO2Cylinder, together with this User Licence, may be transferred to a
third party provided the third party agrees to be obligated by the conditions and
ownership rights expressed herein. Possession of the User Licence proves the right
of its holder to use one CO2Cylinder under the terms herein.
The laws of the country in which the SodaStream CO2Cylinder was supplied will govern
this licence.
For questions or comments, please contact SodaStream International BV, Provinciënbaan16,
5121 DL Rijen (NL).

TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT: Before you call for service, check the list of problems and solutions below:
1. Sparkling Beverage Maker does
not work:
• You might be out of CO2; replace your
CO2Cylinder by exchanging it for a
full SodaStream 60 L CO2Cylinder.
• Check that the carbonating bottle has
been lled up with water to the ll line.
• Ensure that the Sparkling Beverage Maker
is always in the upright position.
• CO2Cylinder may be loose. Do not use
tools. Detach the bottle, open the rear
cover, and retighten the CO2Cylinder.
Apply rm pressure but do not over
tighten. If the CO2Cylinder is already
rmly in place, it may be empty. Replace
with a full 60 L SodaStream CO2Cylinder.
WARNING: Use caution when removing
cylinder as it may be very cold.
2. Cannot pull bottle loader tab:
• Make sure Carbonation lever is in its fully
upward position.
• Pull bottle loader tab rmly towards you.
3. Cannot install the carbonating bottle:
• Make sure the carbonating lever is in its
fully upward position.
• Pull the bottle loader tab toward you
until it clicks.
• Insert bottle into Snap-Lock
• Push bottle up and back until it locks.
4. You hear CO2escaping from
the bottle during carbonation:
• Bottle may not be properly attached.
Allow the Sparkling Beverage Maker
to nish the carbonation process and
then you can detach the bottle and
reconnect it following the instructions
in the “Making sparkling water” section.
• It is normal to hear a small amount
of CO2discharge at the end of the
carbonating process.
5. You want to re-carbonate a drink
that was already carbonated:
WARNING: Never carbonate again
after you have added the flavour. You
may recarbonate only unflavoured
sparkling water.
6. If your Sparkling Beverage Maker
continues to release CO2after
carbonation is nished:
WARNING: Do not remove the cylinder
or the bottle. Leave the Sparkling Beverage
Maker in an upright position. Do not touch
it until you no longer hear CO2escaping.
When the Sparkling Beverage Maker is
no longer releasing CO2, remove the
carbonating bottle, and call for service.
See “Warranty and service” section for
more information.

TROUBLESHOOTING
7. You hear CO2escaping from
the Cylinder:
• There may be a pressure leak between
the CO2Cylinder holder and the valve.
Screw the CO2Cylinder tighter into
its tting. Do not use tools.
8. If you experience poor carbonation:
• If you have not yet added avour, try to
carbonate to a higher carbonation level.
• Check the CO2Cylinder. You might
be out of CO2.
• Make sure that you are carbonating
chilled water.
9. Water overows from the carbonating
bottle during carbonation:
• Check that the carbonating bottle is lled
just to the ll line.
• Verify that the carbonating bottle is rmly
installed in the Snap-Lock. Check by gently
pulling the bottom of the bottle. If it feels
loose, then remove and reinsert.
10. If your sparkling drink is not
avourful enough:
• Just add more avour to taste.
• Do not re-carbonate after adding
the avour.
11. Small pieces of ice appear in the
water during carbonation:
• This might happen when carbonating
very cold water. If this happens, shorten
the time of each press until the ice stops
appearing or it can affect the carbonation.
Any ice created will simply melt.
• Ice can form and restrict the ow of
CO2into the bottle during repeated
heavy carbonation. Allow a few minutes
between carbonating several bottles to
maintain normal carbonation time.
WARNING: If you suspect your
Sparkling Beverage Maker is damaged, stop
using it immediately and call for service.
See “Warranty and service” section for
more information.
12. The gauge is not working:
You may need to replace the batteries as
shown in the “Care and cleaning’” section.
