Sodastream FRESH™ PLUS User Manual 

  1. Fill the Carbonating Bottle with cold water up to the fill line.  
    WARNING! Do not carbonate anything other than water. Other liquids can contaminate and clog internal parts, potentially resulting in excessive pressure, bottle failure during carbonation, and serious injury. Never carbonate after flavoring has been added. 

     

  2. To insert the Carbonating Bottle tilt the carbonated head up and make sure that the Carbonating Bottle rest is angled forward.  
    WARNING! Never pull the carbonating tube or use a Sparkling Water Maker with a broken carbonating tube. This can cause excessive pressure, bottle failure and serious injury. Insert the Carbonating Bottle neck into the easy bottle attachment head. Push the Carbonating Bottle up and back. The easy click bottle system will hold the Carbonating Bottle. 

     

  3. To carbonate: push the carbonating lever in short 1 second presses; 3 presses for standard carbonation and 5 presses for strong carbonation  

     

  4. After carbonation is achieved, gently pull the Carbonating Bottle towards you until it reaches its fully forward position. This will release the pressure in the Carbonating Bottle and allow the Carbonating Bottle to be released from the easy click bottle system. 
    WARNING! Do not remove Carbonating Bottle until after hearing the sound of excess CO2 being released. Never force the Carbonating Bottle out of the easy click bottle system. Always allow the Sparkling Water Maker to release the Carbonating Bottle. If the Carbonating Bottle does not immediately release from the easy click bottle system, wait a few moments. If it still does not release, then push the Carbonating Bottle back into the vertical position and gently pull it towards you again. Attempting to remove the Carbonating Bottle while it is still pressurized can cause uncontrolled ejection of the Carbonating Bottle and may result in serious injury.  
    Note: when inserted correctly, there is a small gap between the bottom of the Carbonating Bottle and the base. Do not carbonate if the Carbonating Bottle is resting on the base, or water will splash out. 
    Note: Small pieces of ice may appear in the water during carbonation of very cold water that will simply melt.
