Introduction

  • Congratulations on your new AGA sparkling water maker. Now you can make delicious, refreshing carbonated water at home, and even flavour it with fruit or natural concentrates available from our retailers. One AGA carbon dioxide cylinder is enough for about 60 litres of carbonated water.
  • Before using the machine for the first time, you should read through the usage and safety instructions provided in this manual.
  • Please note that the guarantee for your sparkling water maker is only valid on condition that it has been treated with care and in compliance with these safety instruction

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 the carbonator.
  • Other bottles may seem to fit 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 fill 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.

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 transportation.
  • 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 transportation and frequent use, the cylinder can become cold and less efficient.
  • Avoid touching the cylinder if it is covered in ice.
  • We recommend that you only use 425 g gas cylinders filled by Linde Gas.
  • Do not tamper with or otherwise alter the design or shape of the gas cylinder.
  • If the gas cylinder breaks or becomes damaged, contact customer service on:

    • Finland +358 102 429 002

Safety instructions for the water bottle

  • Never fill water bottles with anything other than pure drinking water, and never carbonate any other fluids than water. If other fluids are carbonated, there is a serious danger that the fluid 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 fill 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 water 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 sparkling water maker on a flat surface and remove the back section by pressing the button on the back and pushing the back section first up and then out.AGA-EXCLUSIVE-Sparkling-Water-Maker-image-1

  • 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 firmly in place.
  • Slide the back section back into its guide grooves and push it down until the locking mechanism clicks back into place.

Removing the gas cylinder
Place the sparkling water maker on a flat surface and remove the back section by pressing the button on the back and then pushing the back section first up and then out. 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 overfilled, 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 firmly 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 first few times you use the machine, you will have to experiment until you find 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 briefly 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 flat.

  • Removing the water bottle
    Grasp the water bottle and turn it as shown until you feel it disengage. The bottle has a bayonet fitting 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
    Push the back of the strainer down gently so that it tilts upwards and is easier to remove. Lift it out and place it to one side. Hold the spill tray by the handle and bring it diagonally forwards to remove it. Empty the 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 40°C.
  •  Never use solvents or powerful cleaning agents.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible cause Remedy
The amount of gas in the water gradually drops The gas cylinder is empty

Replace the cylinder
The gas cylinder is too cold| Wait until the cylinder warms up
The spill tray quickly fills with water| The water bottle is overfull| Do not fill bottles above the maximum volume mark
The amount of gas in the water is low but your gas consumption is high| The washer on the cylinder holder is missing or leaking| Change the washer. New washers can be ordered from customer service

  • A hissing noise is coming from the back of the machine even when the button is released.
  • (Not to be confused with the hissing noise that occurs at every carbonation).

| There is a problem with the valve on the gas cylinder.| Leave the machine. Do not unscrew the water bottle or the gas cylinder. Open a nearby window and wait for at least 30 minutes. Make a product complaint for the gas cylinder at the place for purchase or at the manufacturer’s.
