AQUA FIZZ™ OVERVIEW
WHAT’S INSIDE
The package includes the SodaStream® AQUA FIZZ™ Sparkling Water Maker,
SodaStream® CO2 Cylinder and a reusable dishwasher safe glass carafe
carbonating bottle with fizz-preserving cap.
Includes a 60 L SodaStream® CO, Cylinder (under license). Once empty, the 60 L
SodaStream® Cylinder can be exchanged for a full 60 L SodaStream® Cylinder for
the price of the gas only. A 60 L SodaStream® Cylinder makes up to 60 L of
sparkling water depending on the level of carbonation and type of Sparkling
Water Maker used.
INSTALLING THE CO2 CYLINDER
- Place the AQUA FIZZ™ Sparkling Water Maker on a flat sturdy surface in an upright position. Remove the glass carafe if it is installed in the Sparkling Water Maker. Never insert or replace the cylinder while a glass carafe is installed in the Sparkling Water Maker. Turn the flask lever to the right to the unlocked position. The carbonating head will rise automatically.
- Tilt the glass carafe flask forward and remove the glass carafe.
- Return the glass carafe flask to the upright position, push and hold the carbonating head down and turn the flask lever left, to the locked position.
- Press the rear cover release button downwards and remove the back cover.
- Remove seal and cap from the SodaStream CO2 cylinder. Insert the cylinder into the cylinder holder situated on the underside of the carbonating button and screw to the right while applying gentle pressure until it is firmly held in place. Hand-tighten only; DO NOT use tools.
- Replace the back cover so that it clicks into place. Now you are ready to create the bubbles.
CREATE THE BUBBLES
-
Fill the glass carafe with cold water up to the fill line indicated on the glass carafe.
-
Place the AQUA FIZZ™ Sparkling Water Maker on a flat sturdy surface in an upright position. Turn the flask lever to the right to the unlocked position. The carbonating head will rise automatically. Tilt the glass carafe flask forward and insert the glass carafe. Return the glass carafe flask to the upright position. Push the carbonating head down being careful to ensure that the carbonating tube goes inside the glass carafe. If the carbonating tube is outside the glass carafe, it can become bent or broken when the flask is closed and it will not carbonate the water. Hold the carbonating head down and turn the flask lever left, to the locked position.
-
Push down firmly on the carbonating button for around two seconds, release and repeat. Repeat 3 times for light fizz, 5 times for strong fizz, and more for extra strong fizz. You will hear a buzz sound after the third press. It is normal to hear a buzz sound with each additional press which is the normal sound of pressure being released.
DO NOT CONTINUE PRESSING AFTER HEARING FIVE BUZZES.
-
When the desired level of carbonation is achieved, turn the flask lever to the right to the unlocked position until the carbonating head starts to rise. This will release all the pressure in the bottle and excess gas will be heard being released as the flask lever is unlocked.
-
Tilt the glass carafe flask forward and remove the glass carafe from the Sparkling Water Maker. Enjoy your sparkling water or add your preferred SodaStream Sparkling Drink Mix flavor to enjoy a sparkling flavored beverage!
FLAVOR YOUR WAY!
For sparkling drink mixes: After making sparkling water hold the open glass
carafe at an angle and slowly add the desired flavor by pouring it slowly and
carefully down the inside wall of the carafe. Close with the fizz-preserving
cap and tighten, then mix with a gentle shake. Enjoy!
ONLY CARBONATE WATER.
NEVER CARBONATE AFTER FLAVOR HAS BEEN ADDED.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Any and all claims, complaints, demands for judgment or legal actions brought
hereunder relating in any way to your Sparkling Water Maker shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the local laws of the country in which
the SodaStream Sparkling Water Maker was purchased and in the US will be
subject to binding arbitration as set out under the heading “Dispute
Resolution by Binding Arbitration”.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
- Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any SodaStream product including, but not limited to, claims of personal injury and/or property damage, shall be submitted to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance to its then existing Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 800.778.7879.
- The Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the U.S. Code) shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings relating to this arbitration.
- Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. It uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle their disputes.
- Any claim shall be brought only in the party’s individual capacity, and shall not in any case be brought by the party as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
- A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to SodaStream should be addressed to SodaStream ‘s Corporate Office set out on www.sodastreamusa.com (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If an agreement to resolve the claim is not reached within 30 days after the Notice is received, any party may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by a party shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
- There shall be one arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration provision or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim.
- The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on all parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
