Other advice
Water in the drip tray
If the bottle is overfilled, excess water will be collected in the drip tray.
This is not wrong, but to avoid this, be sure to only fill up the bottle to
the filling line. To empty the drip tray use a clean dishcloth.
Clean the bottle
The bottle is durable enough to be washed in the dishwasher, but we recommend
washing it by hand to prolong its look. Before first time use, make sure to
wash the bottle with lukewarm water and mild detergent.
Clean the Carbonator
To prolong the look and performance of your Carbonator, use the included cloth
or a clean microfiber cloth to clean the Carbonator.
For Carbonators with a matte finish, we recommend a soft cloth and clean
water. For Carbonators in stainless steel, we recommend a microfiber cloth
moisturized with clean water and mild soap if needed. Avoid strong detergents
and abrasive household cleaners, this applies to all Carbonators. Avoid
bacteria and odor by keeping the bottle clean and storing it with the cap off.
Use cold water
For more efficient use of the CO2 it’s recommended to carbonate refrigerator
cold water
Protect your countertop
In some conditions water from condensation can arise on the CO2 canister. Make
sure to regularly wipe your countertop under your Carbonator Pro, to protect
the surface.
Recycling
The Carbonator and its associated items are designed and manufactured with
high quality materials and components which can be recycled and reused.
Seperate and recycle the parts according to local regulations.
Approved gas cylinders
The Carbonator is compatible with standard gas cylinders approved for use with
sparkling water machines from all major brands. Other gas cylinders may seem
to work, but could damage the machine or cause a safety risk. Make sure to use
gas cylinders with the following measure and weight:
CO2 gas cylinder
Ø ………….60 mm
Weight ……………..425 g
Troubleshooting guide
| Problem | Solutions |
|---|---|
| 1.When I push the Carbonator button, very little or no gas comes out. | Make |
sure you’re pushing the Carbonator button all the way down (without forcing
it).
Try screwing the gas cylinder in a bit tighter and try again (some older
cylinders need a little extra tightening).
Listen for a leaking sound when you push the Carbonator button —if you hear
one, refer to problem #3.
Check to see if the gas cylinder is empty.
2.Gas is flowing into the bottle when I push the Carbonator button,
but the water isn’t carbonated.| Make sure you’re pressing the Carbonator
button until you hear a buzzing sound, then release. Be sure to not release
until you hear the buzzing sound!
3.I hear a leaking sound when I push the
Carbonator button and very little gas is flowing into the bottle.| Try
screwing the cylinder in a bit tighter.
There may be an issue with the cylinder gasket. See “Cylinder gasket
troubleshooting”.

Cylinder gasket troubleshooting
The rubber gasket inside the Carbonator’s cylinder compartment is an important seal between the cylinder and the machine. If the gasket is missing, damaged, or misplaced, the machine will not work as intended. Symptoms of this could be:
- A leaking sound from the cylinder compartment when pressing the Carbonator button.
- Water droplets in the cylinder compartment or a frozen cylinder.
- The cylinder quickly runs out of gas.
- The cylinder is leaking gas when screwed into the machine, even when the button isn’t being pushed.
Checking the gasket
- Lay the Carbonator on its side and unscrew the cylinder.
- Look into the cylinder compartment. Check if there is a black ring around the brass pin. If not, continue to “Replacing the gasket”.
- If there is a black ring that is damaged or placed incorrectly, remove it and continue to “Replacing the gasket”.
Replacing the gasket
There is an extra gasket stored under the base of the machine, underneath a
sticker labeled “Extra Gasket.” Remove the sticker and take out the extra
gasket.
- Place the new gasket on the gas cylinder.
- Drag the Carbonator over the side of the table.
- Insert the cylinder and screw it in place. When the cylinder is removed the gasket will remain in place.
