• Sodastream FOUNTAIN™ sparkling drink maker User Manual

Check out the 'How-To' use video and the following steps:

1. Check you have completed these steps:
   • Install Quick Connect CO2 Cylinder
   • Fill with cold water and install the water tank
   • Install the flavor bottle
     
     Please note – The sodastream FOUNTAIN™ Sparkling Drink Make will turn to a ‘sleep mode’ after 10 minutes of being inactive. To turn it on, press any button and proceed with the following steps:
      
2. Select a drink size by pressing the Drink Size Button repeatedly until the light indicator lands on your desired selection.
   Select Drink Size*:
   S – 8oz (236ml)
   M – 16oz (473ml)
   L – 24oz (710ml)
   
   Please Note:
   • "S” is the default size until you change it, and then the machine will remember your choice.
     The “M” and “L” sizes are being made in cycles, which means the machine will pull 8oz of water from water tank, fizz them, dispense to the glass, and then will pull another 8oz from the water tank (for “M” size), fizz them and dispense them into the glass (for "L" size, it's 3 cycles: 8+8+8 oz.).

   • We recommend testing first with "S" size and see how it fits the glass you are using (for most glasses 8oz + ice is enough).

     * The listed dosages are intended as targets and may vary depending on differences between individual units. Based on recommended serving size = dosing stage 4 (classic soda dose).
