How The Soft Drink Machine Works
|
 |
1. Fill with cold water from the refrigerator
Open lid and fill to the bottom of built in cup to where the pouring hole is. It holds 10 ounces of water. If a little extra water gets poured in and the cup is up to 1/2 full, don't be concerned. This water in the filling cup will not get carbonated but will blend in with the rest of your drink and you will not know any difference in taste. However if you fill that cup to the brim this then will make a weak tasting drink and it is best to drain some water out by pressing the water release lever down before you carbonate. Use only refrigerator cold water. Never pour anything into the water chamber but water! All other ingredients always go into your cup. Close the lid. If you can not pour water into the machine because the water chamber is closed off, do not poke the water chamber open with anything! Instead press the water release lever down (step 3) to release the pressure and it will automatically open. |

2. Push twice to carbonate
Press raised knob on top down firmly until you can not push down any farther. Let go of the knob. Then press the knob once more holding it down until you hear the peak of the crescendo. Train your ear to properly carbonate. Learn to release the button at the peak of the crescendo just right as you hear the CO2 escape through the nose of the machine. Continuing to hold the button down will waist CO2. For heavier carbonation, after carbonating press the button down and quickly release it 1 to 4 additional times to make a super carbonated drink. For less carbonation in your drink, learn where on the crescendo to let go of the button so it is perfect for you. Once you have released the button after carbonating you may hear a slight release of CO2 hissing out of the nose or escaping out as you press the water release lever in the next step. Both of these releases are-normal. |

3. Put concentrate in glass, dispense … enjoy!
Hold the glass down on the ledge to the side of the drip tray under outlet nozzle at a slight angle so that the carbonated water will drop into the glass hitting its side. Straighten the glass up as it fills. This enables the water to enter the glass with a swirling motion and mix with the concentrate without having to stir the drink. |
