gauge and/or the pressure relief valve within the unit is normal.
9.
Dispense sparkling water from the tap for 10-15 seconds and allow the tank to
refill for approximately 1 minute. Repeat this process 1-3 more times or until
water carbonation is evident.
Note:
The pressure on the CO
2
gauge should fluctuate between 3-4 Bar during
this process and during normal operation.
10.
Allow 1-2 hours for the water to chill and to reach full carbonation.
