Herbal-Infusions –
Herbs lend well to carbonated drinks.
We have recipes that use mint and basil, but
be creative and try your favorites, especially
when your herb garden is in full force!
A Sweet Finish –
Root beer and cola floats are delicious at
any age. Use our Winter Spice syrup over
vanilla ice cream for another frozen treat.
Strawberries and cream more your thing?
Pair strawberry syrup with soda water and
some vanilla ice cream. It is all about
preference, so keep trying until you find your
favourite.
For the after 5 o’clock crowd –
Let the Cuisinart Sparkling Beverage Maker
be a fixture on your bar at home. From fizzy
mojitos with a mint syrup to big bowls of
spritzy, wine punches, carbonated cocktails
make a statement.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Y
our Sparkling Beverage Maker isn’
t
carbonating water
Be sur
e it’
s in a fully upright position on a level surface.
Y
our cartridge may be empty
. Full and empty weights ar
e listed
on the cartridge.
Be sur
e your beverage bottle is filled to the water line.
CO
² is not coming out when I pr
ess the
lever
.
The cylinder could be out of gas. If so you can exchange your empty
cartridge for a r
efilled cartridge at participating r
etailers. Never thr
ow
away an empty cartridge.
The needle could be clogged.
I need to clean the carbonating needle
Using a cup of plain warm water immerse the needle into the water for
a few minutes. Gently pr
ess the lever to allow a small amount of gas
to enter the cup of warm water
. This should loosen any r
esidual syrup
residue.
The unit is continuing to make a hiss-
ing noise as if CO
² is leaking fr
om the
machine.
Call customer service at 1-800-472-7606.
The beverage bottle won’
t unscr
ew fr
om
the machine.
Tilt the bottle away fr
om the a machine to engage the pr
essur
e r
elief
valves.
My water is too lightly carbonated
Ideally (3) one-second buzzes should be suf
ficient carbonation. When
the unit buzzes while carbonating, it is signifying that you have r
eached
the optimal absorption of CO
2
. It is r
ecommended to make sur
e your
water is extra carbonated when adding flavour to carbonated water
.
W
ater fr
om the beverage bottle and made
a mess all over my countertop.
Make sur
e you only fill the water bottle to the water fill line.
Overfilling the bottle can r
esult in water getting drawn back
into the unit.
My bottle is overflowing.
Make sur
e you ar
e only carbonating water
.
Never add the flavor syrup befor
e carbonating.
Be sur
e to tilt the bottle of carbonated water at a 45 degr
ee angle while
slowing adding in the flavour
ed syrups. All of these things could cause
your bottle to overflow
.
I hear gas escaping, but it’
s not making
the “buzz” noise.
The water bottle might not be scr
ewed in tight enough.
Make sur
e to tur
n until firmly seated into the carbonating unit.
My beverage bottle has passed its
expiration date.
The bottle is designed to withstand many cycles of carbonating but
since nothing lasts for
ever its best to ensur
e that the bottle is not used
indefinitely
. As the expiration date appr
oaches new bottles should be
pur
chased to r
eplace the curr
ent beverage bottles
I need to r
efill my CO
² cartridge.
Never attempt to r
efill a cartridge yourself. It must be r
efilled by an
authorized Cuisinart r
etailer
. Please bring your empty cartridge to a
participating r
etailer to exchange it for a full one.
