APERÇU

Thank you for choosing the sodaTRIO, the first BRITA soda maker being compatible with three different kinds of bottles: a glass bottle for the dining table, a plastic bottle for universal use and an insulated stainless steel bottle in two different sizes for on-the-go. With this product, you can turn fresh drinking water into sparkling water in an instant. Making your own sparkling water is simple, cost-effective and environment-friendly. What's more, you can adjust how fizzy you want your water to be. With one BRITA CO _2 cylinder you can make up to 60 litres of sparkling water. The exact quantity may vary, depending on how much fizz you prefer. The sodaTRIO is made of high-quality materials and undergoes regular product safety and quality testing. Soda makers operate with high gas pressure levels so it is important that the included safety instructions are respected.

Correct use

The soda maker is intended for personal use and by adults only. It is intended for use only to infuse drinking water with carbon dioxide, without any further additives. It should not be used for carbonating pre-flavoured soft drinks, juices, alcoholic drinks, or any drinks which have additives such as syrups or effervescent tablets added. Any use beyond the intended purpose are considered as misuse. BRITA shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused by misuse.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

What liquids can I carbonate?

The sodaTRIO must only be used with drinking water provided by waterworks and which complies accordingly with the legal requirements for drinking water quality. For an even better taste experience, we advise to use BRITA filtered water for carbonation. Water is a perishable food and as such, you should always consume it within two days. In the event that public authorities require the mains water to be boiled, you must also boil the water before carbonation. After boiling, the water must be cooled before pouring it into the bottle. You must only carbonate still drinking water. Other drinks, such as juices, soft drinks or tap water containing syrups may cause damage to the appliance or lead to adverse health effects.

Bottles

Please only use original BRITA sodaTRIO bottles (glass, plastic or stainless steel) with the sodaTRIO. Bottles of other manufacturers as well as the BRITA sodaONE PET bottle are not compatible and therefore pose a safety risk. BRITA shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused by misuse.

GLASS 1 L PLASTIC 1.2 L STEEL 1 L STEEL 0.65 L

The following instructions apply to all BRITA sodaTRIO bottles (glass, plastic and stainless steel):

- All sodaTRIO bottles incl. lids are dishwasher safe.

- Bottles have to be put into the dishwasher or must be cleaned by hand using only mild detergent, before using them for the first time. Further, it is recommended clean the bottles on a regular basis.

- When using a brush (e.g. made of silicon), make sure it is suitable for cleaning glass, plastic and stainless steel bottles and must not have any exposed metal components, that could leave scratches on the surface or the inside of the bottle.

• Water in the sodaTRIO bottles must not be carbonated by children.

- Before every use, check the sodaTRIO bottles for cracks or distortions. Damaged bottles must not be used!

- The bottles must only be filled up to the specified filling level.

- In regular use, all bottles are only suitable for temperatures between 5°C and 40°C. In the dishwasher, rinsing programs must not exceed 55°C.

- Do not put the bottles in the freezer or microwave.

- Do not expose the soda TRIO bottles to large temperature fluctuations (e.g. do not pour hot water into a cold bottle or vice versa).

• Always store the empty sodaTRIO bottles with the lid removed.

- Do not leave the soda TRIO bottles in the car.

- Dropping a glass bottle filled with carbonated water can lead to cracks in the glass and possibly cause the bottle to burst. Therefore, check with special care and dispose the bottle if necessary.

- High pressure is created inside the bottle during carbonation, and for safety reasons, sodaTRIO plastic bottles must be replaced no later than 24 months after purchase. This does not apply to sodaTRIO glass bottles and stainless steel bottles.

- Important: If a sodaTRIO glass bottle is unexpectedly damaged during the sparkling process (e.g. burst or break), please do not use the sodaTRIO anymore due to potential risk of splinters. Carefully unscrew and empty the container and contact the BRITA customer service to prepare a return delivery of the soda maker to BRITA.

Using CO _2 safely

WARNING!

•TheBRITA sodaTRIO can be operated with standard 425 g CO 2 cylinders with universal screw-in valve, but it is recommended using original BRITA CO 2 cylinders.

- Do not use larger or smaller CQ cylinders under any circumstances.

- Always use the soda maker with bottles filled up to the filling line! Never fill an empty bottle with CO_2 .

- CO_2 cylinders may be very cold after use. Please wait for 10 minutes after your last use before changing the cylinder.

- When storing, CO₂ cylinders can be placed vertically or horizontally, but be sure that they are prevented from rolling or falling. For safety reasons, the cylinder must never hit the floor with the valve upfront in order to avoid its damage which could cause a potential gas leak. When operating, always place CO₂ cylinders in an upright position.

• Full CO cylinders must never be exposed to direct sunlight or temperatures above 50°C.

- Store CO cylinders, whether full or empty, out of reach of children.

- CO_2 is a colourless, odourless gas. There is a danger of suffocation in situations with high concentrations and poor ventilation.

- If you suspect increased CQ concentration in a room, ventilate and leave the area.

- Damaged CO_2 cylinders should not be used and must be exchanged without delay!

- In cases of improper use, the pressure inside a CO_2 cylinder can cause serious and even fatal injuries.

- Never attempt to fill the CO cylinder yourself.

- Do not make any alterations to the CQ cylinder, such as piercing it, etc.

- Do not insert or replace a CQ cylinder in the sodaTRIO if a sodaTRIO bottle is still inserted.

3. Use

Select a suitable location for the BRITA sodaTRIO on a flat, stable surface away from heat sources or open flames, such as stoves or ovens. The soda maker must not be operated above 40^ C.

Always use the soda maker in an upright position.

Before use, make sure that the bottle and soda maker are in a clean condition.

Installing the CO₂ cylinder and the soda maker

Caution: the sodaTRIO is only compatible with CO_2 cylinders with universal screw-in valve. Other cylinders (e.g. with quick connect valve) are not compatible.

If the container is attached to the system, please remove it from the soda maker.

Remove the drip tray grid and place the soda maker on its side.

1 Remove the seal on the CO₂ cylinder head and unscrew the valve cover.
2 Slide the cylinder carefully into the body from the bottom. As soon as the cylinder gets in contact with the end, turn it in a clockwise direction. Screw in cylinder tightly, but not too tightly, as this may cause damage to the system or the cylinder itself.

To remove an empty cylinder, reverse the procedure used to install the cylinder, ensuring that you unscrew it in an anti-clockwise direction.

3 Screw the nozzle into the thread provided on the sodaTRIO.
4 Place the sodaTRIO in an upright position and insert the drip tray grid.

TIP

To enjoy an even better sparkling water experience, fill the bottles with fridge-chilled, filtered water from a BRITA water filter jug.

2 In case of using the sodaTRIO glass bottle, the plastic or big stainless steel bottle: put the filled bottle into the container. In case of using the sodaTRIO small stainless steel bottle: first put the bottle base into the container, after that put the filled bottle into the container.

Individually-adjusted fizziness

With the sodaTRIO, you can individually adjust the fizziness of your water:

• A short press of the sparkling button (approx. 1 second) will give you slightly fizzy water.
• For medium fizziness, press the button down for approx. 2 seconds.
• For extra-fizzy water, keep the sparkling button pressed down until you can hear a clear buzzing sound (approx. 3 seconds).

By repeating this procedure you can add even more fizziness to your water.

4. Cleaning the sodaTRIO and the bottles

To ensure your sodaTRIO gives you years of satisfaction, regular cleaning of the soda maker and the bottles is recommended.

Cleaning the soda maker:

Remove container, bottle base, nozzle and drip tray grid. Clean all parts using only mild detergent and lukewarm water. Please do not put the container, the bottle base,

the nozzle and the drip tray grid into the dishwasher. As a result of the sparkling process, excess water may accumulate in the drip tray. Please ensure the drip tray is regularly emptied and cleaned.

Please always store the soda maker with the container being unscrewed.

Cleaning the sodaTRIO bottles (glass, plastic and stainless steel bottles):

All sodaTRIO bottles are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, clean them using only mild detergent and lukewarm water. When using a brush, make sure it is suitable for cleaning glass, plastic and stainless steel bottles and must not have any exposed metal components, that could leave scratches on the surface or the inside of the bottle. Especially, if you have stronger soilings, such as syrup residues or other additionals in the bottle, it is very important to clean the bottles before using them for the next time.

Please also clean the bottle lid and the sealing on a regular basis putting it into the dishwasher or using mild detergent and lukewarm water. For these purposes, the sealing in the lid of the glass and the plastic bottle can be removed. Color changes may occur, if the lid comes into contact with food residues in the dishwasher. We recommend always using clean water to clean bottles and lids.

5. Troubleshooting

Problem Potential solution
Only a small amount of CO2, or none at all, reaches the water bottle.	Make sure, that a full CO2 cylinder has been installed before.
	Make sure, that the bottle is filled with drinking water up to the marked filling line.
	Make sure that you fully press down the sparkling button.
	Keep the sparkling button pressed down until you hear a clear buzzing sound (2-3 seconds). Do not release the button until you hear the buzzing sound.
	Check if the CO2 cylinder is properly screwed in.
	The cylinder has run out of CO2 and needs replacing.
	If you are using the small stainless steel bottle, make sure that you have inserted the bottle base before.
Droplets of water are visible on the cylinder slot.	Try to screw in the CO2 cylinder bit more tightly.
CO2 is escaping, but I am not pressing the sparkling button button.	Remove the cylinder and screw it in again.
The cylinder gets extremely cold / freezes up.	Remove the cylinder. Check if there is a black rubber gasket inside the cylinder bracket and if it is properly centred. If the rubber gasket is missing, please contact BRITA customer service.
The container can not be screwed in properly into the soda maker.	Make sure, that the bottle is inserted properly into the container.
	Make sure, that you have screwed in the container into the system with the nozzle centered in the upper part of the bottle.
After sparkling, there are small pieces of ice in the water.	No worries, this can occur with strong sparkling of very cold water and is not a defect.
