Frequently Asked Questions - Premium AARKE

How do I attach a CO2 cylinder to the Aarke Premium Carbonator?

Remove the spill tray grid, lay the carbonator on its side with the lever up. Unscrew the plastic seal from the cylinder top, insert the cylinder through the bottom hole, and screw clockwise until fastened. Do not overtighten.

What should I do if there is water in the spill tray?

Water in the spill tray usually means the water bottle is overfilled. Ensure the water level does not exceed the marked filling line. Also, release the lever gently after carbonation.

Can I carbonate juice or other liquids?

No. Only carbonate plain, cold water. Juices, milk, wine, or flavored liquids can cause valve malfunction and safety risks.

How do I clean the water bottle?

Rinse with lukewarm water and mild detergent. Use a soft brush for plastic bottles. Never clean in a dishwasher or exceed 40°C.

How do I adjust the carbonation level?

Repeat the carbonation cycle (pull lever down until buzzing, release) to add more bubbles. For less gas consumption, lift the lever halfway between cycles.

What type of CO2 cylinder does the Aarke Premium use?

It is compatible with standard CO2 cylinders approved for carbonators from major brands. Cylinder is not included.

Why does my carbonated water lose fizz quickly?

Possible causes: the gas cylinder is low or too cold. Replace the cylinder or let it warm to room temperature. Also ensure the water bottle is not overfilled.

Can I put ice or fruit in the water bottle before carbonating?

No. Do not add ice, fruit, or flavorings to the water bottle. Add them to your glass after carbonating.

How do I safely transport the carbonator?

Always unscrew and remove the gas cylinder before transporting.

What is the warranty period for the Aarke Premium Carbonator?

Aarke offers a 2-year warranty (or as per local law) for faults due to workmanship or materials, provided the product is used as intended.

Congratulations to your new Aarke Carbonator.

A few minutes spent on reading this book will enable you to get the very best out of this excellent soda maker. Carbonating water at home is convenient, affordable and environmentally friendly. The other advantage with a carbonator over bottled mineral water is that you can choose your own level of carbonation. You will soon get to know your carbonator and learn how you should operate it to get the perfect level of carbonation. Some people like a real carbonation bite and some want a milder effervescent taste.

The Aarke Carbonator is carefully crafted in the finest materials, designed and tested for best possible quality and safety. However, products that include gas and high pressures should always be handled with care. It is, therefore, important that the product is used as intended. Please read through the safety section of this book carefully before using it.

Welcome to Aarke!

GETTING STARTED

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR CARBONATOR

1

GETTING STARTED

ATTACHING THE GAS CYLINDER

ATTACHING CYLINDER

Remove the spill tray grid and then carefully lay the carbonator down on the side with the lever upwards.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with cylindrical components and a perforated base plate (no text or symbols)

Unscrew the plastic sealing from the cylinder top. Carefully insert the gas cylinder through the hole at the bottom. Don't drop the cylinder into the hole. When you feel that it reaches the bottom, begin screwing the cylinder clockwise until it is fastened. Don't screw too hard since this might break the threads holding the gas cylinder in place.

DETACHING CYLINDER

When you need to replace the gas cylinder, lay the carbonator down on the side with the lever pointing up and unscrew it counterclockwise and then carefully pull it out of the compartment.

GETTING STARTED

THE CARBONATION PROCESS

1. FILL THE WATER BOTTLE

Rinse the water bottle with luke warm water before you use it for the first time.

Fill the water bottle with cold, clean water up to the marked filling line. If you fill too much you will get a lot of water in the spill tray during carbonation.

2. ATTACH THE WATER BOTTLE

Screw the water bottle into the water bottle socket.

Screw counterclockwise if viewed from above.

Don't screw extremely hard - just make sure the water bottle sits properly.

3. CORRECTLY ATTACHED BOTTLE

Make sure the water bottle is attached correctly, in complete vertical position.

4. CARBONATE

Pull the lever downwards until you hear a buzzing sound.

5. VENTILATE 6. MORE CARBONATION

Release the lever back to horizontal position. The remaining pressure in the water bottle will be released with a puff sound.

To add more carbonation, repeat the carbonation cycle a few times before unscrewing the water bottle.

GETTING STARTED

DEGREE OF CARBONATION

With the Aarke Carbonator you can easily learn how to adjust the degree of carbonation, or, how much bubbles you want.

The level of carbonation depends on many factors such as the temperature of the water and the amount of gas in the gas cylinder.

We encourage you to experiment with the level of carbonation to find your own preference. Some people want a real carbonation bite and some want a milder effervescent (less bubbly) taste.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR SODA WATER?

You will add more carbonation to the water by repeating the carbonating process.

The process will consume less gas if you lift the lever half-ways (enough to quiet the buzzing sound but before relieving the pressure from the bottle) between the carbonation cycles.

GETTING STARTED

FLAVORING THE WATER

Simple line drawing of a lemon slice (no text or symbols)

Essences, syrups, fruits and infusions. There are virtually endless possibilities to make carbonated water even more refreshing and inspiring. Below is a quick and easy recipe for classic lemonade.

CLASSIC LEMONADE

2dl sugar (or other sweetener such as agave syrup or cane sugar)

2dl water

2dl fresh lemon juice

Zest from 1/2 lemon

Put the water and the sugar into a pan and heat the mixture while stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Let the syrup cool a bit before pouring it into a suitable glass container with a lid.

Add the lemon juice and the zest.

Mix 1 part syrup with about 3 parts of cool, carbonated water. First, add the flavouring substance into a glass or pitcher, then gently add the carbonated water. Serve with lots of ice and a lemon slice.

The lemonade syrup can be stored in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

MAINTENANCE

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CARBONATOR

1

MAINTENANCE

KEEPING YOUR CARBONATOR BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN

POLISHED VERSION

This carbonator is made of polished stainless steel. Stainless steel gets its lustre from the chrome and its stainless quality from the nickel. Adhering to the maintenance tips will ensure that you enjoy (the look of) your Aarke Carbonator for a long time.

To clean your carbonator we recommend using a micro fibre cloth and water. If needed you could use some mild soap. Do not use strong detergents or cleanser with abrasive substance.

LACQUERED VERSION

The lacquered Aarke Carbonators are made of polished stainless steel that have been industrially painted in various colours and finishes.

To clean your glossy lacquered Aarke Carbonator we recommend using a micro fibre cloth and water. If needed you could use some mild soap.

To clean you matte lacquered Aarke Carbonator we recommend using a soft cloth or sponge and water. If needed you could use some mild soap.

Never use strong detergents or cleanser with abrasive substance.

MAINTENANCE

EMPTYING THE SPILL TRAY

Water accumulated in the spill tray is simply removed with a dish-cloth.

WHY IS THERE WATER IN THE SPILL TRAY?

Water that flushes through the machine during the carbonating process ends up in the spill tray. This is often a result of too much water in the water bottle. Make sure the water is not filled above the filling line.

Letting the lever up more gently when the carbonation is finished, is another way of preventing water from coming out into the tray.

MAINTENANCE

RINSING THE WATER BOTTLE

Line drawing of a Darke water bottle, a brush holder, and a small container (no text or symbols)

To clean the Aarke water bottle use clean lukewarm water with a mild detergent. If using a dishwasher brush, make sure the brush is intended to be used for cleaning plastic bottles and do not leave any scratches.

Do not use solvents, strong detergents or cleanser with abrasive substances.

Never wash the Aarke water bottles in a dishwasher. The Aarke water bottles can withstand a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WITH YOUR CARBONATOR

SAFETY GUIDELINES

DO NOT CABONATE ANY LIQUIDS OTHER THAN PLAIN WATER

When carbonating, a small amount of liquid could bubble up through the valves. If the water contains sugar or other compounds the valves could start malfunction and the product could potentially be dangerous to use. Never add fruit slices, ice and flavours in the water bottle. Use a pitcher or mix it directly in your glass. Rinse the water bottle carefully before filling it with water.

Don't put fruits, vegetables or herbs in the water bottle before carbonating.

Don't put flavours or syrup into the water bottle before carbonating.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

NEVER CLEAN THE WATER BOTTLE IN THE DISHWASHER

The water bottle is designed to withstand pressures up to double the working pressure of the carbonator. However, this ability is quickly destroyed if the bottle is exposed to heat above 40 degrees Celsius. Most dishwashers operate at very high temperatures so therefore never put the bottle in the dishwasher.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

KEEP THE CARBONATOR AWAY FROM POTENTIAL SOURCES OF HEAT

Due to the laws of physics, the pressure in the gas cylinder depends on the temperature. The Aarke Carbonator is optimized for using the gas cylinder at room temperature. If the cylinder gets too hot, it could be dangerous to use the machine.
