CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Use any liquid dishwashing detergent. DO
NOT use any product containing ammonia
or scouring powders, as these could dull,
scratch or mar the unit and its contents.
Maintaining your Sparkling Beverage
Maker
• Do not immerse the unit housing in water
or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping
with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel.
• Do not position or store your Sparkling
Beverage Maker close to a heat source.
• Always remove the drip tray for cleaning
when the unit is not in use.
Maintaining your Beverage Bottle
• The beverage bottle designed for your
Sparkling Beverage Maker is uniquely
threaded to fit only a Cuisinart Sparkling
Beverage Maker. Use only Cuisinart
beverage bottles in your Sparkling
Beverage Maker. The attempted use of
other beverage bottles not approved by
Cuisinart will damage your Sparkling
Beverage Maker.
• Always check your beverage bottle and
bottle cap before each use. If you discover
that the bottle or cap has any defects,
such as a distorted shape, scratches or
cuts, or is generally worn down, stop using
the defective item and replace it.
• The beverage bottles and cap are not
dishwasher safe (hand wash only).
• Do not store near a heat source. Exposure
to heat will likely damage your beverage
bottle. Do not microwave.
• Each beverage bottle has an expiration
date. Be sure to discontinue use and
replace the bottle once the expiration date
is reached.
• Always clean the beverage bottle
immediately after each use. Soda syrups
have a tendency to stain. Wash bottle with
warm water and any liquid dishwashing
detergent; rinse thoroughly.
