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.
7
• Carbonate cold water only.
• Never store bottle in the freezer.
Maintaining your Cuisinart Recyclable
CO2 Cartridge
• The Cuisinart recyclable CO2 cartridge is
designed specifically for a Cuisinart
Sparkling Beverage Maker system. These
cartridges are uniquely made to fit our
exclusive quick-connect system. Only use
Cuisinart recyclable CO2 cartridges when
carbonating water in your Sparkling
Beverage Maker.
• Cuisinart recyclable CO2 cartridges are
safe and made specifically for household
use only. Please follow all safety
instructions.
• Never tamper with the recyclable CO2
cartridge. Doing so could result in severe
injury.
• Store only in a cool place that is not
subject to frequent temperature changes
or high temperatures. If subjected to heat,
the pressure inside the cartridge will rise.
• All Cuisinart recyclable CO2 cartridges are
outfitted with an internal burst disk that will
release/expel/discharge the CO2 if the
pressure inside the cartridge becomes too
high.
• If this should happen, DO NOT touch the
cartridge. Leave the cartridge alone until
all the gas inside the cartridge is released.
You will see the cartridge frost up and it
will become exceptionally cold. DO NOT
touch the cartridge until it has returned
to room temperature. You will know it has
returned to room temperature when the
frost on the outside of the cartridge has
dissipated.
• Continue to exercise caution when
handling the recyclable CO2 cartridge
as it may still be cold.
• Do not transport your Sparkling Beverage
Maker while the recyclable CO2 cartridge
is connected to the unit.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight or
temperatures in excess of 130˚F (54˚C).
TIPS AND HINTS
• 3 pumps—two-second bursts of pressure
on the carbonating activation lever leaving
a few seconds in between each burst, are
recommended to achieve an average level
of carbonation. To achieve a stronger
carbonation level, simply pump again to
add more CO2.
• Add your favorite soda syrups to
carbonated water, create your own
homemade sodas, or try the recipes
in our recipe booklet!
• Use your Sparkling Beverage Maker in
tandem with our Juice Extractor—mix
nutritious fresh juices into your carbonated
water!
• Using ingredients readily available at home,
like fresh juice or low calorie/diet syrups, is
a healthier alternative to popular highfructose sodas.
• Always tightly cap your beverage bottle
to hold onto the fizz in your beverage!
Make your morning fizz –
Add some carbonated water to freshly
squeezed orange or grapefruit juice. Serve in
a champagne glass with a citrus wedge and
make the kids feel extra special.
To each their own –
You decide how much fizz you want in your
drink. Some prefer water with their bubbles,
while others prefer bubbles to dominate the
water; you be the judge. The more times you
press, the more bubbles are being forced
into your water.
The Chill Factor–
To get the best bubbles, be sure to use
the coldest water possible. Store the
carbonating bottles filled with fresh, filtered
water in the refrigerator so they are ready
to go when you are!
At a moment’s notice –
Simple syrup can keep in the refrigerator for
up to one month. Make a big batch so you
can whip up drinks at any time.
Herbal-Infusions –
Herbs lend well to carbonated drinks. We
8
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 our strawberry syrup with soda water
and some vanilla ice cream. It is all about
preference, so keep trying until you find
your favorite.
For the after 5 o’clock crowd –
Let the Cuisinart Soda 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
Your Sparkling Beverage Maker isn’t
carbonating water
Be sure it’s in a fully upright position on a level surface.
Your cartridge may be empty. Full and empty weights are listed
on the cartridge.
Be sure your beverage bottle is lled to the water line.
CO2 is not coming out when I press the lever.
The cylinder could be out of gas. If so you can exchange your
empty cartridge for a relled cartridge at participating retailers.
Never throw 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 press the lever to allow a small
amount of gas to enter the cup of warm water. This should
loosen any residual syrup residue.
The unit is continuing to make a hissing noise
as if CO2 is leaking from the machine.
Call customer service at 1-800-726-0190.
The beverage bottle won’t unscrew from the
machine.
Tilt the bottle away from the a machine to engage the pressure
relief valves.
My water is too lightly carbonated
Ideally (3) one-second buzzes should be sufcient carbonation.
When the unit buzzes while carbonating, it is signifying that you
have reached the optimal absorption of CO2. It is recommended to make sure your water is extra carbonated when adding
avor to carbonated water.
Water from the beverage bottle and made a
mess all over my countertop.
Make sure you only ll the water bottle to the water ll line.
Overlling the bottle can result in water getting drawn back
into the unit.
My bottle is overflowing.
Make sure you are only carbonating water.
Never add the avor syrup before carbonating.
Be sure to tilt the bottle of carbonated water at a 45 degree
angle while slowing adding in the avored syrups. All of these
things could cause your bottle to overow.
I hear gas escaping, but it’s not making the
“buzz” noise.
The water bottle might not be screwed in tight enough.
Make sure to turn until rmly 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 forever its best to ensure that the bottle
is not used indenitely. As the expiration date approaches new
bottles should be purchased to replace the current beverage
bottles
I need to refill my CO2 cartridge.
Never attempt to rell a cartridge yourself. It must be relled
by an authorized Cuisinart retailer. Please bring your empty
cartridge to a participating retailer to exchange it for a full one.

green stalks, not ones that are brown and peeling at
the ends, for that means that they are past their
prime). If you cannot locate it in the produce
section, try looking in the frozen food aisles (and if
you are lucky, it’s already chopped!). Peel away the
outer leaf and use the inner, fresher stalk.
Makes about 1 cup
1 cup Simple Syrup (Version 2)
3 tablespoons chopped lemongrass
(from about 1 stalk)

Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in
the refrigerator for up to a month.

SUGAR SYRUPS
Simple Syrup (Version 1 – heavy)
Simple syrups are the base of most of the
flavored syrups. We have created two versions;
this one is a true simple syrup, meaning that
it is equal parts sugar to water, while the second
is a bit less concentrated. They take little time
to prepare, and are good to have on hand
to sweeten cold beverages such as iced coffee
and tea. This version is perfect for mixing
into cocktails, for it cuts the bite of the alcohol
a bit better than the lighter version.
Makes about 3½ cups
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water
1. Put both the sugar and water into a small
saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a
boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to
allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has
completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow
to cool completely before using. Syrup can be
stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator
for up to a month.
Simple Syrup (Version 2 – light)
This is a lighter version of our simple syrup.
It’s a bit less concentrated and has the perfect
amount of sweetness for regular sodas.
Makes about 2½ cups
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups water
1. Put both the sugar and water into a small
saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a
boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to
allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has
completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow
to cool completely before using. Syrup can be
stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator
for up to a month.
