Its primary benefit is the ability to produce custom carbonated beverages without the need for electricity or batteries, allowing for complete placement flexibility.

FAQs
Does this machine include a CO2 cylinder?
No, the machine does not come with a CO2 cylinder. It is compatible with standard 400-425g (60L) screw-on cylinders.
Can I carbonate liquids other than plain water?
It is recommended to only carbonate plain water to prevent clogging the nozzle and damaging the device. You should add syrups or flavorings after the carbonation process.
How many liters does one cylinder produce?
A standard 60L cylinder will typically carbonate up to 60 liters of water, depending on the level of carbonation you choose.
Are the bottles BPA-free?
Yes, the reusable bottles are designed to be safe for food and beverage use.
What is the maximum fill level for the bottle?
While the bottles have a 1-litre total capacity, you must only fill them to the marked 800ml line for proper carbonation.
Do I need to plug the Smeg Soda Maker into an outlet?
No, this unit is entirely mechanical and requires no electricity or batteries.
Troubleshooting
Water is not carbonating effectively
Ensure the water is chilled before carbonating and check that the CO2 cylinder is tightly screwed in.
Gas is leaking during the carbonation process
Verify that the bottle is correctly seated and locked into the nozzle and check the cylinder connection for any debris.
The dial feels stuck or difficult to turn
Check if the gas cylinder is empty or if there is a pressure buildup; release the pressure from the bottle and try again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: position the unit on a flat surface, open the rear compartment, and twist your standard 60L screw-on CO2 cylinder into the valve until secure. No tools are required. For compatibility, ensure you are using standard 400-425g screw-in cylinders.
To maintain the appliance, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. The provided bottles should be washed with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid placing them in the dishwasher unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer to be dishwasher-safe, as high heat can warp the plastic bottle structure and compromise the seal.
