FAQs
What type of CO₂ cylinders does this soda maker use?
The Smeg Soda Maker is compatible with most standard screw-on CO₂ cylinders, typically 400-425g / 60 L, intended for domestic use.
Do I need to plug the soda maker into an electrical outlet?
No, the Smeg Soda Maker does not require electricity or batteries to operate. It uses a CO₂ cylinder for carbonation.
What is the capacity of the included bottles?
The soda maker comes with a 1-liter bottle, designed to be filled up to the 800ml line for optimal carbonation.
Can I carbonate liquids other than water?
This soda maker is designed specifically for carbonating water. Carbonating other liquids may damage the unit or produce undesirable results.
How do I clean the Smeg Soda Maker?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. The bottles can be washed with warm, soapy water or are often dishwasher safe (check bottle manual).
How often do I need to replace the CO₂ cylinder?
The frequency of CO₂ cylinder replacement depends on usage. A standard 60L cylinder typically lasts for approximately 60 liters of sparkling water, but this can vary based on the level of carbonation desired.
Is the spare bottle identical to the original?
Yes, the included spare bottle (SKSB01) is identical to the one that comes with the SKC01 soda maker, offering the same 1-liter capacity (800ml fill line).
Troubleshooting
No carbonation is occurring.
Check if the CO₂ cylinder is properly installed and not empty. Ensure the bottle is securely attached to the soda maker before operating the dial.
Water is leaking.
Verify that the bottle is correctly screwed onto the soda maker. Ensure the bottle is not overfilled beyond the indicated fill line.
Weak carbonation.
Try carbonating for a longer duration using the front dial. Ensure you are using very cold water, as this carbonates more effectively.
Difficulty attaching the bottle.
Ensure the bottle's threading aligns correctly with the soda maker's attachment point. Do not force it; it should screw on smoothly.
