Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently. • Check if the power plug is properly connected. • Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the freezer or fridge to a colder temperature.
• Check for spoiled food. • Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered. • Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food. Frost forms on the walls of the freezer. • Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely. • Allow sufficient space between the stored food for efficient air circulation. • Is the freezer drawer closed properly? The water dispenser is not functioning.
The Quick Making option makes a wind noise while in process. • While the Quick Making option is active, the SodaStream Carbonator cycles through injecting and discharging CO2 gas, which can make such a noise. The taste of the sparkling water is weak. • Increase the Sparkling Level of the sparkling water. • When the taste of the sparkling water is too weak or there is no other taste than water, replace the SodaStream Carbonator with a new one.
• Check if the short lines inside the cup icon are turning on one by one in a clockwise direction. This indicates that the sparkling water is being produced. When production is complete, all of the short lines inside the cup icon turn on. When production is complete, the refrigerator will dispense sparkling water. • If the refrigerator is not dispensing sparkling water, check if “OFF” is displayed above the cup icon over the Sparkling Maker button.
Sparkling water is produced continuously. The cylinder icon did not turn on when the SodaStream Carbonator remove. • Has the sparkling water production time limit been reached? The length of time during which sparkling water is generated is determined by the Sparkling Level setting. (Level 1: Approx. 10 mins; Level 2: Approx. 20 mins; Level 3: Approx. 30 mins) Please wait until the sparkling water production time has been reached. • Check if the refrigerator door is open.
OPTIMUM OPERATING ENVIRONMENT FOR SPARKLING WATER Descriptions [Water temperature] • Since the temperature of the sparkling water greatly affects the taste of the water, if the temperature of water is not sufficiently low, you may not be able to get the right taste. • We recommend you wait at least four hours after connecting tap water to the refrigerator before making and dispensing sparkling water.
Item Descriptions [The water supply pressure and water taste] • If water pressure to the refrigerator is low, check if the water line valve is fully open and if the water line is kinked or bent. • If a water purifier is connected to the refrigerator, there may be insufficient water supply for sparkling water production. • If there is insufficient water supply, the concentration of the sparkling water increases or the amount of sparkling water may decrease.
