OPENING THE CO
2
CYLINDER
Pict. 5 Pict. 6
a) Hold the pressure reducer (Pict. 5) firmly with one hand. With the other hand,
tighten the CO
2
gas bottle as much as possible, keeping mono-use CO
2
gas bottles in a
vertical position (Pict. 6).
b) At this stage, pay close attention to the tube connected to the pressure reducer
which must never be pulled or compressed.
Any gas leak during this operation is normal. However, a continuous leak after
the bottle has been completely tightened is NOT normal. Make sure that you have
tightened the bottle properly!
WARNING. Exposure to the CO
2
jet may cause burns due to the very low
temperature of the gas.
c) Position the bottle in the most appropriate housing, if possible near to the fountain.
About 1 hour after tightening the bottle, the apparatus is ready to dispense water. The
correct position for the installation and removal of the bottle is the vertical one with
the pressure reducer above and the bottle underneath.
NOTE
In addition to being linked to reaching the optimal temperature of the refrigerator, the
quality of carbonation also depends on the physical characteristics of the water used.
It takes about 1,5 hours to obtain optimal carbonation (without extracting either
cold or carbonated water in the meantime) from the time of connection of the fountain
to the electricity supply.
