How to Use – Making Sparkling Drinks
1. Prepare the Flavor Chamber and Carbonation
Chamber for drink making.
a) Open the Appliance Bottom Cap by turning it
counter-clockwise one full rotation
b) Fill the Flavor Chamber with cold water or a flavored syrup
TIP: The Flavor Chamber must be filled with water or flavor
every time you make a drink.
WARNING: Only liquids may be placed in the Flavor Chamber,
powders and solids in the flavor chamber may block the
inner tubing and render your Appliance unusable
WARNING: Thick or viscous syrups (e.g., a molasses-like
consistency) should not be used in the appliance as they
will not flow though the Appliance. Thick syrups can be
warmed to room temperature (no warmer than room
temperature) or diluted with water to make less thick.
d) Place a maximum of ONE carbonator in the Carbonation
Chamber
e) Close the Bottom Cap by turning the Bottom Cap clockwise
one full rotation
2. Prepare the Bottle for drink making.
5
a) Completely fill the Bottle with chilled, very cold water and
ensure both Bottle Caps are closed.
TIP: Using cold water between 36F-41F (2C-5C) is
recommended. Using water that is warmer than 50F (10C)
may result in poor carbonation. Using water that is greater
than 59F (15C) will result in the machine sensor ceasing
operations and issuing a warning tone. To rapidly drop the
water temperature, add a few ice cubes to the bottle prior
to carbonation.
WARNING: Your Appliance has been optimized to work with
cold water either directly from the tap or filtered water from
a water-filter pitcher kept in the fridge. Do not carbonate
already carbonated water or mineral water. Carbonating
already carbonated water will not increase the overall
carbonation level and some minerals may interfere with the
carbonation process.
b) Optionally add a few pieces of fruit, herbs or spices into the
Bottle as well.
c) Turn the Appliance Top Cap counterclockwise one-quarter
turn to lift the Top Spigot and allow the Bottle to be inserted
and place the Bottle in the Bottle Holder on the Appliance
d) Turn the Appliance Top Cap clockwise one-quarter turn to
attach, tap and seal the full Bottle to the Appliance and to
light up the Start Button
3. Push the lit Start Button
a) Watch as your beverage is created over a three minute
cycle until two chimes are heard
4. Enjoy and share your carbonated beverage!
a) After the two chimes are heard, turn the Appliance Top Cap
clockwise one quarter turn to release the sealed Bottle and
to automatically begin releasing the residual system
pressure
b) If the bottle is difficult to open, press the vent in the center
of the Top Bottle Cap before opening.
c) Allow the Appliance to automatically release the residual
system pressure in a slow, controlled manner.
d) Once the residual pressure has been released open the
Appliance Bottom Cap, remove the Removable Cup and
fully rinse the Removable Cup in the sink before making
your next beverage
NOTE: It will take about 30 seconds after the Bottle is released
to release the residual system pressure, you will be able to
hear a gentle hissing sound at the top of the Appliance
during this time.
WARNING: There is a safety lock that locks the Appliance
Bottom Cap closed until the residual system pressure is
released. Do not try to open the Appliance Bottom Cap
until the residual system pressure is released. Forcing the
Appliance Bottom Cap open prior to residual system
pressure being released will likely damage your appliance.

Care and Maintenance: Appliance and Bottle
• Periodic Rinse Cycles
❍ The rinsing steps outlined previously should be done
every week or two - to rinse your Appliance and Bottle
to keep beverages flavors fresh and clean.
❍ A rinse cycle is recommended if you want to make a
lighter flavor beverage such as sparkling water after
making a heavier flavored beverage such as a cola.
❍ Rinse your Appliance and Bottle using clean water in
the Flavor Chamber. Alternatively, a naturally acidic
cleaning solution is 1 part unsweetened lemon juice
to 5 parts water can be used in the Flavor Chamber.
• Storing Your Appliance Between Uses
❍ When you store your Appliance between uses make
sure the Removable Cup and the area under the
Removable Cup in the Appliance are completely dry
before reinserting
NOTE: Storing a wet Removable Cup or with wetness in
the area under the Removable Cup in the Appliance
with a closed Appliance Bottom Cap may result in a
stale smell in the Flavor and Carbonation Chambers
and will necessitate rinsing the Appliance with
naturally acidic cleaning solution before use, as
outlined above
7
• Handwash Your Appliance
❍ The Removable Cup and Appliance Bottom Cap should
be hand washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse well to
avoid any soap flavors or soap bubbles.
WARNING: The Appliance Bottom Cap and Removable
Cup are not dishwasher safe. Washing these parts in
the dishwasher will reduce their useful life and
invalidate your Bonne O warranty.
❍ Always unplug the Appliance before cleaning. Never
immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Do
not use a steam cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaners
or sharp tools to clean.
❍ Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft damp
cloth. Wipe spills in the bottle holder to keep the bottle
holder clean and dry.
• Dishwasher Safe Bottle
❍ Your Bonne O Bottle and its Caps are dishwasher safe
or may be washed by hand.
❍ To wash, remove the Bottle Top Cap and the Bottle
Bottom Cap from the Bottle and place all three (3)
parts in the dishwasher on the top rack away from the
dishwasher heat sources which are often located in
the bottom of the dishwasher.

stops.
Water is too warm
The Bottle must be attached to the system to light up the Start Button. To attach the
Bottle, place the Bottle in the Bottle Holder and turn the Appliance Top Cap one-quarter
turn clockwise.
If water greater than 59F (15C) is sensed, it will be rejected by the system as too warm.
Using water between 36F-41F (2C-5C) is recommended. Using water that is warmer
than 50F (10C) may result in poor carbonation. Use refrigerator chilled water or add a
few ice cubes to the bottle prior to carbonation to rapidly drop the water temperature.
Bottle is not filled
The Bottle must be completely filled to the rim for the system to run.
No water or flavor in
Flavor Chamber
The Flavor Chamber must be filled with flavor or water for the system to run. If you are
creating sparkling water or a fruit infusion, fill the Flavor Chamber with water. If
creating a flavored beverage, fill the Flavor Chamber with liquid flavor such as a syrup.
Water is too warm
Using water between 36F-41F (2C-5C) is recommended, using water that is warmer
than 50F (10C) may result in poor carbonation. Add a few ice cubes to the bottle prior
to carbonation to rapidly drop the water temperature. Use refrigerator chilled water or
add a few ice cubes to the Bottle prior to carbonation to rapidly drop the water
temperature. The Appliance will operate with a few ice cubes in the Bottle.
Pressure was not
maintained –
Appliance Bottom Cap
unsealed
The system must be completely sealed in order to maintain system pressure and fully
carbonate your beverage. When the system operates you will hear a hissing sound
from the Appliance Bottom Cap if it is not fully sealed. Ensure that the Appliance
Bottom Cap is completely closed by lining up Appliance Bottom Cap nose with the
matching appliance nose. Wipe the sealing area to clean any grains of dirt or solid
material that is impeding a completely sealed Appliance Bottom Cap.

Trouble Shooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Appliance Bottom Cap
will not close
Closure threads are
not lined up
The Appliance Bottom Cap is a screw cap, like found on most common bottles, but it is
very wide. The closure threads must be aligned to turn and close.
Carbonator has been
placed in Flavor
Chamber
The Flavor Chamber is designed to not allow the carbonator to fit in it, thereby
impeding the Appliance Bottom Cap when closing. Do not place the carbonator in the
Flavor Chamber. Move the carbonator to the Carbonation Chamber.
When Bottle is
opened, bubbles and
beverage foams over
Fruit, herb and spice
infusions create many
bubbles
Sometimes you will need to wait for the bubbles to settle down or to open the drink
slowly over the sink. Next time consider using less fruit, herbs or spice. Remove the
peel from oranges to reduce the bubbles
Appliance Bottom Cap
will not Open
Carbonation cycle is
complete and the
Appliance Bottom Cap
will not Open.
After the carbonation cycle, you must turn the Appliance Top Cap one quarter turn
counter-clockwise to release the Bottle and to release the residual system pressure.
Releasing the residual system pressure takes about 30 seconds and a hissing sound
will be heard near the Appliance Top Cap. When the residual system pressure is
released, the Appliance Bottom Cap should be turned one full turn counter-clockwise
to open.
Carbonation cycle is
complete, the Bottle is
released and the
Appliance Bottom Cap
will not Open.
If the residual system pressure is not released when the Appliance Top Cap has been
turned one-quarter counter-clockwise turn, the residual system relief valve may be
defective. The system pressure may be manually released by pressing the Appliance
Bottom Spigot after the Bottle has been removed; however this issue may recur. If it
recurs please contact Bonne O Customer Service to address the problem. Visit
www.bonneo.com/warranty for instructions.
Appliance was closed
with water and/or
syrup residue when
the Appliance Bottom
Cap was closed.
Rinse your Appliance and Bottle using a naturally acidic cleaning solution. One
suggestion is to use 1 part unsweetened lemon juice to 5 parts water in the Flavor
Chamber. Follow the directions in “First Use: Rinse Your Appliance and Bottle” from
these instructions and in the Quick Start Guide. Also wipe the area under the
Removable Cup and the Removable Cup with this solution.
Pressure is making
the top cap difficult to
turn.
Press the valve in the center of the Bottle Top Cap. This will release some pressure.
