Water Filter

Removal and Installation

Initial Installation

The water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the fresh food compartment.

•Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.

•Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover closed.

IMPORTANT:

•After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the dispenser lever for five seconds, then release it for five seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (five seconds on, five seconds off) for an additional five minutes until a total of 4 gal. (15L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Replacing Water Filter

Important: Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for two minutes before removing the filter for any reason. Use caution when removing.

•Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.

•Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose of filter in normal household trash.

•Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with Initial Installation. The filter should be changed at least every 6 months.

Important: Condition of water and amount used determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.

Replacement water filters are available through your local Viking Range Dealer. You may also order filters by calling 1-888-845-4641 or online at vikingrange.com

The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.
