Installing the carbon water filter
Detach the filter holder and remove the carbon water filter from the packaging in
water reservoir. Soak the filter in cold water for approximately 10 minutes (this is
only necessary with new filters being used for the first time). Place the carbon water
filter inside the holder and secure. Place the filter holder inside the water reservoir
in the molded, circular retainer. The carbon water filter should be changed every
3 months for optimal taste or more frequently (as specific conditions may dictate.)
Carbon water filters are available from your local dealer, service center (1-800-
216-5775), or at vikingrange.com.
The first letter of each month is molded on the filter holder, and may be selected
as a reminder to change the carbon filter when required depending on the
hardness of the water. See illustration below.
The filter should be used at all times to enhance the flavor of your coffee, as
well as remove some impurities from water. The filter may need to be changed
more frequently when used in areas with hard water. Your panel will display “dcl”
when descaling is needed. A clogged filter will slow down the flow of water and
damage the unit.
