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 12 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.

WARNING
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use refrigerator where water is
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after use of filter.
CAUTION
After installing a new water filter, always dispense water for two
minutes before removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped in
system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when
removing.
• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to have replacement
cartridge available when filter change is required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter
cartridge.
• If system has not been used for several months, or water has an
unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing two to three
glasses of water. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter
cartridge. If system has not been use for three months or more,
replace water filter cartridge.
Removal and Installation
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right hand
corner of the fresh food compartment.
• Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.
• Remove sealing label from end of filter and
insert into filter head.
• Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap
filter cover closed.
• Reduce water spurts by flushing air from
system. Run water continuously for two minutes
through dispenser until water runs steady.
During initial use, allow about a one- to two-
minute delay in water dispensing to allow
internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some
households where water is of poor quality.
