SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 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 (1-800216-5775), 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. Filter Holder Rotate for Selection Carbon Filter 8 Removable Water Reservoir
