default minutes example: time set to 3minutes
=CLEAN feature minutes: If you are using this
feature (page 7), the length of the extra backwash
cycle automatically sets to 7 minutes. However, you
can adjust this time from 1 to 15 minutes in length. To
change this cycle time, use the UP button to increase
the time, or the DOWN button to shorten the time. If
no change is desired, continue below.
2. Press SELECT again to show the following
RECHARGE display.
RECHARGE
DAY
default display example: set to 4 days maxi-
mum between regenerations
RECHARGE
DAY
=Maximum days between regenerations: The
faceplate timer automatically controls regeneration
frequency (see page 14). This provides the greatest
operating efficiency, and normally the maximum
days feature is not needed. If you want to be certain
a regeneration will occur within a number of days,
use this feature. For example, if your water supply
contains iron and you want the softener to
regenerate at least once every few days to keep the
resin bed clean, set the display as typically shown
above. Setting is available from 1 to 15 days by using
the UP and DOWN buttons.
3. Press SELECT to show the 12 HOUR display.
=12 or 24 hour clock: All
time displays are shown in
standard clock time (1 to 12 PM;
and 1 to 12 AM) at the 12 hr
default setting. If military time
displays are desired, set to 24 hr
by pressing the UP button.
4. Press SELECT to return the present time display.
WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER
If soft water is in use, the water
flow bars continually scroll
across the display. The bars
scroll slowly when water flow is
slow, and move faster as water
flow increases. The flow bars do
not show when all faucets and
water using appliances are off.
RECHARGE TIME REMAINING and VALVE
POSITION INDICATORS
One of the valve position indicaĆ
tors (Serv, Fill, Brine, Bkwsh,
Rinse) is displayed while the
softener is recharging (See
*
NOTE on page 10 if the CLEAN
feature is ON). RECHARGE
flashes in the display and, beginĆ
ning with Brine, the minutes of recharge remaining
before return to service appears in place of the
present time. When the valve is moving from one
cycle to another, both position indicators are
flashing.
PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the
correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical
power comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS
and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless
a change is desired.
Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power
outage, the softener works as it should to keep your
water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the
wrong time of day until you reset the timer to the
correct time of day.
ERROR CODE
An error code could appear in
the face plate display if a probĆ
lem occurs in the softener elecĆ
tronics. If you see an error code
instead of the present time of
day, please call you local Sears
Service Department for service.
