D. SANITIZING THE WATER FILTER

Care is taken at the factory to keep your water filter

as clean and sanitary as possible. However, it is sug-

gested that the sanitizing procedure below is follo- wed ,_1_

loPress and hold the RE-

CHARGE button until

"RECHARGE NOW"

begins to flash in the display. Water will be-

gin to run from the drain hose as the filter valve

moves into backwash position.

After 5 to 10 minutes, press the RECHARGE

button again to move the valve into fast rinse position (water stops, then begins to run from drain hose again).

o In about two minutes, put the bypass valve(s)

in bypass position (see Figure 9, page 4-1).

Then press the RECHARGE button once again to return the filter to service position. Doing this

releases water pressure in the filter.

oCarefully remove the large plastic clip at the fil- ter valve inlet (pages 6-3 and 6-4). Pull the

valve adaptor from the valve inlet.

NOTE: If bypass valve, Sears Stock No. 42- 3437 is

installed, or if plumbing is too rigid to move, also

disconnect the outlet side and move the filter away from plumbing.

4.Put one teaspoon (0.1 ounce) of calcium hypo- chlorite into the valve inlet as far as possible.

NOTE: You can buy calcium hypochlorite in tablet

or granular form under trade names such as Perch- loron and HTH.

oBe sure the valve inlet is clean, for a good seal-

ing surface for the valve adaptor o-ring. Then,

reconnect plumbing to the filter. AFTER

INSTALLING THE LARGE PLASTIC CLIP,

PULL OUTWARD ON THE VALVE ADAPTOR

TO BE SURE IT'S PROPERLY HELD IN PLACE.

oSLOWLY, reposition the bypass valve(s) to ser- vice, Figure 9, page 4-1. Open the nearest fil: tered water faucet until you can smell chlorine, then close.

7.Again, put the bypass valve(s) in bypass posi- tion. Allow the filter to stand idle for about 45

minutes, while the chlorine sanitizes.

goAfter 45 minutes, return the bypass valve(s) to service position.

oRepeat steps 1, la and lb to advance the filter to

backwash. The timer will automatically ad-

vance the filter through the backwash and fast

rinse cycles, during which the sanitizing bleach is flushed to the drain.

NOTE: The backwash and fast rinse cycles take

about 30 minutes. When over, the timer automati- cally returns the filter to service (water flow from the drain hose stops).

10.Open house filtered water faucets and allow to run until the chlorine odor is gone.

_ Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On some water sup-

plies, the water filter may need periodic disinfecting.
