_CLEANfeature 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 ] to ] 5 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	DAYl	RECNARGELI °_l
default display		example: set	to 4 days maxi-
		mum between	regenerations

_Maximum days between regenerations: The

faceplate timer automatically controls regeneration frequency (see page 14). This provides the greatest operating efficiency, and normally the maximum da!_sfeature 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 clays to keep the resin bed clean, set the display as typically shown above. Setting is available from ] to ] 5 clays by using the UP and DOWN buttons.

3. Press SELECT to show the 12 HOUR display.

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 ctay until you reset the timer to the correct time of clay.

ERROR CODE

An error code could appear in the face plate display if a prob- lem occurs in the softener elec-

tronics. If you see an error code instead of the present time of clay, please call you local Sears Service Department for service.
