WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER
To view the flow rate through the softener in gallons (or liters) per minute, press the WATER USE button. If soft water is in use, the flow rate will be displayed to the nearest tenth of a gallon (or liter). The display will show “0” when all faucets and water using appliances are off.

AVERAGE DAILY GALLONS OR LITERS Press the WATER USE button a second time to display the average number of gallons (or liters) of soft water that the household uses each day. This water usage figure is recalculated daily by the elctronic controller. To turn this display off, press the WATER USE button once again.

RECHARGE TIME REMAINING & VALVE POSITION INDICATORS
One of the valve position indicators (Serv, Fill, Brine, Bkwsh, Rinse) is displayed while the softener is recharg- ing. RECHARGE flashes in the display and, beginning 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 dis- play is blank but the electronic controller keeps the cor- rect time for several hours. When electrical power comes on again, you will 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 clock 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 clock to the correct time of day.
KENMORE’S ULTRA CLEANSING FEATURE The ultra cleansing feature keeps larger particles of sediment from entering the home’s plumbing system. As water passes through the softener, the larger sediment particles are collected in the integrated basket and then rinsed to the drain before each regeneration. The ultra cleansing feature provides added protection for water using appliances by reducing the chance of larg- er particles entering the various products valves and screens. The “Clean Feature” may be turned ON to provide an extra backwash that will help keep the ultra cleansing screen clean. The default is OFF. IMPORTANT: The ultra cleansing feature is not intended
to replace pretreatment filtration. For problem water applications, additional sediment filtration is recommended.
