OPERATING IN MANUAL CLEAN RINSE MODE

Clean Rinse cycles will run automatically, unless the automatic Clean Rinse function has been disabled. If this function has been disabled, it will be necessary to manually initiate any Clean Rinse cycles. It is recommended that a Clean Rinse cycle should be run at least once each month, or more frequently if necessary.

A manual Clean Rinse mode may be used when a drain (required for automatic Clean Rinse) is not available. However, it is recommended that automatic Clean Rinse be used if the drain requirements can be met.

IMPORTANT: During the Clean Rinse cycle, whether manually or automatically initiated, water will flow from the valve drain port. If a permanent drain line has not been installed, provisions must be made for the drain flow prior to initiating a Clean Rinse cycle.

DISABLING AUTOMATIC CLEAN RINSE

To disable the automatic Clean Rinse function:

1. Press and immediately release the CLEAN button (pressing and holding the button a few seconds would initiate a Clean Rinse cycle).

2.“VAC” should flash in the display, as shown in Figure 19, indicating that the Central Water Filtration System is in the manual Clean Rinse mode (the automatic Clean Rinse function has been disabled).

MANUALLY STARTING AN CLEAN RINSE CYCLE

To manually start an Clean Rinse cycle:

1. Press and hold the CLEAN button for a few seconds, until “RECHARGE NOW” flashes in the display.

2. When the Clean Rinse cycle is complete, the Central Water Filtration System will remain in the manual Clean Rinse mode.

RE-ENABLING AUTOMATIC CLEAN RINSE

To return the Central Water Filtration System to its automatic Clean

Rinse function:

1. Press and immediately release the CLEAN button.

2. The flashing “VAC” on the display should be replaced by the nor- mal time of day screen, as shown in Figure 21.

POWER OUTAGE MEMORY

If electrical power to the Central Water Filtration System is lost, “mem- ory'' built into the controller circuitry will keep all settings for up to eight hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the Central Water Filtration System will not Clean Rinse.

When electrical power is restored, you have to reset the time of day only if the display is flashing. The Clean Rinse TIME never requires resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the Central Water Filtration System works as it should to keep your water treated. However, Clean Rinse cycles may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct time of day.

NOTE: If the Central Water Filtration System was in a Clean Rinse cycle when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
