TIME TIME
default minutes example: time set to 3mlnutes
QCLEAN 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 RECHARGE
default display example: set to 4 days maxi­
mum between regenerations
\_\Maximum days between regenerations: The
faceplate timer automatically controls regenera­
tion 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.
Q32 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 dis­
plays 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 ap­
pliances are off.
Flow bars scroll when
soft water is in use.

RECHARGE TIME REMAINING and VALVE
POSITION INDICATORS
One of the valve position indi­
cators (Serv, Fill, Brine, Bkwsh,
Rinse) is displayed while the
softener is recharging (See
=^NOTE on page 10 if the
CLEAN feature is ON). RE­
CHARGE 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
display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the
correct time for about 12 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 prob­
lem occurs in the softener elec­
tronics. If you see an error code
instead of the present time of day, please call your
local Sears Service Department for service.
