Routine Maintenance - Whirlpool WHES3T Installation And Operation Manual

POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the water softener is lost,
"memory" built into the timer circuitry will keep all
settings for several hours. While the power is out, the
display is blank and the water softener will not
regenerate. When electrical power is restored, the
following will occur:
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 operates 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.
NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when
power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
