HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS
RECHARGE TIME REMAINING and VALVE
POSITION INDICATORS
One of the valve position indi-
cators (Serv, Fill, Brine,
Bkwsh, Rinse) is displayed

ing (See *Note on page 2-1 if
the CLEAN feature is ON).

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 mov-
ing from one cycle to another, both position indica-
tors 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 pow-
er comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS
and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting un-
less 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, regenera-
tions may occur at the wrong time of day until you
reset the timer to the correct time of day (page 1-3).
ERROR CODE
An error code could appear in C_ _

KENMORE'S ULTRA CLEANSING FEATURE
(UltraSoft 280 only)
The ultra cleansing feature keeps larger particles of
sediment from entering the home's plumbing sys-
tem. As water passes through the softener, the larg-
er sediment particles are collected in the integrated
basket and then rinsed to the drain before each re-
generation. The ultra cleansing feature provides
added protection for water-using appliances by re-
ducing the chance of larger particles entering the
various product's valves and screens.
An extra backwash will be pre-programmed into
the electronics by the factory (see "Clean Feature" in
Section 2 "Faceplate Timer Features" in this manu-
al). This extra backwash will help keep the ultra
cleansing feature screen clean.
Important: The ultra cleansing feature is not in-
tended to replace pretreatment filtration. For prob-
lem water applications, additional sediment filtra-
tion is recommended.
Sears offers a full- line of dedicated sediment filtra-
tion products including the Whole Home Filter and
Automatic Clarifying Filter.
