Start Up Procedure; To Initiate The Start Up Cycle; During The Start Up Cycle; After The Start Up Cycle - Kenmore 625.382080 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT:
Run the start up cycle immediately after com-
pleting installation, before using any water in
the home.
The filtration media in this Central Water Whole Home
Filtration System contains a small number of harmless
activated carbon particles generated during shipping
that are small enough to exit the system with water
flow. It is normal for these particles to cause a tempo-
rary discoloration of the water coming out of the sys-
tem. To avoid discolored water at your home's faucets
the system's start up cycle should be initiated to rinse
the particles and any discolored water down the drain.
If the Central Water Whole Home Filtration System is
used without first running the start up cycle, you will
notice that the water will temporarily have a gray color
until the particles have exited the system.
To Initiate the start up cycle:
1. Make sure the drain hose is attached to the Central
Water Whole Home Filtration System and the other
end is secured over a drain (see "Install Valve Drain
Hose" on Page 10).
2. Make sure bypass valve is in the "service" (open or
filtered water) position and the home's water supply
is turned on.
3. Press and hold the CLEAN button to initiate the start
up cycle. The button can be released when you hear
the valve changing position and "RECHARGE NOW"
flashes in the display.
During the start up cycle:
Throughout the start up cycle you will hear the valve
changing position and notice the flow of water to drain
starting and stopping. The start up cycle will take
approximately 20 minutes. Avoid using water during
this time. Do not set the time of day or press other but-
tons during the start up cycle, as this will interrupt the
start up cycle. Do not unplug the transformer during
the start up cycle. If the start up cycle is interrupted, it
should be initiated again and allowed to run to comple-
tion.
After the start up cycle:
Once the start up procedure completes successfully, it
cannot be initiated a second time. The Central Water
Whole Home Filtration System will automatically return
to the normal operation position. Once the start up
cycle has run, a faucet in the home should be opened
and water allowed to run for 10 minutes at the system's
rated flow. If, after running the start up cycle, the
water still appears discolored, manually run Clean Rinse
cycles (See Page 14) until the water is clear.
If the time of day was not set before the start up cycle,
set it now (See Page 12).
Check the new plumbing connections and joints once
more for leaks.
