example: set to 4 days maxi-
mum between regenerations
_Maximum days between regenerations: The
faceplate timer automatically controls regeneration
frequency (see page 14). This provides the greatest
operating efficiency, and normally the maximum
da!_sfeature 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 clays to keep the
resin bed clean, set the display as typically shown
above. Setting is available from ] to ] 5 clays by using
the UP and DOWN buttons.

ning with BHne, 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 6 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 ctay until you reset the timer to the
correct time of clay.
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
clay, please call you local Sears
Service Department for service.
