RECHARGE TIME REMAINING & VALVE
POSITION INDICATORS
One of the valve position indicators (Serv, Fill, Brine,
Bkwsh, Rinse) is displayed while the softener is recharg -
ing. RECHARGE 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 indica tors are flashing.
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 appliances are off.

PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time dis-
play is blank but the electronic controller keeps the cor-
rect time for several hours. When electrical power
comes on again, you will 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 clock 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 clock to the
correct time of day.
KENMORE’S ULTRA CLEANSING FEATURE
The ultra cleansing feature keeps larger particles of
sediment from entering the home’s plumbing system. As
water passes through the softener, the larger sediment
particles are collected in the integrated basket and
then rinsed to the drain before each regeneration. The
ultra cleansing feature provides added protection for
water using appliances by reducing the chance of larg-
er particles entering the various products valves and
screens. The “Clean Feature” may be turned ON to
provide an extra backwash that will help keep the ultra
cleansing screen clean. The default is OFF.
IMPORTANT: The ultra cleansing feature is not intended
to replace pretreatment filtration. For
problem water applications, additional
sediment filtration is recommended.
Sears offers a full line of dedicated sediment filtration
products.
