VALVE POSITION INDICATORS:
Depending on the valve position, the following indica­
tors show in the display:
Indicator Valve Position

Fill ........................................... Fill
Brine ....................................... Brining/Brine Rinse

When the valve is rotating from one cycle to another,
both indicators flash. For example, if the valve is in
transition between fill and brining, both Fill and Brine
flash. Upon reaching brining position. Fill goes off and
Brine is on steady. The time display shows the minutes
of the cycle remaining.
NOTE: If the faceplate is left in a diagnostic display
(or a flashing display when setting times or hard­
ness), present time automatically returns if a button
is not pressed within 4 minutes. To return to the
diagnostic display, repeat step 1.
