NOTE - CYCLE COMPLETION TIMES
The completion times shown on the display are guideline: they may vary due to factors such as
the intake water temperature and pressure.
At the end of each program, a resin regeneration phase may be automatically tripped, followed by
resin washing, to ensure that the integral softener operates correctly. These procedures do not
take place at every cycle but are triggered as needed, depending on the intake water hardness and
the amount of water used.
The procedures are not included in the theoretical cycle time shown initially on the display.
In order for the real times to be close to the theoretical stated times, the appliance parameters
must be set appropriately, so that the time passed is calculated on the basis of the electrical
connection as made.
