Start-Up Procedure - Whirlpool WHELJ1 Manual De Instrucciones

Programming the Electronic Controller
SET TIME OF DAY
When the power supply is plugged into the electrical
outlet, a model code and a test number (example:
J2.0), begin to flash in the faceplate display. Then,
12:00 PM and the words "PRESENT TIME" begin to
flash.
If the words "PRESENT TIME" do not show in the dis-
play, press the PROGRAM button until they do.
IMPORTANT:
Run the start up cycle immediately after
completing installation, before using any
water in the home.
The filtration media in this Central Water 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 temporary discol-
oration of the water coming out of the system. To
avoid discolored water at your home's faucets the sys-
tem's start up cycle should be initiated to rinse the par-
ticles and any discolored water down the drain.
If the Central Water 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 parti-
cles have exited the system.
To Initiate the start up cycle:
1. Make sure the drain hose is attached to the Central
Water Filtration System and the other end is
secured over a drain (see Figure 4).
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
buttons during the start up cycle, as this will interrupt
the start up cycle. Do not unplug the power supply
during the start up cycle. If the start up cycle is inter-
rupted, it should be initiated again and allowed to run
to completion.
After the start up cycle:
Once the start up procedure completes successfully, it
cannot be initiated a second time. The Central Water
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 a 3-minute Clean
Rinse cycle: Press and hold the CLEAN button for a
few seconds, until "RECHARGE NOW" flashes in the
display. Repeat, if necessary, until the water is clear.
If the time of day was not set before the start up cycle,
set it now (See "Set Time of Day", above).
Check the new plumbing connections and joints once
more for leaks.
