California Efficiency Requirement
Your Kenmore Water Softener has a "High Effi-
ciency" feature with an "ON" or "OFF" setting.
This softener setting is shipped in the "OFF"
position, which utilizes the maximum rated ca-
pacity while most often achieving maximum salt
efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State
of California, you MUST turn this setting to the
"ON" position which may initiate more frequent
recharges, however it will operate at 4000 grains
per pound of salt or higher.
If you wish to turn the Salt Efficiency feature
"ON" (_,_ icon will show in display), follow the
instructions in the Faceplate Timer Features, Sec-
tion 2 of this manual.
