CARE OF YOUR WATER SOFTENER
D. CHECKLIST
... TO HELP
YOU SAVE MONEY
If your
water
softener
fails to work, make
the following
easy checks.
Often, you will find what's
wrong
your-
self and you
won't
have
to call and wait for service.
If you do not find anything
wrong,
while
making
the
checks,
and your
softener
still does not work,
call your
Sears
Service
Department.
Note:
1. Also read
ERROR
CODE,
page
5-2.
2. If an error code is not displayed,
press
SELECT button.
Move black bar to Service Mode and press
SELECT.
Then,
move black
bar to Set Model
and press
SELECT.
The display
must
show
HF45. If any other
number
shows,
the face plate computer
is working
on incorrect
input
and would
probably
be the cause of the problem.
To set HF45, press
either
the UP/X
or DOWN
V button.
When
ttF45
shows,
press
SELECT
twice to return
to the normal
operating
screen.
Reset the present
time, hardness
numbel,

Look at FIG.14 on page 4-1. Move the stem in
a single valve to service. In a 3-valve bypass,
open the inlet and outlet valves, and be sure to
fully close the bypass valve.
Take apart and clean or replace damaged

Read the hardness

Avoid using hot water during this time because
the water heater refills with hard water (see
Automatic Bypass, page 2-6).
Ask your Sears retail store for a new water
analysis. Then make a new hardness number
setting (page 1-4).
