HINTS 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
yourself
and you won't
have to call and wait for service.
If, after making
the checks, your softener
still
does not work right, call your Sears Service
Department,
or call toll free, number
1-800-426-9345
for
telephone
assistance.
NOTE:

CODE,
page 10.
2. If an error code is not dispIayed,
press and hold the SELECT button
until (example:

the display.
Then, press SELECT again and hold until an SR code appears.
It must show SR 22 for Model
Nos. 625.348471
and 625.348491.
If any other SR number

or DOWNW
button.
Then, press SELECT to return

CORRECTION
From the outlet of the water softener, trace the water flow paths
in your house pipes. If soft water is not directed to a faucet or
fixture where it is wanted, consult a plumber. To conserve salt,
the installer may have isolated some fixtures (outside faucets,
toilets, etc.) from soft water.
Refill with salt, or break the salt bridge
(page 14). Press

seconds to start a regeneration
