1. Press the f UP or V DOWN buttons to set the
hardness of your water supply, in grains per gallon.
The default is 25.
NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compensate
for it by adding to the water hardness number.
For example, assume your water is 20 gpg hard
and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness
number for each 1 ppm of iron. In this example,
you would use 30 for your hardness number.

If your water supply contains iron, it is recom-
mended that you clean your water softener resin
bed at least every 6 months. Your local Sears
store has Water Softener Cleaner (Part Number
34427) available.

The softener's default recharge start time is 2:00 AM.
This is normally a time of day when water is not
being used in the household. Hard water bypasses
the softener if the household draws water during the
recharge cycle. If a different recharge start time is
desired, press the f UP or V DOWN buttons to
change the time, in 1-hour increments. Be sure AM or
PM is correct.
When the desired recharge start time is displayed,
press the SELECT button, and the display will change
to show one of the "Salt Type" screens shown below.

SET SALT TYPE
If you completed the previous step, either "NaCI" (for
Sodium Chloride) or "KCI" (for Potassium Chloride)
should show in the display. Otherwise, press the
SELECT button several times until one of them does.
1. Press the f UP or V DOWN buttons to set the type
of salt you will be using in your water softener. The
default is NaCI (standard Sodium Chloride water sof-
tener salt). If you will be using I<CI (Potassium
Chloride) instead, be sure to set salt type to KCI. This
setting adjusts the regeneration cycle times to com-
pensate for the different rate at which KCI dissolves.
See also the following page for more information on
salt types.
2. When the correct salt type is displayed, press the
SELECT button, and the display will return to the nor-
mal run (time of day) screen.
