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.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation
by a licensed plumber. For installation, use plumbing code
248- CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,

D. SANITIZE THE
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water soft-
ener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the
softener will not infect or contaminate your water
supply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow.
However, during shipping, storage, installing and
operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For
this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested (i9
when installing.
_The first time you sanitize your softener, be sure
to do all steps in the installation manual, and on
pages 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 of this manual first.
Note: Be certain the bypass valve is pulled out
to "service" position.
_Lift the salt hole cover and use a pail to fill the
salt storage tank with up to 3 gallons of water.
_1 Remove the brinewell cover (FIG. 3) and pour
about 3/4 ounce, or 1 to 2 tablespoons, of com-
mon 5.25%, unscented, household bleach (Clo-
fox, Linco, BoPeep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.) in the
softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover.
D Press the RECHARGE button and holdfor 3 se-
conds to start a recharge. This first recharge does
several things.
• It draws the bleach into and through the softener
to sanitize it.
• It fills the salt tank to the water level needed.

• It gets all the air out of the resin tank.
• It prepares the resin bed (see page 2-4) for ser-
vice and flushes residual chlorine from the soften-
er.
Notes:
This recharge takes about 2-1/2 or 2- 3/4 hours, de-
pending on the salt type setting (page 1-4).
You can sanitize the softener with or without salt
in the storage tank.
Recommended by the Water Quality Association, On some
water supplies, the water softener may need periodic
disinfecting.

El
ADDING SALT TO THE STORAGE TANK
Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and
every regeneration. The water for making brine is me-
tered into the salt storage tank by the softener.
You must keep salt in the tank, but because the wa-
ter softener is very efficient, it is not necessary to
keep it full. Especially in humid areas, it is best to
fill the storage tank one quarter to one half full, and
to refill it more often. Salt bridging (see page 3-1) oc-
curs more often when conditions are humid.
Use NUGGET or PELLET water softener salt. DO
NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and sediments
that will stop the softener from working.
Before adding salt, be sure the brinewell cover is in
place on the top of the bfinewelt. It is recommended to
set the salt monitor system, although it is not required
for proper operation (see page 2-1).
Note: The salt monitor system, page 2-1, is calibrated
to the density of nugget or pellet water softener salt.
The monitor will not work as accurately with other
types of salt including rock and solar.
If you choose Potassium Chloride (KC1) as a regener-
ant, following these suggestions will help give you
years of maintenance free service.
1) Place only one bag of KC1 in your softener at a time
(the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60
pounds of KC1 at any one time).
2) A softener using KC1 should not be placed in areas
with temperature fluctuations and high humidity
(KC1 will harden in these environments and may
make the softener inoperable).
3) Check the brine tank and brine well (black tube in
salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present,
pour small amounts of warm water on hardened areas
until they loosen.
4) If your softener does not have a KC1 salt setting you
must increase your hardness setting by 25% to ensure
continuous soft water as in example below.

WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON REMOVING
ADDITIVES -- Some salts have an additive to help the
softener handle iron in the water supply. These salts
may be used if your water supply has a high iron con-
tent. It is recommended to use Sears Resin Bed Clean-
er 42- 34426, for periodic treatments to keep your resin
bed clean. This is available at your local Sears store.
Sodium information: Water softeners using sodium
chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water.
Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should
consider the added sodium as part of their overall so-
dium intake. For example, if your water supply is 15
grains hard, and you drank 3 quarts of softened water
you would consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That
is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices of white bread.
Persons who are concerned about their drinking water
should consider a Kenmore Drinking Water System
that will remove or reduce in excess of 90% of the so-
dium and other drinking water contaminants.

the display.
Sometimes, a manually started
regeneration (recharge) may be
desired, or needed. Two exam-
ples are:
- You have used more water than
usual (guests visiting) and you
may run out of soft water before
the next timer started regenera-
tion.
- You did not refill the softener
with salt before it was gone. After
you refill with salt:
You can start a regeneration right

I1_ SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The face plate timer has a low salt monitor with an
indicator light to remind you to add salt to the stor-
age tank. To set this monitor system:
_1_ Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the
storage tank.
m The salt level decal on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing be-
low). Observe the number the leveled salt is at
or closest to.
m
Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button
until black bars display up to the salt level num-
ber. For example, the pictures below show the
salt level at 6.
E!
Finally, set the level you want the low salt indi-
cator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL LIGHT
ADJUST button until a (÷) shows opposite this
number. In the example below, the light will
come on when the stored salt drops to level 2. At
level 2, the storage tank is about 1/3 full. This is
the lowest you should allow the stored salt level
to drop to (see note on page 1-6).
_If you wish to turn the salt monitor off, press the
SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST button until OFF
shows above.
Note:
Your salt monitor is an estimate of your salt level; ac-
curacy depends on the type of salt used and other
regeneration characteristics.
