regeneration (recharge) may be
desired, or needed. Two exam-
ples are:

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:

• SET SALT LEVEL
'lb set this monitor system, lift the
salt hole cover and level the salt in
the storage tank. The salt level de-
cal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8.
SET SALTLEVEL0
Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at, or
closest to. Now press the UP or DOWN buttons un-
til the number corresponds with the salt level num-
ber. At level 2 or below, the indicator LED will flash.
If you wish to turn this feature off, press the DOWN
button past 0, and the word "OFF" flashes in the dis-
play. Note: You must set salt level each time salt is
added to the water softener.
• PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the
correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical pow-
er comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARD-
NESS, RECHARGE TIME and SAUF LEVEL never
require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if
the timer is incorrect after a long power outage, the
softener works as it should to keep your water soft.
However, regenerations may occur at the wrong
time of day until you reset the timer to the correct
time of day.
• EFFICIENCY MODE
When this feature is ON, the wa-
ter softener will operate at salt ef-
ficiencies of 4000 grains of hard-
ness per pound of salt or higher.
(May recharge more often using
smaller salt dosage and less wa-
ter). Installations in the state of
California require this setting to

_J will only be displayed when this feature is ON.

curs in the softener electronics. If f" F _ _
