The parts required to assemble and install the water softener are included with the unit. Thoroughly check the water softener for possible shipping damage and parts loss. Also inspect and note any damage to the shipping carton. Remove and discard (or recycle) all packing materials.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION WHERE TO INSTALL THE WATER SOFTENER Review the following points before you choose a place to put your softener: 1. Place as close as possible to, but always downstream from, the pressure tank (well water) or water meter (city water).
CHECK YOUR WATER PRESSURE BEFORE INSTALLING For your water softener to work properly, incoming water pressure in your house pipes must be no lower than 20 pounds per square inch (psi).
INSTALL SINGLEBYPASS VALVE (cont.) Before installing the bypass valve and/or installation adaptors, make sure that the turbine and support are firmly in place inside the softener valve's outlet port.
CONNECT THE VALVE DRAIN HOSE Take a length of 3/8" inside diameter drain tubing (supplied) and attach one end to the drain fitting (see Fig. 11). Use a tube clamp from the parts bag to hold it in place. Put the other end of the tubing over a floor drain, into a laundry tub, standpipe, or other suitable drain.

SANITIZE THE WATER SOFTENER 1. Open salt lid, remove the brinewell cover and pour about 3 oz. (6 tablespoons) of household bleach into the softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover. 2. Make sure the bypass valve(s) is in the "service" (open) position.
EXTRA RECHARGE Sometimes, a manually initiated recharge (regeneration) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are: • You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next automatic regeneration. • You did not add salt to the softener before it ran out.
OPTIONAL SETTINGS: • SALT EFFICIENCY • CLEAN FEATURE • CLEAN FEATURE MINUTES • MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERA- TIONS • 97°/o FEATURE • 12 / 24 HOUR CLOCK • BACKWASH & FAST RINSE TIMES 1. To set any of these options, press and hold SELECT for 3 seconds until "000" shows in the display.

SALTBRIDGE Sometimes, a hard crust or salt "bridge" forms in the brine tank. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt "bridges," an empty space forms between the water and the salt. Then, salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine.
TROUBLESHOOTING If your water softener does not work properly, make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what is wrong yourself 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 properly, call your Sears Service Department.
MANUALLY INITIATED ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS 1. To enter diagnostics, press the SELECT button and hold for three seconds. The display will change to show turbine count, valve cycle position, and position switch status (open or closed).
MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK This check verifies proper operation of the valve motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow rates, and other controller functions. Always make the initial checks first, and perform the manually initiated elec- tronic diagnostics.
