SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The water softener has a blue light that will flash to remind you to add salt to the storage tank.
NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is added to the water softener.
NOTE: The salt monitor system estimates salt levels, and accuracy will vary with different salts.
To set this monitor system:
1. Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank. 2. The yellow salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see Fig. 24). Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at, or
closest to.

SALT EFFICIENCY: When this feature is ON, the water softener will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per pound of salt or higher. The softener may recharge more often using smaller salt dosage and less water. This softener is shipped with the efficiency feature set OFF. Installations in the State of California require this setting to be turned ON. Use the r UP or s DOWN buttons to change between OFF and ON.
California Efficiency Requirement Your Kenmore Water Softener has a “High Efficiency” feature that can be set ON or OFF. This softener is shipped with the efficiency feature set OFF, which will utilize the maximum rated capacity while most often achieving maximum salt efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State of California, you MUST turn the efficiency feature ON. The softener may initiate more frequent recharges, but it will operate at 4000 grains per pound of salt or higher.
