Press and release the REGENERATION button once more if you decide to cancel the regenera- tion, and RECHARGE TONIGHT will not flash in the dis- play.

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM

The face plate timer has a low salt monitor with an indi- cator light to remind you to add salt to the storage tank.

To set this monitor system:

1.Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the storage tank.

. The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing below).

Observe the number the leveled salt is at or closest to.

. Now, press the RESET SALT LEVEL button until black bars display up to the salt level number. For example, the figure shows the salt level at 6.

. Finally, set the level you want the low salt indicator light to come on. Press the SET LOW SALT LIGHT button until a (*) shows opposite this number. In the example, 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.

5.If you wish to turn the salt monitor off, press the SET LOW SALT LIGHT button until OFF shows above.

NOTE: Your salt monitor is an estimate of your salt level; accuracy depends on the type of salt used and other regeneration characteristics.

ADDING SALT TO STORAGE TANK

The Salt Monitor System will turn the low salt light on to warn you when to refill with salt. Check for a low salt light a few weeks after you install the softener, and every week after that. Add salt at about the #2 salt monitor level. At this level, the tank is about 1/3 full. Never let the softener use all the salt before refilling. Without salt, you will soon have hard water. After filling, reset the Salt Monitor System.

Note: You will have a loss in softening capacity and may get partly hard water If less than 10 inches (salt monitor level 2) of salt is in the storage tank.
