n Press the UP/DOWN buttons to set

your water hardness number in the display. The DOWN button moves the display to 1. The UP button moves the display to the highest setting (see maximum setting for your model in the specifica- tions).

NOTE:

If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the water hardness number. For example, assume your water is 15 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each 1 ppm of iron. In this example, you would use 25 for your hardness number.

2 ppm iron x 5 = 10	15 gpg hardness
