D. CHECKLIST ... TO HELP YOU SAVE MONEY

If your water softener fails to work make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what's wrong your-

self 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, call your Sears Service Department.

Note:

1. Also read ERROR CODE, page 2-3.

2.If an error code is not displayed, press and hold the SELECT button until the display changes. Then, press

the SELECT button again and hold until a flashing SR code appears. It must show SR29 for UltraSoft 250 or

SR33 for UltraSoft 275. If any other number shows, the face plate computer is working on incorrect input and

would probably be the cause of the problem. To set SR29 or SR33, press either the UPI_ or DOWN(_ button. When correct model code shows, press SELECT to return a flashing 12:00 AM display. Reset the present time, hardness number, etc., pages 1-3 and 1-4.
