Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using your new water soften- er. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install. Failure to follow them could cause personal injury or property damage. Reading this book will also help you to get all of the benefits from your water softener.

Your Kenmore Water Softener will remove hardness minerals from water. This is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). It will also remove some clear water iron*, barium and radium 226/228"*. These are measured in parts per million (ppm). See the specifications page for the maximum limits of hardness and iron, barium and radium 226/228 removal.

A water softener will not improve other water problems such as acidity, tastes and odors, or

iron other than clear water iron. It will not purify contaminated water, or make unsafe water safe to drink.

Check with your local public works department for plumbing, electric and sanitation codes. You must follow their guides as you install your softener. Use only LEAD FREE SOLDER AND FLUX, as required by federal and state codes, when installing soldered copper plumb- ing.

Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Damage from freezing voids the softener war- ranty. See how to protect from freezing on page 34.

CAUTION: Please read and comply with the following guides to prevent damage to the sof- tener or other property, personal injury, or possible fatal shock.

This softener works on 24 volts only. Be sure to use only the transformer included.

Plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is grounded and properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer is replaced, use only the authorized service Class II, 24 volt, 10 VA transformer.

•Unplug the transformer right away if the power cable should become damaged or frayed. Make repairs, or replace the transformer, before plugging back into the power outlet.

•Always unplug the softener from electrical power before removing outer valve covers.

•This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

*The capacity to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by WQA test data.

**If conditioner is being used to remove barium and/or radium 226 and 228, please verify per- formance by contacting 612-607-1700, ext. 6470 for testing treated water supply, or check the water testing section of your local phone directory.

European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of according to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for proper disposal of this equipment.
