SET PRESENT TIME OF DAY

If the words PRESENT TIME do not show in the display, press the SELECT1 button until they do show in the dis- play. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the present time. Press UP to move the display ahead; press DOWN to move the time backward. If the present time is between noon and midnight, be sure PM shows.

To set the water hardness number, complete the following steps:

1. Press the SELECT1 button once to display 25 (flashing)

and HARDNESS. The grains per gallon (gpg) hardness

of your water supply is on your water analysis report. Be

sure to enter water test results on the Facts & Figure

Chart on page 3.

2. If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by

adding to the water hardness number. For example,

assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm

iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each I ppm of

iron. In this example, you would use 30 for your hard-

ness number.

2 ppm iron x 5 = 10

20 gpg hardness

3.Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set your water hard- ness 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 specifications).

NOTE: Each press of the UP or DOWN button changes the display by 1 between 1 and 25. Between 25 and the highest number, the display changes 5 at a time (25, 30, 35, etc.) Holding the UP or DOWN button in changes the display twice each second.

3.Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the desired recharge starting hour. Be sure to observe the AM- PM as you did when setting the present time of day.

Note: Each press of the UP or DOWN buttons changes the display one hour. Holding the but- tons in changes the display twice each second.

SET SALT TYPE (sodium chloride or potassium cloride)

To set the salt type, complete the following steps:

1.Press the SELECT 1 button to display nACl, the default setting.

SET REGENERATION TIME

To complete setting the regeneration time, complete the following steps:

1.Press the SELECT1 button to display 2:00 AM (flashing) and RECHARGE TIME.

2.At the 2:00 AM recharge time setting, the softener begins regeneration (see pages 26 - 28) at 2:00 AM. This is a good time in most households because water is not being used. If a different recharge time setting would be better for your household, complete the follow- ing step.

2.If you want to use potassium chloride (KCl) instead of standard sodium chloride (NaCl) water softener salt, be sure to set KCl in the display by using the UP button. The KCl setting adjusts regeneration cycle times to compensate for the variable dissolving rate of potassium chloride. Refer to page 20 for infor- mation on various salts.

3.Press the SELECT button once again, to complete initial programming, and the current time of day shows in the display.
