California Efficiency Requirement

Your Kenmore Water Softener has a "High Effi- ciency" feature with an "ON" or "OFF" setting.

This softener setting is shipped in the "OFF"

position, which utilizes the maximum rated ca-

pacity while most often achieving maximum salt

efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State

of California, you MUST turn this setting to the "ON" position which may initiate more frequent

recharges, however it will operate at 4000 grains per pound of salt or higher.

If you wish to turn the Salt Efficiency feature "ON" (_ icon will show in display), follow the

instructions in the Faceplate Timer Features, Sec- tion 2 of this manual.

NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation

by a licensed plumber. For installation, use plumbing code

248- CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
