Faceplate Timer Features

California Efficiency Requirement

Your Kenmore Water Softener has a “High Efficiency” feature with an “ON” or “OFF” setting. This softener setting is shipped in the “OFF” position, which utilizes the maximum rated capacity while most often achiev- ing 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.

EFFICIENCY MODE

When this feature is ON, the water softener will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per pound of salt or higher. (May recharge more often using smaller salt dosage and less water). Installations in the state of California require this setting to be turned ON. This softener is shipped in the OFF setting.

To turn this setting ON:

1.Press and hold the SELECT button until the display shows 000--.

2.Then press (do not hold) the SELECT button again. Use the UP arrow to turn ON.

3.Press SELECT to enter and return to normal running screen. The efficiency icon will only be displayed when this feature is ON.

PROGRAM MEMORY

If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time dis- play is blank but the face plate timer keeps the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical power comes on again, you have to reset the present time only if the dis- play is flashing. The HARDNESS, RECHARGE TIME and SALT LEVEL never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works as it should to keep your water soft, however, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer to the correct time of day.

ERROR CODE

An error code could appear in the face plate display if a problem occurs in the softener electronics. Turn to the Troubleshooting section to resolve the problem and/or call the Kenmore Water Line number listed below.
