3D.HELPFUL HINTS 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 yourself and you won￿t have to call and wait for service. If, after making the checks, your softener still does not work right, call your Sears Service Department, or call toll free, number 1-800-426-9345 for telephone assistance.

NOTE:

1.Also read ERROR CODE, page 10.

2.If an error code is not dispIayed, press and hold the SELECT button until (example: 000- -) shows in the display. Then, press SELECT again and hold until an SR code appears. It must show SR 17. If any other SR number shows, the softener computer is working on incorrect input and this would probably be the cause of

the problem. To set SR 17, press either the UP or DOWN button. Then, press SELECT to return a flashing 12:00 AM display, and reset the timer on page 6.
