CHECKLIST TO HELP YOU SAVE MONEY

If your water softener fails to work, make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what is wrong yourself and you won't have to call and wait for service. If you do not find anything wrong, while making the checks, and your sof- tener still does not work, call your Sears Service Department.

1.Also read ERROR CODE.

2.If an error code is not displayed, press and hold the SELECT button until the display changes. Then, press the SELECT button again and hold until a flashing model code appears. For Model No. 625.383560 it must show

S 32. If any other number shows, the face plate computer is working on incorrect input and would probably be the cause of the problem. To set the correct code, press either the UP or DOWN button. When correct model code (S 32) shows, press SELECT to return a flashing 12:00 AM display. Reset the present time, hardness number, etc.
