A. FACEPLATE TIMER FEATURES

	regeneration				(recharge)		may	be

C	ples	are:

•SET SALT LEVEL

'lb set this monitor system, lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in

the storage tank. The salt level de- SET SALT LEVEL0

cal, on the brinewell inside the

tank, has numbers from 0 to 8.

Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at, or closest to. Now press the UP or DOWN buttons un-

til the number corresponds with the salt level num-

ber. At level 2 or below, the indicator LED will flash. If you wish to turn this feature off, press the DOWN button past 0, and the word "OFF" flashes in the dis- play. Note: You must set salt level each time salt is added to the water softener.

• PROGRAM MEMORY

If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical pow- er comes on again, you have to reset the present

time only if the display is flashing. The HARD-

NESS, RECHARGE TIME and SAUF 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.

•	EFFICIENCY			MODE

(May recharge			more		often		using
