EFFICIENCY MODE
When this feature is ON, the water softener will oper-
ate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per
pound of salt or higher. The softener may recharge
more often using smaller salt dosage and less water.
This softener is shipped with the efficiency feature set
OFF. Installations in the state of California require this
setting to be turned ON.
To turn this feature 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 /X UP button to turn "ON".

BACKWASH & FAST RINSE TIMES
If you experience salty tasting water after regeneration,
you may need to increase the backwash and fast rinse
times. The cycle times during regenerations are deter-
mined by the softener's electronic controller. However,
you may increase the backwash and fast rinse times, in
1 minute increments, as follows:
1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the display
shows "000 - -" (see Fig. 26).
2. Then press (do not hold) the SELECT button twice to
display the alternating screens shown in Figure 29.

California Efficiency Requirement
Your Kenmore Water Softener has a "High
Efficiency" feature that can be set ON or OFF.
This softener is shipped with the efficiency feature
set OFF, which will utilize the maximum rated
capacity while most often achieving maximum salt
efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State
of California, you MUST turn the efficiency feature
ON. The softener may initiate more frequent
recharges, but it will operate at 4000 grains per
pound of salt or higher.
PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time dis-
play is blank but the electronic controller keeps the cor-
rect time for several hours. When electrical power
comes on again, you will have to reset the present time
only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS,
RECHARGE TIME and SALT LEVEL never require reset-
ting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is
incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works
as it should to keep your water soft, however, regenera-
tions may occur at the wrong time of day until you
reset the clock to the correct time of day.
