Anleitung Zusammenfassung
Heat from the sun can soften, flatten and close up some kinds of tubes. To adapt a copper drain tube to the softener, buy a compression fitting (1/4" female pipe threads x 1/2" O.D. tube) and tubing from your local hardware store. CONNECT SALT TANK OVERFLOW TUBING 1. Locate the rubber grommet, tube adaptor and tube clamp (see Fig. 16) that are in the parts bag. 2. Push the grommet into the hole in the salt tank wall so half is inside and half is outside. 3. Push the bigger end of the tube adaptor into the grommet. 4. Push one end of a length of 3/8" I.D. tubing onto the tube adaptor, using the tube clamp to hold it in place. 5. Put the other end of the tubing over the floor drain. IMPORTANT: Overflow water must run downward through the tubing. Do not raise the tubing higher than the grommet and tube adaptor. See Fig. 16. IMPORTANT: Do not connect to the valve drain hose you installed in step 1. Both drains must have a separate hose or tube. NOTE: Overflow drain tubing is available from Sears.

Fully open two cold, soft water faucets near the softener. 2. Look at the pictures in Fig. 18 and 19 to determine your kind of bypass valve(s). Place bypass valve(s) in "bypass" position. On a single valve, slide the stem inward to bypass. On a three (3) valve system, close the inlet and outlet valves and open the bypass valve. 3. Fully open the house main water pipe shutoff valve. Observe steady water flow from both open faucets. 4. Place bypass valve(s) in SERVICE EXACTLY as follows: Keep soft water faucets open. a. Single Bypass Valve: Slowly, slide pull the valve stem outward toward service, pausing several times to allow the softener to pressurize slowly. b. Three Valve Bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. Slowly, open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the softener to pressurize slowly. 5. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet for about one minute, or until all air is expelled, then close. 6. Close both cold water faucets. 7. Check your plumbing work for leaks and fix right away if any are found. Be sure to observe previous caution notes. NOTE: If this procedure is performed on a new softener, water coming from the taps may initial ly be discolored. This normally occurs the first time water runs through the resin bed. The discolored water is not harmful, and the discoloration will not last more than a few minutes.

Call The Kenmore Water Line 1-800-426-9345 INSTALLGROUNDINGCLAMPBETWEEN THESOFTENERINAND OUT PIPES The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electrical outlets in the home. Outlets are grounded to protect you from shock when you touch any electric appliance plugged into the outlet. If you installed the single bypass valve, the cold water pipe ground is broken. See Fig. 20 and 21. IMPORTANT: Be sure the cold water pipe has direct metal to metal contact all the way to the ground. Plastic, rubber or other electrically insulating parts such as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets can break the direct metal to metal contact. Also check the water meter (city water) or the well pump. Install #4 copper jumper wires, clamped tightly on both ends, across insulated parts. See Fig. 21. To restore the ground, take the ground clamp kit that is in the parts bag. Install across the inlet and outlet copper tubes. See Fig. 20. Be sure good contact is made between the pipe and the clamps. ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLET FOR YOUR SOFTENER The softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electric power. The included transformer changes standard 120 volt AC house power to 24 volts. You must plug the transformer into a grounded, 120 volt outlet only. Be sure t...
