WARRANTY SEARS RESIDENTIAL WATER SOFTENER FULL ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON WATER SOFTENER For one year from the date of purchase, when this water softener is installed and maintained in accordance with our instructions, Sears will repair, free of charge, defects in material or workmanship in this water softener. FULL TEN YEAR WARRANTY AGAINST LEAKS For ten years from the date of purchase, Sears will furnish and install a new current model water softener tank or salt storage drum, free of charge, if either the tank or drum develop a leak. TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE, SIMPLY CONTACT THE NEAREST SEARS SERVICE CENTER THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. This warranty applies only while this product is in use in the United States. [. . . ] Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the softener as shown in FIG. Make a pencil mark on the handle, 1 or 2 below the top height of the rim. Then, carefully push it straight down into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark gets to the top of the tank, it's most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in a few places to break it. Do not try to break the salt bridge by pounding on the outside of the salt tank. If the wrong kind of salt made the bridge, take it out. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only. FIG. 9 SALT BRIDGE push tool into salt bridge to break 1" ­ 2" Pencil Mark Broom Handle Salt Salt Bridge Water Level 15 SECTION 3 3B. CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN NOTE: Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives. They may scratch and dull the surface. COVERS To keep your new Kenmore water softener looking nice, apply a coat of paste wax and repeat once a year. When dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it sparkling. NOZZLE & VENTURI A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 10) is a must for the softener to work right. This small unit moves brine from the salt storage tank to the resin tank during regeneration. If it becomes plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc. , the softener will not work and you will get hard water. To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the softener top cover. Be sure the softener is in service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and venturi), then turn off the cap from the nozzle and venturi housing. Lift out the screen support and screen, then the nozzle and venturi. Wash and rinse the parts in warm water until clean. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Also check and clean the gasket flow plugs and screens. Carefully replace all parts in the correct order. Lubricate the o ring seal with silicone grease or Vaseline and place in position. [. . . ] The valve remains positioned in service until the electronic timer initiates the next regeneration. 27 SECTION 6 REPAIR PARTS KENMORE WATER SOFTENERS MODEL NOS. 625. 348570 AND 625. 348590 3 2 1 28 PART DESCRIPTION KEY NO.
