1C. PROGRAM THE TIMER
2. SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:
n
Press the #1 SELECT button once to
display 15 (flashing) and HARDNESS.
The grains per gallon (gpg)
hardness of your water sup-
ply is on your water analysis
report. Be sure to enter water
test results on page 2, for
future reference.
NOTE:
If your water supply contains iron, compensate
for it by adding to the water hardness number.
For example, assume your water is 15 gpg hard and
contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for
each 1 ppm of iron. In this example, you would use 25
for your hardness number.
15 gpg hardness
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10 +10
(times) 25 HARDNESS NUMBER

button moves the display to the highest setting
(see maximum setting for your model in the

no later than 4:00 AM. This is a
