Kenmore 7146611 - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
This manual gives you the steps needed to install your
new Sears Kenmore Water Filter, To better understand
how the water filter is installed, and to know what you will
need, please read this entire manual before beginning.
After you have installed the water filer, the included Own­
ers Manual tells you how to start, program, operate and
maintain it. The owners manual also has the product war­
ranty, and a listing or repair parts available from Sears.
Your Sears Water Filter will improve your water supply as
described in your owners manual. It will not soften hard
water, or remove iron (except for the Automatic Iron Filter
that does remove iron). The filter will not purify contami­
nated water, or make other unsafe water safe to drink.
NOTE:
Sears recommends installing a water softener AFTER an
Automatic Iron Filter. In addition to softening the water,
the water softener will remove iron that may escape
through the iron filter.
Sears sells a complete line of water treating equipment
to correct various water problems. To be sure you have
the proper type and size equipment, you must have your
water tested. Your Sears store can give you water test re­
sults for hardness, iron and acidity and tell you what
equipment you need. Simply take at least a 4 oz, sample
of your water to Sears, and they will test it while you wait.
To test for other elements, a qualified testing laboratory
must test the water. IF YOU NEED HELP TO GET YOUR
WATER TESTED, OR IF YOU HAVE OTHER OUESTIONS
