If you see a diagonal line across the display screen of your new control board, that's the protective film. No worries, it's easy to remove. Follow the instructions below.
1. Remove the top cover:
- On the back of the unit, you'll need to unhook the two clips that hold the cover onto the tank below (see photo below). Flex/pull the cover out and away from the softener at these clips.
- There are two similar clips holding the front of the cover on as well. Go ahead and slide the cover towards you to release these clips. Be careful not to disconnect any wires. It's normal for the plastic cover to produce some noise as it shifts and bends.
2. Locate the control board on the underside of the cover.
With Plastic Cover
Squeeze both sides of the shell to remove cover.
Without Plastic Cover
3. You'll see there are four tabs that hold each corner of the board to the lid. You want to remove the board by pulling the tab outward away from the control board to release it.
4. Now, with the board in your hands, you're ready to peel the thin protective film off the control board screen. Great!
5. Go ahead and snap the board back into the top cover and return the cover to the top of the softener.
