anumberof
newfeatures
and
operating
characteristics
quite
differentfrom

In

ofuniqueoperating

designedtoincrease

offering
very
highwater

conservation.
Water

TheHFandHFt water

consistsof thehotandcoldwater

Thehot

arelocated

acontrol
signalfrom
theCentralControlUnittomanage
thetemperatureof

aredetermined
bythespecificwashcycle

Toimprove
cleaningofheavily
