dure on Page 27.

the fill position unless fill time has been otherwise
set. If stopped at Fill, press the RIGHT (4) button
again to advance to the next position.

cam agrees with the position displayed on the screen

the drain hose. If flow is slow, check for a plugged
top distributor, backwash flow plug or drain hose
*
If the 2nd Backwash option is set (See Page 22), the valve
