Note: The automatic adjustments can, for example, include automatic selection, modification, or contro/ of any of the following:
a) wash water temperature;
b) agitation or tumble cycle time;
c) number of rinse cycles; and spin speed.
An example of the characteristics of the clothes load that could trigger such adjustments is the presence of soil,soap suds, or another additive laundering substitute or complementary product.

These models are divided into
a) non-water-heating clothes washers; and
b) water-heating clothes washers.
