Operating Settings.
1 - Shutter will assume mid-position (F/D) if not supplied with vacuum.
2 - Direct connection between ports 7 and 8 is used only in MAX setting. Connection between 3 and 7 is then sealed.
3 - When temperature control is approx. 10 mm from max. COOL or to right of it, air is admitted to port 1 of water valve vacuum switch and valve is open since it is not supplied with vacuum.
With function selector at MAX and temperature selector set to "HOT", port 3 is sealed and vacuum is supplied directly from 8 to 7. The water valve is closed to obtain cooling even if the temperature control is not set to "COOL".
