    Sonowasher, (2) The Sonoshower, (3) The Toilet.  All three are designed
    to be used under weightless conditions.  Please observe the sequence of
    operations for each individual facility.

    seconds required.  The knob to the left, just below the blue light  has

    is suggested.

    switching to  the "ON"  position the  clearly marked  red switch.   If,
    during the washing  operation, you wish  to change the  settings, place
    the "manual off" over-ride switch  in the "OFF" position.  You  may now
    make the change and repeat the cycle.
