compressor(s), and refrigerant-to-outdoor-air heat exchanger to provide air heating, and which may also provide air cooling, dehumidifying, circulating, and air cleaning.

"Automatic clothes washer" means a class of clothes washer which has a control system which is capable of scheduling a preselected combination of operations, such as regulation of water temperature, regulation of the water fill level, and performance of wash, rinse, drain, and spin functions without the need for user intervention subsequent to the initiation of machine operation. Some models may require user intervention to initiate these different segments of the cycle after the machine has begun operation, but they do not require the user to intervene to regulate the water temperature by adjusting the external water faucet valves.
