There are three temperature controls - fan, water, and seat. Including the temperature icon with each would crowd the display so I use used icons for each type of control.
Not happy the Fan tactile icon is used twice, once for the fan temperature control and one for the fan dry control. Rethinking a tactile icon for dry. A work in progress...
In retrospect, I would change the front and back spray to use a different pointy shape. The front spray is the same shape as a Delay Start tactile icon.
Assuming the flush control is a way to activate the bidet's ultimate function which is why the Start tactile icon is used. The other controls are more like, um, pre-flush.
