These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

The Anti-Tip Bracket

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

follow instructions.

You

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

instructions.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged per installation instructions. Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved. Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

To verify the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged:

Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or wall.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

• See installation instructions for details.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■ WARNING:

THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

■ Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.

■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left

alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.

Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments

■

should never be worn while using the range. User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the

■

range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■ Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame

or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

■ DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

■ Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or

more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

■ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat

Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

■ Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place –

Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF

■ Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,

■

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

■ Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

■ Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating

elements should never be immersed in water.

■ Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

■ Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam

■

escape before removing or replacing food. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of

■

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

■

■ Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is

cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

■

SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

■ Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

■ Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner

or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

■ Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

■ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and

other utensils.

For units with ventilating hood –

■ Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

■ When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

KEY USAGE TIPS

Surface Temperatures

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper,

orother items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above

your set temperature to oset the heat lost when your oven

door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper

temperature. Insert your food when thepreheat tone sounds.

Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning

To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover,

orammonia.

1. Remove food/residue with a cooktop scraper.

■ For best results, use the cooktop scraper while the

cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping

thewarm cooktop.

■ Hold the cooktop scraper at approximately a 45°

angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.

Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.

2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of a cooktop cleaner tothe

aected areas.

■ Rub the cooktop cleaner onto the cooktop surface with

a cooktop cleaning pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.

■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before

proceeding to Step 3.

3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn

orburned-on stains.

The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit (part number 31605) is available for order from sears.com (see the back cover of this Use and Care Guide for additional contact information) and includes the following:

■ Cooktop scraper

■ Cooktop cleaner

■ Blue cooktop cleaning pads

COOKTOP USE

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo. Push in and turn to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow

redwhen an element is on. This is normal operation. The element will also randomly cycle o and back on again, even

while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to

appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping

a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on

the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills

and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware

across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough

nishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or

marks on the cooktop.

■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers

on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that

could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as

a cutting board.

■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking

area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

A. Surface cooking area B. Cookware/canner C. 1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang

■ Use at-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and

energy eciency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,

or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

■ Determine atness by placing the straight edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small

expansion channels can be used.

■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods

directly on the cooktop.

Triple Zone Cooking Element

The Triple Zone cooking element oers exibility depending on

the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine the single, dual, and outer elements and are recommended for larger cookware, larger quantities of food, and home canning.

A C

A. Triple B. Dual C. Single

Turbo Boil Element (right front element)

The Turbo Boil cooking element oers additional cooking exibility. The Turbo Boil cooking element can be used to boil

liquids faster. The lowest heat setting can be used to prepare sauces, to brown or sauté foods, and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Turbo Boil cooking element.

A. Hi heat option B. Melt option

Downdraft Ventilation System

The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors, and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft

ventilation system with the lter properly installed. To avoid the buildup of grease, the lter should be cleaned

often.

For more information on proper lter placement and cleaning,

see “Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element, or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, and a well-tting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-

heavy thickness.

Rough nishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper

may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, an aluminum or copper base can leave permanent marks on the cooktop surface.

Cookware material aects cooking results because it is a

factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred. A nonstick

nish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick nish will take

on the properties of aluminum. Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under

thebroiler.

A. Turbo boil option B. Lower heat option

Check for atness by placing the straight edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the

ruler,no space or light should be visible between it and thecookware.

Use at-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy eciency. The cookware should be about the same size

as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) outside the area.

Use the following table as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Cookware Characteristics Aluminum ■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best

formost cooking tasks.

■ May leave aluminum residues which

may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

Cast iron ■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch

thecooktop.

Ceramic or ceramic glass

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low-to-medium heat

settings

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Copper ■ Heats very quickly and evenly.

■ May leave copper residues which

may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond

to the cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Use on low heat settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Porcelain enamel on steel or cast iron

■ See stainless steel or cast iron.

■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without a

metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.

Stainless steel ■ Heats quickly but unevenly.

■ A core or base of aluminum or

copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth-top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or

element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area

orelement.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or

elements at the same time.

■ On ceramic glass models, use only at-bottomed canners

to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

extension oce or refer to published home canning guides.

Companies that manufacture home canning products can

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a

rare interior, use a at rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should

cook for approximately 21/2 to 31/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

* If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain

nish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door orbottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow

2"(5cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure thatno bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and

table asa guide.

To avoid damage to the sliding rack, do not place more than

25lbs(11.4 kg) on the rack.

Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove

the rack’s lubricant and aect its ability to slide.

See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.

Oven Vent

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven

andshould not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, aecting cooking

and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Baking and Roasting

NOTE: The convection fan will shut o when the oven door

is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the

heating elements will shut o until the oven door is closed.

All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

Preheating

your set temperature to oset the heat lost when your oven

door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Accela Heat

Use the Accela Heat feature whenever you wish to start baking immediately, without the need for preheating. This feature provides good results when preparing convenience foods such as cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza, bacon, french fries, and tator tots. During Accela Heat, the bake and broil elements cycle

on and o while the fan circulates the hot air. Accela Heat is designed for single-rack baking. For best results, use a at

rack in position 3 and bakeware with low or no sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.

Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake time. Check food for doneness at the package time. Food may require a few extra minutes.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and o as

needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve

ovenperformance.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results.

The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and o

in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run

while preheating and may be cycled on and o for short

intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature

isautomatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Steam Bake

The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam into the oven cavity during the Steam Bake cycle. There

are 3preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads,

Desserts, and Fish as well as a Refresh/Reheat option. For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest

available rack position in the cavity and pour 11/2 cups

(350mL) of warm distilled water into the reservoir. Do not ll past the Maxlevel indicated on the reservoir.

NOTE: Using distilled water will help to prevent calcium build-up and mineral deposits.

After the Steam Bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard the water.

A. Steam rack B. Water reservoir

Broiling

NOTE: The convection fan will shut o when the oven door

is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the

heating elements will shut o until the oven door is closed.

All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Lower broil temperature settings add to cooking time but allow for more precise control of cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly

shaped pieces of meat, sh, and poultry may cook better at

lower broil settings. Use rack position 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and o to

maintain the proper temperature.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed

todrain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

To purchase a broiler pan, Part Number 4396923 may be ordered from sears.com. See the back cover of this Use and Care Guide for additional contact information.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the rst few times the

oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Convection Cooking

NOTE: The convection fan will shut o when the oven door

is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the

heating elements will shut o until the oven door is closed.

All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of

airinastandard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helpsmaintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven,

cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing

inmoisture, and yielding crustier breads.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and

convection elements cycle on and o in intervals while the fan

circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and

convection elements cycle on and o.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan

willturn o immediately. It will come back on when the oven dooris closed.

With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. Use the following table as a guide.

Convection Mode Time/Temp. Guidelines

Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature,

possibleshortened cooking time

Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30% Convection Broil Shortened cooking time

Convect Options

Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes

Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts

Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat,

sh, or poultry

RANGE CARE

Clean Cycle

Lo Temp Clean is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odorfree alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.

Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Clean cycle will

notbeactivated until the oven cavity cools down.

To Clean:

1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity

andwipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easilyremoved soils.

2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of distilled or ltered water

onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.

IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.

3. Press LO TEMP CLEAN and then START on the oven control

panel.

4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cooldown. A beep will

sound when the Clean cycle is complete.

5. Press STOP at the end of the cycle. Stop may be pressed at

any time to stop the Clean cycle.

6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge

or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water

willremain inthe oven after the cycle is completed. If

additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water

inthe oven bottom toassist with the cleaning.

7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch

scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean

cyclesmay be run to help remove the stubborn soils.

IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads,

maycause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the

oven interior.

NOTES:

■ The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface

of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Clean cycle.

■ For best results, use distilled or ltered water. Tap water

mayleave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.

■ Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at

the end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the

range and the oor.

■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more

dicult to remove with the Clean cycle.

■ Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser-style cleaning pads

(without cleaners) can be eective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door, and oven bottom for dicult soils. Forbest results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.

■ Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
