important Safety instructions

• When heating fat or grease, watch itclosely. Fat or

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containersRBuildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure, ifthe power fails, always turn

the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for
the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting itto the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with

one or more surface units of different sizes. Select

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose

a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and

may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• 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.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu-

mulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.

Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective

liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric

shock or fire or short circuit.

Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break-

ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

Do not use decorative surface element covers, ifan
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover

will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the

hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to

the cooktop.

FOR COOKTOPSWITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

• Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be
immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.

• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place.
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop

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

ately.

• Clean cooktop glass with caution--If a wet sponge or

cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can

produce harmful fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer

(if equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam

escape before you remove or replace food in the oven /

warmer drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is

located at right side of the front panel and visible
when the oven door is open. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or

ignite.

• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)
Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location

while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. ifrack

must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to

reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

important Safety instructions

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.

Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the

appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before

removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-
ING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the

hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• in the self=cleaning cycle, only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the

oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods
from the oven.

• 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.

Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket is essen-
tial for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Setting Surface Controls

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below
the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop

outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure
the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element

outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the
cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type

and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and
their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat

that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements.

The areas surrounding the elements may become

hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the
selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range isequipped with radiant surface burners with
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as

follows:

- two 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left
rear positions;

- two 9/12 inch Double elements located at the right and
left front positions;

- a Warmer Zone located at the center rear position;

\ \

\

Figure 1

Note: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section

and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and
Care Guide.

Note: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element

to cycle on and off, even at the Hi setting. This helps to

prevent damage to the ceramic glass cooktop. Cycling at the
Hi setting is normal and can also occur ifthe cookware is

too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is

not flat (Refer to page 14 for using correct cookware
instructions with the cooktop).

Note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will
turn green when the element is first turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white
color after it has completely cooled down.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may

still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface istouched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) feature provides a digital display
of the radiant surface elements on the cooktop. The ESEC display in combination
with the touch pads is designed to replace conventional control knobs.

The available ESEC Window Display Settings

The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure

6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3)
decrease or increase in increments of ,5 (1/2), The settings between 3.0 (Figures 3
& 4) and 1.2 (Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in
increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise
settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart to
determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing,

Hot Element message

After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot.
After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some
time. The "HE" message (Figure 8) will appear in its associated display whenever
any of the element positions is still HOT and the element has been turned OFF,
The Hot Element message will remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the
cooktop has cooled sufficiently,

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the Cooktop
Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is active, " =="
will appear in any display window (See Figure 9).

Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing
red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates
the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

Note: The Hot Element message will remain displayed on the control panel as long as the

element is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently,

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned
off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur ifthe glass surface istouched

before it has cooled sufficiently,

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could

melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the
surface elements,

To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature _COOKTOP

The clock _ pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout feature which will lock all surface elements from being
accidentally turned ON. This feature will only lock the cooktop.

iNSTRUCTiONS

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature ON:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.

2. Press and hold _ until "CLO" appears (Figure 1). Continue

holding until a second beep sounds (after 3 seconds). If a triple beep
sounds instead, check all surface elements and turn them to the OFF

position and repeat this step. I_1will appear inthe display indicating
the cooktop controls and functions are locked out until the cooktop is

unlocked (See Figure 2).

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:

How the Electronic Surface Element Controls work when the Sabbath feature is ON.

When your Oven Sabbath feature is ON, the Electronic Surface Elements are also in Sabbath mode. This means that all
electronic surface element control displays show "Sb". The surface elements can be used even if the Sabbath Feature is

on.

To turn ON a Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Feature is active:
If you turn on a surface element when the oven Sabbath feature is on, the electronic surface element control will record

that request and execute it with a 15-30 seconds delay. So the element will start heating 15-30 seconds after the surface
element control was turned on. As the oven control, the surface element display will not show the setting because "Sb" is
on in the displays. When necessary, it is possible to adjust the power of the surface element but you have to remember
that the surface element control will adjust the temperature with the same delay.

To turn OFF the Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Mode is active:
To shut off the surface element while the Sabbath feature is ON, proceed as usual but take note that the element will

immediately turn off without any delay.

Note: Refer to page 32-33 to activate the Sabbath Feature.

Surface Cooking

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface heating

element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1).
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size
and type of

cookware used
will influence the

setting needed for
best cooking

results.

Cookware Material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will
resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum
above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST iRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN=ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel

coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented through its upper front frame. When
the oven ison, hot air is released through the vents. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven

and good baking results.

Note: Always use caution when removing food.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in

the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting

the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible.
Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

Setting Convection Bake

The CONVECTION BAKE _n'_
the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can be

programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170° F (77 ° C) to
550 ° F (288 ° C).

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously
within the oven (See Figure 1).This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even
cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3
racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection bake
cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional bake. This oven is
equipped with multiple fan speeds for even cooking when baking and better tasting
meats when roasting. It will use a slower fan speed for convection baking. The
slow fan speed slowly and evenly moves the air through the cavity and produce
lighter flakier crusts for pies and evenly brown cookies.

General Convection Bake Instructions

1. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be
cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very

low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on
pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection
Bake.

3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position
2 or 3. if cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and

Setting Convection Roast

This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. The oven can be programmed to
convection roast at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C). Remember to use tested recipes with times
adjusted for convection roasting when using the convection mode. Times may be reduced by as much as 30% when
using the convection feature. This oven is equipped with multiple fan speeds for even cooking when baking and better
tasting meats when roasting. It will use a faster fan speed for roasting which will quickly strip the cold air away from the
meats replacing it with warm air (making a crisp outside - type of searing) sealing in juices for better tasting meats.

Setting the Slow Cook Feature

The _ SLOW COOK pad is used to activate this feature. The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods

v

slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provides cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The
Slow Cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats
becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.

There are 2 settings available, high (HI) or low (LO). The maximum cook time for the Slow Cook feature is 12 hours unless
the oven control has been changed to the Continuous Bake mode.This feature may be used with the additional settings of
a Timed Bake Slow Cook (see Timed Bake beginning with step 5-7) or a Delayed Start Bake Slow Cook (see Delayed
Start Bake steps 6-10).

Below is a list of preparation and cooking tips you should review for best possible results using Slow Cook:

Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook feature.

When using a single rack, place in position 2 or 3 (see figure 1 on page 15).

Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food items.
Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the

Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat content, bone & the shape of the meat.
Use the recipe's recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine

powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Porcelain oven racks do not have to be removed. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make
the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers inthe oven cavity before starting the

Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high

temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content

(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on

the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door

gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These

areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.

What to Expect during Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher
than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and
contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.

Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and

cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should

not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning

cycle.

To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door

after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Self-Clean Cycle Time Length

The FLEX CLEAN @ pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. Ifyou are planning to
use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to

cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3
hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for
average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

CLEANDOOR

This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven
during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It

is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable
oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the

sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to

slide.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1

solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp
cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future

heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT

immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to
enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh
abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket or it will be damaged. The oven door gasket is

made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good

seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent andproperc ean ng essent a tomaintainingyourCerami€g assoooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface
(on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or
no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal

markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after

\

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

_ Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOk.

[

the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become
permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch
the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do

not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook
foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard
objects on the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.

_ DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can /

chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no

residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type no=scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for
any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils, then apply a
few drops of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop sur-
face) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements
OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same
method for heaw or burned on soils.

General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some
nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to

clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven

cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or
lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of aluminum ismuch lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots

or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (StainlessSteel models only)

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining
the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning
