Tip # 5—Choosing the Right Range
♦ Cook an Entire Meal at Once--Whether you’re cooking for the family or entertaining a crowd, the industry’s largest capacity 30 in. oven helps you get dinner on the table. Look for Kenmore® exclusive 5.8 cu. ft. oven capacity.
♦ Clean Up in No Time--Sealed gas burners, dishwasher-safe grates and smooth glass tops make for easy cleanup.

Tip #4—Choosing the Right Cooktop
♦ Peace of Mind--Induction cooking heats the pan directly rather than the whole cooktop, keeping the cooktop cool when the pan is removed. Also, easy to clean! Look for: Kenmore® induction cooktops.
♦ Faster, More Powerful Cooking--A powerful burner provides America’s fastest “speed to boil” element. Look for: Kenmore® exclusive TurboBoil™ on select radiant cooktops.
♦ A Smarter Burner--This element heats up when it detects a metal pan and automatically turns off when it’s removed. Look for: Kenmore® exclusive
