It should use the same 240v cords that other ranges use, if I'm not mistaken. They should be available through sears.com for $18.99 each, in 3- and 4-prong versions.

I agree, they SHOULD be. But are they? Can you post the link? or how did you find them? I've looked and lookd. Used every search term I can think of. Why don't they list them right there with the appliance so you can order everything at once? What  surprise to by a $3000 stove and then find out you can't plug it in. That'll be another twenty bucks, sucker.

No range comes with a cord, for a very good reason: homes can have one of two different outlets (3 or 4 prongs). As a result, the manufacturers have two choices: include two cords (one each style) with every range, knowing that half of them are getting thrown in the trash, or make them a separate item. I think you'd agree that the latter is the wiser of the two options.

The cords are here: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/s_10153_12605_Appliances_Cooking+Appliances_Parts+%26+Accessories?keyword=range+cord&sLevel=2

At the store, cords are $18.99, but these are a different brand's product, so these ones are $19.98.

I'll bookmark that page, thanks. I'll have a new service installed. Do I look on the range to see which cord to buy? and then have the right outlet put in? Is this item usually in stock at the store? I've never done this before so I don't know what is usual or what to ask.

If you don't currently have a 240v outlet, the new outlet will be a 4-prong outlet. The cords should be available at any Sears store's appliance section.

I'm going to replace my old 40 amp with all new 50 amp service for the new stove requirement. I will be near a Sears next Saturday so will stop. Thanks for the link, though. I'll probably post it to the gardenweb/appliances forum and maybe the kitchen forum, too. Induction range was a hot topic November/December.

I am thinking about buying the Kenmore induction slide-in range but noticed that it needs 50 amps. The free-standing range from Kenmore (with the exact same elements) and GE model only need 40 amps, which is what my current circuit breaker has. Why does this Kenmore require more amps, or is this a misprint?

Get the answer straight from the horses mouth--the manuals: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals

Thanks to those of you in-the-know for the manual link and your patient posts. I will look into what I need to know about my range circuit before I order so I can be prepared with the right outlets and wires.  I am sure what I currently have is of the old style. I have a question.

When I look at the internet images of the glass top kenmore ranges, it appears that the knobs sit up above the cooktop plane and within striking area of a fast moving cook with pan in hand.  Any history on this, or is it an illusion?

Wow I did not even know they came out with an Induction freestanding stove.  I checked and it shows 40 amp did the specs change?

What knobs?  it is all touch but in the back which I don't like

 

Max. Amp Load: 40
Min. Amp Load: 40 amp circuit min.
Power Source: Electric

 

You can probably reuse whatever cord you have?

 

I have the induction cooktop from Sears.  It works great and you will have fun impressing your friends.  We put a towel over the cooktop to keep it clean and just cook thru it.  Try doing that with another cooktop!

I seem to recall there being a review for one of the induction ranges on sears.com that mentioned 50 amps, and the moderator for reviews added some information about the 50 amps not being necessary, that it's actually 40 amps, and that the information was going to be corrected. 50 amps won't hurt if that's what you already have, though, just like having more cup-holders in your car won't hinder you from storing your one cup of drink. :)
