This model doesn't have it, but the TOL Lady K, of the same year, did in FACT have a 'SCOOTS' button.  

What's a SCOOTS button?

Technical specs on a few select Kenmore TOL models showed the 'scoots' button was actually a mini garage door opener for the closeable Lady K console. 

Problem is, when it's shut, the scoots button becomes inaccessible, thus, requiring the arduous task of actually lifting the panel to open it.  (shaking head)

They apparently decided including a remote control was too expensive back then, so.... 

Close-up of the much sought after 'scoots' button.

I should have added, to my expose' of the awsome scoots button, a qualifier :    ;-)
