I've seen the sweetness from extract back when I was doing extract batches. This may have been partly covered, but it looks like this all "boils down" to oxidized extract and no aeration.
I'd say to throw out the instructions and get a copy (or online) of "How to Brew" and follow those steps instead. Fresher LME or DME around the end of the boil and shake the fermenter well before pitching yeast. Cheers! :beer:
