G-E Calrod Units
Are Self-Cleaninq

ANY food spillage does not stay
on G-E Calrod units to smoke and
smell and harden" says o. T.
Craig of the Craig Furniture Co.
Unlike solid-top units. spillage
passes Immediately between the
coiled Calrod sections, and is guild
ed by a single aluminium pan into
the drip tray. For example. when
beans are spilled on the Calrod
unit. they pass Immediately be-
tween the Calrod coils and down
into the drip tray. The drip tray
is made of porcelain enamel and
can be easily removed and cleaned.
The single aluminium pan under
the Calrod unit slides out easily
and may be washed whenever nee
essary with your utensils. The
Calrod coil is made of non-corro-
sive high-heat metal known as
1nconel, the bright ring around
the unit is solid stainless steel
highly chrome plated; and the pan
Is of long-life aluminium. There Is
nothing to rust or wear out.

Moisture Control
One Of F eaiures

The ovens of most General Eiec-
trio ranges are equipped with a
no-stain vent and oven moisture
control. This vent eliminates
streaking of kitchen walls, saves
money In kitchen redecorating
costs.
How does il provide better cook
ing results? The no-stain vent
controls oven humidity. Whenever
there is constant passage Of
air through an oven, foods are
dried out. they shrink in volume,
lose flavor.
Control OF oven humidity Is ac-
complished in the GsE oven first
because the heat is produced in
side the oven, not outside, and
then carried through on a blast Of
air (the G-E range has an oven
not a wind tunneD. and second,
because of the battling arrange
ment the no-stain vent provides,
humidity is controlled. Fo 8
cooked in the G-E retain their mois-
ture TO a greater extent, they
shrink less and taste better.

Position Of Switches
Is Result OF Research

Switches on a General Electric
range are conveniently placed for
adults. but out of the reach of
little children. The switches To-
Gated on the backsplasher give
high visibility-up where they can
be seen and the positions are
clearly marked in black on the
white switch button. The possi-
bilty OF accidentally humping into
and turning on a switch or the
possibility of little children turn
ing on the switches are reduced
to a minimum.
Additional convenience features
on the General Electric range are:
"a Uses for the Thrift cooker
are embossed on the Cooker lid.
CD A Time and Temperature
chart is permanently fused on the
drip tray surface.
(3l A Broiler meter on the side
of the oven lining measures the
distance between the broiling unit
and food for added convenience.
All Of these convenience fea-
lures give you added pleasure when
ryou cook with a General Electric
fsnge.

FIGHTS IN COLOR

The exclusive G-E Tel-A-Cook
lights in color offer an added con-
venience and simplicity with a
General Electric range. Like a
traffic light, they keep you in
formed at all times concerning the
operation of your range. You can
tell at a glance when the units are
on, which units are heating, and
in what cooking position. Start
on red" cook on green" is the
simple G-E way. Each surface
unit, the thrift cooker. and the
oven have an indicating light. and
each Of the cooking speeds has an
indicating color. No other range
offers this feature for such ease
and certainty in operation. The
chance of leaving any unit on is
minimized because the lights serve
as your warning signal.

Floshlight And Gloss
Used To Demonstrate

An effective way to demonstrate
the cleanliness of electric cooking
is to take a flashlight and hold it
under glass. shining the light
rays on the bottom of the glass.
The light, representing electric
heat, Is produced without flame,
fumes, smoke or SCOT. The glass.
which represents a utensil, is clean
and free from dirt or SCOT. You
can wipe 1t on a clean cloth and it
does not soil the material. Even
when the flashlight il placed on a
table. and the glass inverted over
it. the light continues to burn be-
cause it does not require oxygen.
The air in the glass. representing
the air in your kitchen, stays pure
and clean.

Harold f. Enger, president of

Tacoma way. states that with the
new 1910 speed calrod units one
can heat faster than ever, yet use
less current.
Years of engineering research
and development have resulted in
the production of the new General
Electric calrod heating units. For
many years calrod has been the
fastest, most efficient electric
range heating unit available. These
units give you speed where you
want ito bring food to cook
ing temperature. And G-E calrod
units cook food as fast as food
should properly be cooked.
Calrod has an amazing record.
During the past seven years. more
than four million cslrod coils have
been put in use with less than
1/10th of per cent failing. Pat
ented materials and processes
inconel high heat metal sheathing:
the finest magnesium oxide insul-
ating material; evenly and closely
wound resistance coil (helix); and
the famous hermetic glass seal-all
combined under scientific processes
to make the G-E calrod unit the
finest electric range unit available.
All ranges in the General Elec-
trio line are available at the Enger
Hardware company.
