New High Standards
IN 1860 Frigidaire
Home Appliances

New high standards of conven-
ience, function and styling elegance
have been achieved by designers of
Frigidaire's 1860 home appliances,
dealer here.
First showing in this locality of
stylish new refrigerators, featuring
Frost-Proof freezing systems, and
electric ranges with two pull-Out
ovens, is scheduled for next week
in the showrooms of o., B. Bach
store at the Plaza Square, he an
nounced.
Latest styling idea for appli-
ances, he pointed out, is Frigid-
aires new sculptured sheer look.
Sophisticated, but completely fem
Iinine-gem-like in appearance, but
strictly functional-the new de-
sign is a superb blend of classic,
squared-up styling lines combined
with a decorative touch of new
open-circled filigree and subtle
metal sculrturing in doors and
base panels. The clean, uncluttered
architectural lines, so popular in
today's kitchens, have been retained
in the new appliances by Frigidaire
stylists.
Highlighting the important adj
yancements in the 1860 Frigidaire
household refrigerators are Frost
Proof refrigerator-freeze models
in which messy defrosting is COM
pletely eliminated and extra stor-
age space provided for food pack
ages. The remarkable Frost-Proof
system provides true frost preven-
ton, even in the freezer section, in
stead of permitting frost to collect,
then melting it away. None of the
complexities of the freeZe-thaw-
freeze routine of ordinary automa-
tic defrosting systems are present
in Frost-Proof freezing.
Newest Frost-Proof unit is a 13-
cubic-foOt 2-door Imperial model
with rOomy freezer across the bot
tom. In addition there is 15-cubic-
foot 2-door Imperial Frost-Proof
refrigerator-freezer, plus two other
| frostless 13's.
All refrigerators in the 14-mOdel
line are equipped with a new mag
netic seal which silently pulls the
door shut, hugging it tight against
the cabinet sealing surface.
Imperial models have effective
new FLOWING cold" meat storage
drawers which keep fresh meats
fresh up to seven days. Also feat
ured are newly designed storage
shelves made of graceful, but stur-
dy aluminium rods, which not only
are easier to clean but permit more
effective air circulation and light
ing.
Newest idea in oven cleaning con-
venience for electric ranges are

each of which pulls out of the cab
met like a drawer, permitting the
homemaker to wipe off the bottom,
sides and even the back wall from
the open top without STOPPING.
squatting or stretching. The sealed
heating unit at the top is fixed into
position and remains inside when
the oven is pulled out.
And for the first time, there is
a 3O-inch electric range which
C m n es Nthe convenience of
French door design with the pull
out oven cleaning feature. The pull
out oven is available in eight of the
II new 1860 Frigidaire range mo-
dels. A Delux electric range with a
divided cooking top is another new
addition this year.
Infinite heat controls for surface
units permit the homemaker 10 set
any cooking heat she desires. An
other advancement is a new heat
minding device that can be set for
degrees of heat required for a part
icular dish, thus permitting the
hOmemaker to use the range top
with the same ease and accuracy as
oven cooking.

styled in dark blue and silver,
merge cleaning chromium, plastic,
glass and aluminium into a jewel
like setting for the easy-to-use
range controls. Base panels feature
the new subtle filigree decor and
sculpturing.
Frigidaire is also introducing six
upright food freezers, including
two Frost-Proof units, and two
chest type models. Frigi-Foam in
sulation, pioneered by Frigidaire,
makes possible a whole cubic foot
of extra storage space in new 16-
cubic foot Frost-Proof units when
compared to conventional freezers
with the same exterior dimensions.
Frigidaire appliance coIors for
1860 range from Aztex copper and
charcoal gray through turquoise,
yellow and pink as well as white.
Refrigerators are available with
right or left hinged doors. A white
porcelain enamel exterior finish is
