SMOKELESS BROILING!
Only gas lets you broil steaks and chops indoors with
that wonderful live-flame flavor of outdoor cooking.
Won’t smoke up kitchen walls and curtains because
gas broils with the door closed! The gas flame itself
consumes smoke and vapors.
EASIEST TO CLEAN!
Parts remove easily—wash clean in a jiffy. Surfaces
are smooth with rounded corners—porcelain enamel
and handsome chrome stay lustrous and bright. Gas is
the cleanest, most dependable cooking fuel there is.
Amazing! Just set it and forget it. Controls govern
both time and temperature . . . turn oven on and
off automatically whether you're out of the kitchen
or out of the house. Handy window allows you to see
your food cooking.
Matchless modern convenience! Grill hamburgers,
bacon, eggs, pancakes . . . they won’t burn, can’t
burn, because the "Burner with the Brain” adjusts
the flame to maintain desired heat. Grease drains
off quickly . . . won’t smoke. Easy to clean.
