14. Q. Why Do Most Electric Ovens Have Shelf Type Doors?
A. This type of door cannot sag, as do swing doors, thus creating drafts of cold air within the oven. Also, they serve as a convenient shelf in placing pans in, or taking them out of the oven.
15. Q. Can the User Depend on an Electric Oven Thermostatic Control?
A. The hydraulic type control is so designed that the bulb can be placed in the desired oven position to insure accurate temperatures while the control knob can be located in that position which is most convenient for the user.
16. Q. Does the Automatic Oven Control Increase Economy for Electric Range Users?
A. Yes. By providing no more heat than is needed to maintain the required temperature this control avoids waste of electricity.
17. Q. Some Electric Ranges Have Two Units for Heating the Oven. Others Only Have One. What Is the Essential Difference?
A. First, two units give a greater degree of flexibility and a more even distribution of heat throughout the oven. Also, they allow the use of the upper unit for broiling in a more convenient position. The single unit oven is not as convenient because broiling is done on the lower part of the oven and it lacks the type of heat distribution made possible by two units.
18. Q. Does the Electric Oven Give Off Much Heat in the Kitchen During Baking or Roasting?
A. Because electric heating elements require no air supply for combustion, the oven is completely insulated on all six sides, thus giving off practically no heat.
