Electrolux Makes
Many Improvements
Improvements in the design and
styling of the 1938 Electrolux Gas
Refrigerator have resulted in a
still greater charm of outward ap
pearance over that of previous
years, as well as making the refri
gerator more serviceable than ever
through the addition of new conyen
jences. according to W. J. Barber,
assistant to the general manager,
of the Metropolitan Utilities D s
trict. who has announced that the
new 1938 models are now on display
in the company’s salesrooms. Pro
visions for easier facility in obtain
ing ice cubes in the deluxe models
is one of the important features.
“Carrying out a rule that is fast
becoming a tradition, Electrolux
engineers have pi’oduced a new
model for 1938 that excels that of
1937 jurt as the 1937 model excel
led that of the previous year, Mr.
Garber stated. ' Aiming to give the
buying public the best there is in
modern automatic refrigeration,
Electrolux engineers work year in
and year out to keep the gas refri
gerators absolutely up to date.
“Of course, the 1938 gas refriger
eetor contains a freezing unit that
differs from other automatic refri
gerators in that it has no moving
parts, thus assuring silence, long
life and economy and which has
become so popular in recent years
that more than a million such re
i'rigerators have been installed in
the city and rural homes of the
United States and Canada.
All the new 1938 modtls are pro
vided with a concealed or ‘disap
pearing hinge’ which eliminates all
hinge parts from the exterior of
the cabinet, thus permanently re
moving any projections or openings
“As simple as a twist of the
wrist is the method of getting the
ice trays out of the refrigerator.
Just as easy is the removal of the
ice cubes from the trays. There is
no longer any need to jerk and haul
or use hot water to dislodge the
trays. There is this new device, a
rUease lever, which one merely
lifts upgently and which at once
frees the tray without a struggle.
“A new stainless stetl ice cube
release ends the ‘ice oube fight' for
ever. All one needs to do is exert
a slight pressure on the release and
the Ice cubes are quickly expelled,
either all togeitfjer or one at a time.
•
‘ The entire operation of getting
the cubes out of the refrigerator
and into the pan requires only a
few seconds. It has been estimated
that 20 per cent more ice can be
obtained by this new improvement
because there is no loss in melting
as there is no need to place the
tray of Ice cubes under the faucet
to dislodge them. No expense has
been spared in developing this new
way of getting ice cubes at a min
imum effort on the part of the
user. One just presses the ends of
the grid and out pop the ice cubes.
No loss, no fuss.”
A door in front of the freezing
unit, a new feature of the 1938
models, resul’s in less frost aecum
ulation. The door also adds to the
attractiveness of the interior of the
