Often this same unit also serves the broiler. In other cases the broiler is supplied by an “on and off” switch alone and it is only made in conjunction with the broiler. In still other stoves the three-heat broiler with separate switch is employed. The broiler must be heavily tinned to prevent rust and corrosion and it must have a removable drip pan. In one stove on the market, which has the broiler to the left on the top, the drip pan is fastened to the broiler so that when it is drawn out over the stove for any reason the drippings are caught by the pan and not spattered on the stove top beneath. This is a minor perfection but a very nice one. Some range companies make a unit of a certain size, say “24” or “48,” and if you want a larger size you can simply say “I want two units”--or three, or what not. There are small stoves for yachts and kitchenettes; in fact, the electric stove is as adaptable as a telescope, some have ovens above, some have ovens below, some have broilers above, some below. Some have everything above, some everything below. You can have exactly what you want as to price and style. Some stoves are also equipped with practical plate and food warmers. One very pleasing stove is called a period stove because it has legs that curve and cavort like a period bit of furniture--what period we couldn’t say unless it be early Edison. Then, too, there are combination coal and electric ranges, for there are those persons who must have both--and as they are beautifully combined they make a neat and effective unit in the kitchen. There are portable stoves and stoves that are built-in; that is, the stove that can be very simply moved from place to place if necessary, and the one that is backed into the wall and would leave a scar if it were moved. Of course the huge stoves are of the built-in type, but they, too, come with legs and are better adapted to removal. ELECTRIC MEASUREMENTS For these electric stoves, special wiring must be effected. They cannot be attached to the ordinary electric socket. It is necessary when ordering a stove to give the voltage of your electric supply. The stoves are usually prepared for 110 volts with two-wire service from street or 110-220 volts with three-wire service. In some stoves the cut-out box is built on the range directly back of the switches. This, then, can be easily opened if anything happens. In the stock stove an extra charge is made for voltage exceeding 220 or less than 110, because alterations have to be made.
