In the model Edison kitchenette, the utensils are hung up to avoid unnecessary spinal calisthenics. The sink is near the stove and is high enough to save the back from contortionate bends. All surfaces in the kitchenette should be an inch or so higher than that which the palm of the hand can reach without bending the back. The floors should be cement or hard wood with mat or with linoleum, either cork inlay, tile or brick; the ceiling of a light color paint or tile or brick; the walls the same and all joinings rounded to avoid the cracks at the base of the wall joining the floor, or where the wall and ceiling join. The best kitchenettes are tiled or bricked with generous water vent so that the light hose played on them flushes and cleans them in no time. One of the best arrangements is to have the kitchenette apparatus follow this succession: (See Plan 1) Drop table, closet, sink, work table, refrigerator beneath, shelves above, utensils hung underneath, stove, on either side of the sink drain boards of hardwood tilted toward sink or copper or composition slightly tilted; and a garbage chute on right side of work table near the sink. However excellent or concentrated the arrangement, there can be no success, however, with any machinery unless you know how to use it advantageously; so as engineer in the electric kitchenette you ought to know a few things about the mysterious current over which you preside; how to use it economically, how to use it to its full capacity minus disaster and how to have the same mental attitude toward your kitchenette equipment as the workman has to his tools. In the Edison kitchenette is a little sign with the following legend: Turn off the current when the range is not in use. 1. Start the oven on high, then turn it to medium or low. 2. Turn oven off completely and finish baking and roasting on retained heat. 3. When contents of pot are boiling fast, turn the plate to medium or low for long cooking. Turn off current when nearly done. Complete the cooking by retained heat in the plate. In a little booklet is found this advice: Fires caused by the use of electric stoves are mostly caused by carelessness. I. Detach the plug as well as turn off current at the socket. II. When you are not using any device continually shut off current. III. Grasp the plug at the spring not by the cord. IV. Blow-outs are caused by too many devices all attached to the cluster plug. Reduce the number.
