What color would you call that anyone? Pink or salmon? Love that color almost as much as turquois. It would be hard to choose! Maybe one in one color and something else in the other. Just thinking out loud! Andy | ||

Seriously, is that what it was termed at the time? | ||

Bonus:
Good range, though in lieu of a "Convection Oven" it has a feature called "Quick Bake", (of which I've called Frigidaire or Electrolux--as the co. is now owned by--for an explanation on the feature (or rather that my "convection" didn't seem to work, but they wanted to send someone to my house (& possibly charge me $$$$$$!) in stead of telling me the differnce)... And I wish that "FRIGIDAIRE" were written in the fancy almost-cursive script or at least had the "crown" rather than it being displayed plainly on the oven door (much like how it'd look if it were a VIKING range!)... (My Maytag dishwasher is the same way: The name in the "new emblem" is in the door between the touch-pad controls; nowhere on the door, as it would be if it were a Kitchen Aid--though w/o the "Hobart" imprint...) I'm sure it's OK to say this range is really a "ROPER", as when that brand became scarce, owning a non-GM or in this case non-WCI Electrolux-owned became in vogue, albeit a far cry from when Frigidaire mainly made electrics... (That's right, I wish my 2000-something appliances would be a little like apps' from "Back In The Day", though I could NEVER live without my Whirlpool CONQUEST Side X Side, which stores the ice cubes in the freezer door! --Now let's see your General Electric AMERICANA do THAT!!!!) -- Dave

Yes, that's daughter Laura, there! --MY Daughter, that is! I thyink I wanted to get some shots of the apps' in the background, too, as well as the milestone of her first using her walker--though unfortunately now trying to climb in--and OUT of--it, herself...! (Gasp...!)
As for the "convection fan", I hear NO fan noise, when I select "Quick Bake" on the range's control panel & inquiries both to the manufacturer and even an appliance dealer, don't seem to tell me that this stove does NOT have a "true convection"--just mainly offers from the mfr. to "buy a service contract" and/or get someone to come to my house to "fix it"... So I'm left w/ the idea that it's just something there for "looks" as I don't think I get much of a "boost" in baking performance, either, whenever I use it... It's my first gas range, & I've always wanted a gas range & my mom & mother-in-law, grandmas, etc., as well as the apt. we've lived in before we got our house in Nov. 2009, all had ELECTRIC RANGES & I wanted GAS! So I got! ...Cheers! -- Dave | ||

Frigidaire had something called "speed bake" that you selected via a rocker switch. All it did was turn on the convection fan in the back wall of the oven. Not sure if gas ranges had it, but I know electric ones did. | ||

I've poked my head in the oven & can see there's fan there... However, I don't think I've seen it turn, & then again, maybe it's just a "baffle" and maybe the fan is deep in that recessed fixture, somewhere behind it... I hear a "faint hum", if that...
How-so-ever, Convection to me doesn't seem to be that important, anyway... My sister went from an ancient RCA Whirlpool electric cooktop w/ 3 small burners & 1 large one (which gave out & that one was soldered in, unlike the small ones which were plug-in's--more easily replaced,--and NO indicator lights that would tell that the thing was even ON!--and an equally antique matching wall oven w/ no self-cleaning, but at least automatic baking--of which the timer would be waaaayyyy extremely complicated even with consulting the owner's guide!--and the darn thing wasn't even connected right, as the elements tended to cycle up & down as it was baking (I don't think she ever broiled with it) to a Jenn Aire electric glass top cooktop--much like what you'd expect a NEW one to be like: Touch Pads, Adjustable "Burners" & all; and, too, you had to be sure those touch pads wouldn't accidentally be turned on, too! As well as a full-featured Maytag electric wall-oven w/ convection cooking! ("That thing will just BREAK!", my mom would say... She went from a basic Bradford w/ the knobs on the panel above the oven, in harvest gold, to a Tappan double-decker range/microwave/self-cleaning conventional oven combination, in almond, to a Montgomery Ward "DESIGNER SERIES by Tappan", also in almond & self-cleaning, to a white Maytag w/ a glass cooking surface, & a self-cleaning oven, but by now she's grown so disenchanted w/ the self-cleaning feature, that she really let that oven go & it's hopelessly getting dirtier & dirtier...) The fan there tends to make a lot of noise, & while it speeds up baking, I guess I can't necessarily say I'd envy anyone w/ a "turbo oven"...! (I refuse to use my fan on my range hood, because I dislike the noise, & found both the one in my home--which incidentally CAME WITH all those fancy appliances--and the apt. we lived in ineffective at filtering the air & preventing the smoke detector from going off (both places have/had a super-sensitive one placed right near our cooking area--not that I would ever neglect to watch what I'm making...) Yes, "Daddy's Little Girl" she IS! In every way... Everyone says she looks like me, right from when she was born! --More to come...! -- Dave | ||
