Great Scans!
Ahh, back when a woman's kitchen/home was her prison or castle, which ever way one looked at things.
Love that Frigidaire dishwasher with the rotary tube wash arm. Would love to see one of those in action, wonder how effective such a system was compared to impeller spray arms.
Just what the heck was or is "dry frost proof" air Frigidaire claimed kept their freezers frost free? Did it work?

Did anyone see the typo on the dishwasher page...."santized"???

Laundress, opinions on here about Frigidaire dishwashers range from they were the biggest joke for a dishwasher all the way to they were the best thing since sliced bread. As Toggles said, it seems unnatural you can't put a bowl face down in the bottom rack.

Santized for your protecton...
I also wondered about "clamminess", but didn't bother to look up that word.
I also bet that the "santizing" which uses "pasteurization temperatures" is predicated upon one turning one's water heater up to 140F or more. No mention of an internal water heater to go along with the "Turbo-Spray Tube".

Frigidaire Spray-tube dishwashers use a large heating element that is under the water line that runs during the entire cycle.

I love Catalogues!
Thank you so much for posting this! I've said it before, I'll say it again, nothing, absolutely nothing was better than those thick GM Frigidaire burner coils.

Feminine Work Saving Appliances
This is a great brochure - the pull-n-clean oven really did make some of that job easier.
International Harvester called their line of refrigerators and freezers "Femineered" - probably to play down the whole farm implement image.

Odd that GM didn't see fit to mention that in their sales brochure. Maybe they didn't think an internal water heater was feminine enough?
Or, that most consumers wouldn't understand the concept. It's not been until recently that many American washer buyers understood the importance of internal water heaters in front load clothes washers, either.
In any case, IMHO, the internal water heater gives the Turbo-Spray dishwasher line a definite performance advantage over the competition.

Would you believe...
I found this brochure in a drawer in the patio kitchen of the home I bought ten years ago? I understand there was a Frigidaire distribution center in town back in the 60's here. I suspect this place was all GM Frigidaire at one point, but the appliances were nearly all changed to GE Harvest Gold ones in the late 70's. The only GM Frigidaire appliance here now is a mid-60's Compact 30 Electric drop-in range in the patio. It does have those big flat coils, and a self-cleaning oven. I still prefer gas, though.
