FRIGIDAIRE Custom Imperial 40 inch range
Rick, Your 40 inch Custom Imperial double oven range was manufactured around 1972.It precedes the 30 inch "Touch-N-Cook"and was a great piece of history. You may want to search ebay for the Meat thermometer for the right oven as well as the rotisery,Spatter free broiler/grill, and be sure the speed heat and Cookmaster controls work.GE pioneered the self cleaning ovens and they were introduced in 1964.By 1966,every brand had them.GE called theirs the "P7 self cleaning oven "which meant P-pyrolitic and 7-$.07/KWH or killowatt hour."FRIGIDIRE called theirs,introduced in 1966, the Electri-Clean oven.Major difference was GE had the asbestos shield between two thermo glass windows and FRIGIDAIRE had the solid windowless models till their final 3 years w/ GM.The wood trim on the 40 inch FRIGIDAIRES was a good way to tell the period they were made. The wood trim was introduced around 1970 through 1975.The went to black trim around 1973/30 inch free standing,Twin 30 and Compact 30 models and 1975 on 40 inch models.I had a GE Americana from John LeFever that was made in 1966 and worked like a horse. I think I made more complete meals with that range than any other range, gas or electric,I ever owned. It had the Rotisery,Sensi-temp burner that could be set for 4",6"or 8" use and worked by setting it by temperature,P7 self cleaning mane oven and removable oven racks in the left oven you could clean along with and inside the main oven!!It also had two outlets,one of which could be programed to come on and shut off automaticly,for small appliances like a hand mixer or coffee pot!I think your FRIGIDAIRE has those same outlets.GREAT RANGE!!!! FRIGIDAIRE BOTHERS TO BUILD IN MORE HELP!!
