COOL!!But a question-Does the Flair cooker have to sit on a base or a cabinet of some sort-One of those could be something to consider-The "Shopsmith" of ranges!Like the idea of the burners on a drawer.Would assume you would have to let them cool before closing the drawer after using them.

Re: Flair Stove Installations:
Hi! Rex, you are correct that these Stoves do have to either be Installed on the Optional Cabinet, or they are able to be Installed on a normal Kitchen Cabinet, specially built for the Stove. Your other comment about the Burners, is correct, that you do have to allow the Burners cool, before closing them. The Burner Drawer does have a Latch, that does allow you to either just have the Front-2 Burners opened, or the Full Drawer opened for all 4-Burners for Cooking. I'm not sure if all Models also had this, but some of them do also have the separate Plug for Small Appliances, like Coffee Makers, or Electric Fry Pans. The Window Doors also have a Double Latch Release on the top of them, to pull them opened to an approx 45-degree angle towards you, to allow you to Clean the Glass on the Inside easier.
Peace and Fun Cooking on a Flair, Steve

A Flair stove would be nice-its so too bad they are no longer made-I beleive other ranges had the outlets built into them to run other appliances-thought these were no more becasue of new electric codes that prohibit those.Like the idea of the swivel oven doors-no wonder why in most pictures of the flair cookers the oven doors are clean-they made them "user freindly"Despite the safety codes the outlets would be handy.Did the appliance outlets on the Flair-were they connectged to its timer-so an appliance plugged into one could start and stop at times you set on the timer?Say for the coffee machine-you could set the Flair timer so the pot could be cooking the coffee as you are getting up.

My parents had a range in the early to late 60's that was very similar to this one. It had a large oven on the bottom too in addition to the ones on the top. This made the entire range free standing.

Someone has taken the time to devote a website that's consists of the manual for a Frigidiare Flare. The manual notes that you don't have to wait until the burners are cooled before returning the "rollaway cooktop" to the closed position. (I'm not sure if I'd do that.) (The burners apparently automatically shut off if the cooktop is closed while they're still turned on.)
Interesting!

There is a "high-rise" apartment building here that used Frigidaire Flair ranges (and other kitchen apps.) in it exclusively. The smaller apartments had 30" ranges, larger units had 40". The kitchens were all St. Charles metal cabinets and included the base units for the range to give the complete built-in look. They even had the Nutone (or similar) built-in clocks in the soffit above the wall cabinets.
