NEW RANGE SAFETY
STANDARDS
If you buy an electric range
after September, 1975, it may
be safer but look a little
different from your present
range.
Underwriters Laboratories
has established new re
quirements for reducing the
most frequent injuries
caused by ranges, which are
clothing fires.
Under the new guidelines,
controls on the backsplasher
must be at least six inches
above the surface units.
Front units must be recessed
at least two inches from the

Fresh Fried Oysters $2.75
Kiddie Special (Fish Sticks) __ $1.75
Hamburgers 60c
Cheeseburgers 75 c
Tossed Salad 45 c
Cole Slaw 35 c
Onion Rings so c
French Fries 45 c
range front and oven bake
units must be recessed
sufficiently to prevent a
potholder from igniting.
Another new standard is
that control knobs must
operate by a “push-in and
turn” method to prevent
children from turning on any
part of the range by accident.
Still another requirement
is that each unit must have a
signal light to indicate when
it is on.
At the present time no
manufacturer meets these
standards. It is expected that
these changes will hike the
range cost by about S3O.
