Historical NotesThe Junior Console electric range dates back to 1925. Westinghouse began a concept in design that established a trend lasting almost 10 years. The range was finished in gray and white porcelain enamel and featured a Flavor-Zone oven that was fully automatic. There were three surface units. This design was replaced by the buffet style. Transferred to the Heinz History Center when the George Westinghouse Museum closed in 2007.
