Chambers Stove - Features

Features

While not all models had all the following features, most of the more commonly sold Chambers ranges included:

• Automatic Oven Safety Systems - to shut off the oven gas should the pilot light go out.
• Basket-style oven racks.
• Built-in Lamps.
• Child-protective locking thumb-latches on all gas valves.
• Chrome-Plated cooktop, which Chambers called "Duracrome".
• Full porcelain finishes - guaranteed by the factory for 25 years.
• Heat from Range vented out through the backsplash, enabling it to be set flush to the wall
• Mechanical Timer, which Chambers called a "Minute Minder".
• Multi-fuel design - able to operate on natural gas, propane, butane.
• Patented "daisy" burners - efficient and uniform in their distribution of heat.
• Some of the first built-in ovens and cooktops (early 1950s) made in America.
• Teardrop design gas handles.
• The use of "ThermalEye" (1950s) - developed by Robertshaw and marketed by Chambers as "The Burner With A Brain", this device made it possible to set the desired cooking temperature of a pot that had been placed on the special burner on the top of the range, and the heat would be regulated automatically.
• Thermobaker insert for the Thermowell - enabled baking of small items and meals in the Thermowell.
• Top Burner Pilot - could be used as a warming burner.
• Utility (Service) Cabinet - designed for access to the inner mechanisms and gas pipes of the range, and for storage of pots, pans, and Thermowell kettles. Misunderstood by some to be a warming oven.
• Wide grates designed to accommodate any size cooking utensil.
