Appliances Automate for Ease "Kitchen automation" strikes home! If the family is planning to remodel the kitchen, this may be the right time to make needed replacements of major appliances. Even if the present ones are not outworn, they may be outdated, thanks to innumerable new developments that automate cooking and clean-up. Modern gas or electric ranges offer new features for automatic top-of-range cooking, as well as programmed oven cooking. Recently, the use of oven timers has been simplified, making automatic cooking orcook-and-hold even easier. Scrubbing, scraping drudgery becomes a thing of the past, with new easy-clean features for both oven and top of range. Some ovens can be cleaned automatically, by use of a high-heat process--soon to be available for gas as well as electric' ranges. One manufacturer is offering a dduble-oven electric range which provides for automatic cleaning of both ovens. Other easy-clean oven features are removable liners, or non-stick coatings for pull-out oven parts. For flexibility, many surface cooking units can be installed in a cabinet, island or peninsula. Ovens can be built into the wall, or full ranges can be slipped into available space between cabinets or in a corner. Refrigerator-freezers now come in more compact designs, giving more space inside while taking up less floor space. Conveniently, they are frost-free, for no defrosting ever. Style variety suits every taste, from the upright with freezer and refrigerator side by side to refrigerators with spacious freezers at either top or bottom. Probably the most-needed appliance in most homes is the automatic ' dishwasher, since many kitchens still lack this timeand- work saver. To make it easy to add a dishwasher, models come in free-standing, built-in, portable, convertible or dishwasher- sink styles. Vanity Answers Rush-Hour Need In most families, one of the chief causes of morning bickering and getting the day off to a wrong start is competition for the bathroom. For those who aren't in a position to add one or more bathrooms in the immediate future, answer to morning and evening rush-hour problems can be a source of water in the bedroom, says the Plumbing-Heating- Cooling Information Bureau. Instead of the china bowl and pitcher of yesteryear, today's convenience is a handsome vanity lavatory with hot and cold running water. The complete unit consists of one, or preferably two, lavatory bowls sunk into a generous counttertop, with the whole mounted on a cabinet that provides storage space. The vanities come in all decorator styles, so they can harmonize with the rest of the bedroom furniture--early American, French provincial, modern Swedish or whatever. Colored lavatory bowls can add a bold splash of color where desired. INSTALLING CARPET Installation of wall-to-wall carpeting enters the do-it-yourself class with a new product called Town Aire Carpet Tiles, by Ozite. The "tiles" are 12-inch squares of polypropylene carpet with a latex foam rubber backing. They can be cemented to the floor with a rubber-based adhesive.
