![]() ![]() The experience drew my attention to the aesthetic compromises frequently made when works of art are glazed, especially works on paper. As a result, Turner’s works could be appreciated without the distortions and reflections of the omnipresent layer of acrylic or glass which I had come to take for granted when viewing works on paper framed for display, loan, or exhibition. Standard house frames were rejected for works on paper and the watercolours and oil sketches were shown unframed, resting on sloped supports in old-fashioned vitrines or framed behind low reflective glass. In an effort to gain the full effect of these shimmering paintings and in a manner unconventional for Tate works, all the oils were displayed without their habitual frames and glazing. Electrolux has, and will continue, to research and implement changes in materials, process and design to improve ranges.Several years ago the Conservation Department at Tate prepared works for a remarkable display of late Turner oil paintings and watercolours at Tate Liverpool, celebrating the artist’s abstract depictions of light and air. Both examples may cause a weakness that could lead to failure over time. Frequently, damage to the glass is caused by using the door to push in the oven rack or by an object accidentally hitting the interior or exterior glass. Following the first year of purchase, failure in the glass has been typically due to damage caused during use. Within the first year of purchase, failure in the glass may be due to imperfections in the glass and would be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. This is in accordance with independent 3rd party certification agencies, Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and/or Underwriters' Laboratories (UL), that require tempered or 'safety' glass is used in all Electrolux and Frigidaire ovens. As a precaution and as required by household cooking standards UL 825 and ANSI Z21.1 with which Electrolux maintains certifications, the glass is designed to break into fragments with rounded edges if a failure does occur. Although infrequent, glass used in oven doors may break. When it comes to Electrolux, in a statement the company says, "Electrolux takes the safety of its products seriously. He was outside of his one-year warranty.Ĭonsumer Product Safety Commission records from 2011 to 2022 show more than 214 complaints about this issue involving Frigidaire or its parent company, Electrolux. He also complained to Frigidaire, but the glass wasn't covered either. "All of a sudden, I heard, like it was a gunshot," said Raleigh homeowner Connor O'Brien after the glass on his Frigidaire oven also shattered. However, when the repair technician came out to Truesdale's home, things did not go as planned. She was told that her stove was still under warranty and would be fixed. ![]() Since Truesdale's Frigidaire oven is less than a year old, she called the manufacturer for help. "It wasn't hot, because the stove was not on but all here this was full of shattered glass," Truesdale said. What was even more surprising: It happened when her oven was not even turned on. Glass shattered, glass was out here on the floor." "It was shocking and you had to really see it to believe it. After getting off the couch to check out the noise, she found the outside glass on her oven shattered in pieces. ![]() Like, what is that?" Willie Mae Truesdale said.
