In its entire freezing system there is not a single moving part. Nothing to grow noisy with age, orto wear out and cause expensive replacements. A tiny Gas flame circulates a simple refrigerant, providing constant, steady food protec- tion and ice cubes in abundance. This amazing simplicity is the key to its longer life, exceedingly low operating cost and in- creasing popularity.
