We define an (X1, Θ, X2)-frame with Banach spaces X2 ⊆ X1, · 1 ≤ · 2 , and a BK-space (Θ, |· |). Then by the use of decreasing sequences of Banach spaces {Xs} ∞ s=0 and of sequence spaces {Θs} ∞ s=0 , we define a general Fréchet frame on the Fréchet space XF = ∞ s=0 Xs. We give frame expansions of elements of XF and its dual X * F , as well of some of the generating spaces of XF with convergence in appropriate norms. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a general pre-Fréchet frame to be a general Fréchet frame, as well as for the complementedness of the range of the analysis operator U : XF → ΘF .
