Abstract: An oven having a tray forming a heating element enclosure beneath an oven liner. The heating element compartment has a rear access opening. A heating element is removably supported by the tray beneath a bottom wall of the oven liner. An access panel is provided for closing the rear access opening of the heating element enclosure. The access panel is secured to the oven liner and the rear edge of the tray is fastened to the access panel. An inner chassis is disposed about the oven liner. The inner chassis includes a rear chassis panel and a chassis bottom panel having a rear edge removably attached to the rear chassis panel. A cabinet enclosure surrounds the inner chassis and includes a removable back wall. Access to the access panel is accomplished by removing the back wall and disconnecting the chassis bottom panel from the rear chassis panel such that the chassis bottom panel may be flexed to expose the access panel.

Abstract: An oven having a ventilation system capable of providing reduced temperature, low moisture exhaust air is provided. The oven has an oven cavity defined by a partition having a through hole and enclosed by an oven door having an air inlet to accept incoming air and a separator located within the door to divide the incoming air into at least a first path and a second path. The oven has an air duct surrounding the partition having at least one inlet at the front of the oven below the door, at least one inlet at the back of the oven and an air outlet at the front of the oven above the door. Also, the oven has a ventilation system capable of providing reduced temperature exhaust air out the air outlet located at the front of the oven.

Abstract: A cool multi-section oven door for use in an oven is disclosed herein. The present invention provides a plurality of pieces of glass, preferably four, each in parallel spaced relation to each other. The spaces between the pieces of glass provide channels for air flow. To provide forced air flow, a fan is positioned under the cooktop area and the air passes through the air gaps between the individual pieces of glass, thus cooling the oven door by allowing the heat to exit at the top of the door. Additionally, heat radiating fins are located on the hinges of the oven door extend into the air flow to provide further cooling.
