  • Publication number: 20050150486
    Abstract: The cooking appliance door has an inner door pane made of borosilicate glass and a paint layer applied to a surface on one side of said inner door pane. The paint layer is made by printing high-temperature-resistant non-enamel paint with an organic or inorganic binder on the surface on the inner door pane, preferably by a screen printing technique. In order to prevent the deformation of the printed inner door pane during hardening, the paint layer consists of a plurality of individual paint spots with a predetermined maximal geometric shape. The individual paint spots are arranged in a predetermined pattern with a predetermined paint-free spacing from each other on the inner door pane.

  • Publication number: 20050092318
    Abstract: The cooking appliance door has a borosilicate glass inner window pane, on which a paint layer and an infrared-reflecting layer are applied. The paint layer is high-temperature-resistant non-enamel paint with an organic or inorganic binder. In order to provide especially good adherence and high scratch resistance for the paint layer, the paint layer is applied directly on one side of the inner window pane and the infrared-reflecting layer is applied on and over this paint layer. A cooking appliance with this cooking appliance door is also part of this invention.
