Abstract: An oven door includes a transparent zone defined by a window pack and an additional piece of glass arranged in front of the window pack. Specifically, the additional piece of glass is mounted at an angle to the panes of the window pack, with the angled glass diverging farther from the window pack at an upper section than at a lower section. Through mounting the angled piece of glass in the door as set forth above, a chimney effect is established for heat conducted through the door such that an attainable temperature at a front surface of the door is significantly reduced.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a cabinet, defined by at least front, side, bottom and back panel portions, a pair of laterally spaced end caps provided at an upper rear portion cabinet, and a range top mounted upon an upper portion of the cabinet. At least two sets of alignment components, with each set of alignment components being defined by cooperating first and second sets of alignment elements, are provided on the end caps and range top respectively. When the range top is mounted upon the cabinet, the sets of alignment components become interengaged to automatically, laterally center and mount the range top with respect to the cabinet.
