Abstract: A range appliance may define a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction. The range appliance may include a cabinet defining a cooking chamber. The range appliance may also include a cooktop assembly positioned at a top portion of the cabinet. The range appliance may further include a gas manifold assembly provided at the cooktop assembly. The gas manifold assembly may include a manifold pipe through which fuel is supplied to the cooktop assembly. The gas manifold assembly may also include a bracket assembly. The bracket assembly may include a manifold bracket and a panel bracket. The manifold bracket may be directly coupled to the manifold pipe. The panel bracket may be removably coupled to the manifold bracket. The panel bracket may include one or more locating features to locate the gas manifold assembly to the cooktop assembly.

Abstract: An oven appliance includes a cabinet defining a cooking chamber; a control panel provided on the cabinet; a fuel supply line provided at the cabinet; and a bracket. The bracket includes a first flange selectively coupled to the fuel supply line; a second flange extending from the first flange at a predetermined angle, the second flange being selectively coupled to the control panel; a vertical protrusion protruding from the first flange along the vertical direction toward the fuel supply line to locate the bracket with respect to the fuel supply line; and a horizontal locating protrusion protruding from the second flange away from the fuel supply line to locate the bracket with respect to the control panel.

Abstract: A cooking grate includes a peripheral frame defining a periphery of the cooking grate, a plurality of fingers extending from the peripheral frame toward a center of the cooking grate, and a slot formed in the peripheral frame, the slot forming a passageway through the peripheral frame from a lower portion to an upper portion thereof in the vertical direction.

Abstract: An appliance includes a cabinet and an inner door. The inner door is configured such that an outer door panel is mountable on the inner door. An adjustable hinge rotatably couples the inner door to the cabinet. The adjustable hinge includes a movable door balance adjuster. A visual scale graphic is positioned proximate the adjustable hinge. The visual scale graphic includes a plurality of outer door panel weight indicia and a plurality of door balance adjuster position indicia. Each of the plurality of door balance adjuster position indicia corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of outer door panel weight indicia.

Abstract: An adjustable camera assembly mounted within a door of an oven appliance includes a vertical guide rail and a camera movably mounted to the guide rail. A drive mechanism, such as a lead screw driven by a stepper motor, is mechanically coupled to the camera for moving the camera along the guide rail. A heat shield is positioned proximate a bottom of the door and extends around the guide rail to define a protective cavity for receiving the camera and providing a thermal break from a heating element of the oven appliance. A controller is configured for moving the camera into the protective cavity during high temperature operation of the oven appliance, such as during a self-clean cycle.

Abstract: A control panel assembly for an oven appliance includes an external housing and an internal housing spaced apart to define an air plenum. A display assembly is positioned in a top opening in the external housing and a cooling port is defined between a cooktop of the oven appliance and the display assembly. A fan assembly is positioned within the air plenum for drawing a flow of cooling air in through an ambient port and urging the flow of cooling air through the cooling port to create an air curtain that cools the display assembly.

Abstract: An adjustable camera assembly mounted within a door of an oven appliance includes a vertical guide rail and a camera movably mounted to the guide rail. A drive mechanism, such as a lead screw driven by a stepper motor, is mechanically coupled to the camera for moving the camera along the guide rail. A controller is coupled to a user interface for obtaining a rack position where food is located. Based on the rack position, the controller determines a viewing position where the camera is placed to achieve a desired view of the food and operates the drive mechanism to position the camera in the viewing position.

Abstract: An oven appliance having an oven chamber positioned within a cabinet and a top panel defining one or more vent apertures includes a false back assembly for facilitating the containment of spilled fluids and the cooling of electronic components within the cabinet. The false back assembly includes a false back spaced apart from a range back to define a spill channel. A spill deflector is positioned below the vent apertures and above the spill channel along the vertical direction such that the spill deflector is configured for collecting fluids spilled through the vent apertures and directing the spilled fluids to the spill channel where they may be safely routed around sensitive electronic components.
