Abstract: A control panel for a domestic appliance has a main body having a front surface; controls attached to the main body that provide instructions to devices of the domestic appliance; and a display unit located in the main body. The display unit has a stationary portion attached to the main body, a pivoting portion pivotably attached to the stationary portion, the pivoting portion having a closed position and an open position. The pivoting portion has a front surface and a display that displays information to a user of the appliance. The display unit also has a pivoting mechanism that attaches the pivoting portion to the stationary portion, a mechanical urging member that urges the pivoting portion in a direction from the closed position to the open position, and a holding mechanism that retains the pivoting portion in the closed position.

Abstract: A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooktop on the housing, the cooktop having at least one gas burner, a cooking compartment in the housing and accessible through a door in a front of the housing, a cooling air system having a cooling fan that conveys cooling air through the housing, and an air guide between the cooktop and the cooking compartment, the air guide including an inlet located away from a space below the at least one gas burner of the cooktop and an outlet in fluid communication with the cooling fan, the air guide configured to restrict air from being drawn into the cooling fan from the space below the at least one gas burner of the cooktop.

Abstract: A home cooking appliance includes a rear vent trim at a rear side of the top of the housing that is configured to guide flue gases exiting from an exhaust channel of a cooking compartment in an upward direction out of the housing. The rear vent trim includes a body, a back panel closing a rear side of the body, and a heat shield disposed between the back panel and the flue gases flowing in the rear vent trim. The heat shield is spaced from the back panel and forms an air gap between the back panel and the heat shield.

Abstract: A domestic cooking appliance includes: a main housing; a cooking compartment; a gas burner that provides heat to the cooking compartment; a cooling air passageway located between the cooking compartment and a rear wall of the main housing, the cooling air passageway being separated from the cooking compartment by a rear wall of the cooking compartment; and a gas flue. The gas flue has an exhaust gas inlet open to the cooking chamber, the exhaust inlet being located in a lower panel of the gas flue, a cooling air inlet open to the cooling air passageway, an outlet located above the exhaust gas inlet, above the cooling air inlet, and above an uppermost portion of the cooking compartment, and an upper deflector located above the outlet and angled relative to vertical at a non-zero first angle such that the upper deflector extends over at least a portion of the outlet.
