  • Publication number: 20230085049
    Abstract: An oven appliance may include a cabinet, a door, and a restrictor plate. The cabinet may include a top panel and a bottom panel. The cabinet may define an internal chamber between the top panel and the bottom panel. The door may be mounted on the cabinet to selectively restrict access to the internal chamber in a closed position. The door may extend along the vertical direction in the closed position between a top lip and a bottom lip. The handle may be provided on the door proximal to the top lip. The handle may define an upper surface directed away from the bottom lip, the upper surface being a complementary match to the underside surface of the top panel.

  • Patent number: 10495320
    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.
