Abstract: Provided is a backguard panel for an appliance with an integrated front-mounted proud-glass control unit. An opening is defined within the front wall of the backguard panel has for receiving the control unit. A recessed seat, configured to receive a sealing gasket for sealing the space between the control unit and the backguard panel, surrounds the opening. The control unit has a housing suspended from a proud glass pane that protrudes forward of the front wall of the backguard panel when the housing is fully inserted into the opening. Rearwardly projecting brackets establish a friction fit to temporarily hold the control unit in place until fasteners can be installed to apply a compressive force on the sealing gasket between the glass pane and the backguard panel. A cooking appliance with a backguard panel with an integrated front-mounted proud-glass control unit is also provided.

Abstract: A cooking device includes a cooktop, an oven provided under the cooktop, a burner grate on a top surface of the cooktop, and a flue path connecting an oven cavity of the oven and a discharge opening. The flue path is located adjacent the cooktop. The burner grate comprises at least one grate finger extending over the discharge opening of the flue path. The grate finger comprises a drip edge that is located above the discharge opening of the flue path, and the drip edge is configured to allow a condensed flue gas to drip from the drip edge into the flue path through the discharge opening.
