STEAM OVEN HEATER PLATE ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A steam oven (10) includes a cooking cavity (12) for receiving food product and a water reservoir (18) for receiving water to be heated to generate steam, the water reservoir defined in part by a bottom wall structure of the cooking cavity (12). A heater plate (24) located adjacent the bottom wall structure delivers heat through the bottom wall structure to water in the water reservoir. A spring-loaded heater plate mount arrangement (26) supports the heater plate adjacent the bottom wall structure while permitting some movement of the heater plate.
