<p>A device is described for protecting the controls (5) on the front panel (4) of an oven (1) from the heat radiating from the oven hearth (3) on opening of its door (2). The device comprises a flat, rigid element (10) having a length at least equal to the width of the oven hearth (3) and protruding outwardly when the oven door (2) is open, thus acting as a baffle for the heat and vapours which are directed away from the controls (5) placed above. Said baffle (10) is usually kept back in a space (20) between the controls on the front panel (4) and the oven hearth (3) by the action of the closing door (2), whereas it is pushed outwardly on door opening due to the action of springs (11) having a lower force than the door closing springs.</p> |
