Abstract
A cooking oven includes: (a) a cooking cavity; (b) a door to provide selective access to the cooking cavity; (c) a forward panel facing the door when the door takes a closed position, the forward panel comprising a latch cutout; (d) a latch assembly with a base portion that extends from rearward of the forward panel, through the latch cutout with a gap between the latch cutout and the base portion, and forward of the forward panel to couple to the door; and (e) a seal, such as that provided by a latch cover, that at least partially seals the gap to reduce air flow through the gap. During use of the cooking oven, a forward surface of the door forward of the gap exhibits a reduced temperature compared to if no such seal, such as that provided by the latch cover, was included.
