Abstract
A cooking appliance includes an oven door having a transparent zone and a passage for permitting an air flow to pass through the door and into a cooling duct extending about an oven cavity. The door includes a panel having a front surface and a central opening in which is arranged an outer transparent pane. The passage separates the outer transparent pane from an inner window pack. The inner window pack includes first and second, substantially parallel window panes spaced one from the other to establish an inner dead air space. Preferably, the door includes an inner transparent pane that forms, with an outer transparent pane, an outer window pack which establishes an outer dead air space. The outer dead air space is positioned between upper and lower portions of the oven door that establish additional dead air spaces that form an overall uniform insulating layer for the door.
