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.
