Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a body and a door assembly coupled to the body. The door assembly includes a frame and a door, which is operable between an opened position and a closed position. A first adjustment assembly is coupled to a first side of the door. A second adjustment assembly is coupled to a second side of the door. Each of the first and second adjustment assemblies includes a support structure coupled to the frame and which defines a slot. A link arm is coupled to an interior surface of the door and includes a projection that extends through the slot. A motor is operably coupled to the door. A controller is configured to activate at least one of the first and second adjustment assemblies to guide the door between the opened position and the closed position.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an internal support defining a cooking cavity. An upper wrapper is disposed above the internal support. A separator plate is disposed adjacent to the upper wrapper. A venting channel is defined between the separator plate and the upper wrapper. A chimney is coupled to the internal support and the upper wrapper. The chimney fluidly couples the cooking cavity and the venting channel. A venting assembly is coupled to the upper wrapper and includes an actuator and a cover. A controller is configured to activate the actuator to at least one of vertically and rotationally adjust the cover relative to a vent opening in the upper wrapper to control an amount of steam in the cooking cavity in response to a sensed humidity.

Abstract: An oven includes a cooking chamber, a cabinet at least partially surrounding the cooking chamber, and a water reservoir having a reservoir inlet and a reservoir outlet. The oven further includes a water fill assembly including an opening, a water-receiving cavity and a fill outlet from the water-receiving cavity, the water fill assembly defining a fluid flow path in from the opening and out through the fill outlet, a check valve in fluid communication with the fill outlet downstream of the fluid flow path defined by the water fill assembly, the check valve configured in a closed state under a force of gravity on at least a portion thereof and opening by a flow force of fluid out of the fill outlet and through the check valve, and a conduit connecting the check valve with the water reservoir inlet downstream of the fill outlet.
