摘要： A microwave oven includes a housing, a door, and a latch. The housing defines a first internal cavity configured to receive food. The door is rotatably secured to the housing, defines a second internal cavity, and has a handle. The door is configuring to pivot relative to the housing to transition the door between an open position and a closed position. The latch is disposed within the second internal cavity. The latch has a hook and a push button. The hook protrudes outward from second internal cavity and toward the housing. The hook is configured to engage and disengage the housing to lock and unlock the door to and from the housing, respectively. The push button is rigidly interconnected with the hook. The hook is configured to disengage the housing in response to depression of the push button.

摘要： A microwave oven (2) with a full glass door (12) for preventing microwave leakage from the cooking cavity (6) of the microwave oven (2) is provided. The front plate (8) of the cooking cavity (6) has a conductive material (10), such as a rubber with conductive filler. The inner glass surface (16) of the door (12) has a conductive coating that creates a ground loop with the conductive material (10) on the front plate (8) of the cooking cavity (6) to prevent microwave leakage from the cooking cavity (6).

摘要： A convection microwave oven (2) includes a moisture convection system (10) for providing moisture into the cooking cavity (6) of the microwave oven (2) to help keep heated and/or cooked items moist. The moisture convection system (10) includes a removable water tank (40) that provides water for the moisture convection system (10). The moisture convection system (10) includes a pump (42) that pumps water to a nozzle (46) that sprays water onto the convection heater (24) of the microwave oven (2) to create evaporate (E) that is moved into the cooking cavity (6) of the microwave oven (2) by the convection fan wheel (22).
