Abstract: An oven assembly includes a cooking chamber having a rear wall, a pair of opposed side walls, a top wall, a bottom wall, and an access opening defined by an outer perimeter of the cooking chamber. A movable door operably is coupled with the oven assembly for selectively enclosing the cooking chamber about the outer edge of the cooking chamber. A removable bottom trim panel is disposed proximate a bottom edge of the outer perimeter and includes a tray body. A removable fastening mechanism is disposed on the tray body or the bottom edge and operably couples the tray body to the bottom edge, such that the removable fastening mechanism is adapted to removably attach the removable bottom trim panel to the bottom edge.

Abstract: An oven is provided including a cooking cavity having side walls each including a protruding divider rail extending horizontally along the side wall and a divider rail emboss disposed above the protruding divider rail; and a divider assembly to divide the cooking cavity into cooking subcavities. The divider assembly includes: a panel having a bottom surface, and first and second side edges, the first and second side edges each having a recess; movable closures positioned within the recesses; a plurality of springs positioned within the recesses for biasing the movable closures out from the recesses while allowing the movable closures to slide inward inside the recesses, wherein the movable closures are configured to extend into the respective divider rail embosses when the bottom surface of the panel rests on the protruding divider rails so as to lock the divider assembly in place while increasing airtightness and reducing heat migration.

Abstract: A divider assembly for dividing a cooking cavity of an appliance includes a housing portion. The housing portion includes front and rear walls spaced-apart from one another, upper and lower walls spaced-apart from one another, and first and second end walls spaced-apart from one another to define an interior cavity. The housing portion further includes an access slot opening into the interior cavity of the housing portion. A roller is positioned within the housing portion for rotation therein. A deployable divider includes a flexible body portion having first and second ends. The deployable divider is coupled to the roller at the second end of the body portion. The deployable divider is operable between a deployed position, wherein a portion of the deployable divider is positioned outside of the housing portion, and a retracted position, wherein the deployable divider is housed within the interior cavity of the housing portion.
