Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a top-front perspective view of…

FIG. 1 is a top-front perspective view of an oven according to an embodiment of our design;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a back view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top view thereof; and,

FIG. 7 is a bottom view.

Broken lines are environmental only and form no part of the claimed design.

Dash-dot lines adjacent un-shaded areas represent bounds of the claimed design and form no part of the claimed design themselves.

The pairs of closely adjacent, spaced jagged broken lines in the drawings form no part of the claimed design and the portions between such pairs of jagged broken lines are broken away to disclose indeterminate length. Portions of the design that may be visible between the jagged lines have been removed for clarity.

The diagonal shading using solid lines indicates a transparent material, which, as used herein, can encompass varying degrees of partial transparency. In particular, the diagonal shading indicates a tinted transparent material layer (further described below) that is such that the texture represented by the texture shading is visible through the transparent material thereover.

The texture shading depicted beneath the tinted transparent material layer represents a surface texture on the layer on which it is depicted in the form of a metal surface treatment and is not necessarily to scale.

The diagonal shading using dash-dot lines indicates a highly reflective material.

The stipple fill is used to indicate color. In particular, the comparatively lighter stipple fill shown in FIGS. 1-7 indicates a metallic grey color, such as that which is attributable to stainless steel, and the comparatively darker stipple fill shown in FIGS. 1-7 indicates a comparatively darker grey (or other gradient of what would at least be perceived or generally recognized as black) metallic color.
