THERMALLY INSULATED COVERS FOR CONDENSATION INHIBITION IN AN OVEN

Abstract:

An oven may include an oven body having at least sides and a housing cover, a cooking chamber disposed within the oven body and being configured to receive a food product, an RF heating system configured to provide RF energy into the cooking chamber using solid state electronic components to heat the food product, and an internal air cooling system configured to move air through the oven body to cool the solid state electronic components. The solid state electronic components include power amplifier electronics and control electronics configured to control operation of the power amplifier electronics. The power amplifier electronics are at least partially covered by an internal electronics cover. A first insulating member is applied to a bottom surface of at least one of the housing cover or the internal electronics cover to inhibit condensation above the solid state electronic components.
