ABSTRACT:
An oven includes a plurality of walls defining an inner chamber. One of the walls is provided with an opening through which access may be had to the inner chamber. The opening includes a vertical axis extending along one side thereof, and a door is pivotally supported along the first vertical axis and is movable between a first door position closing the inner chamber and a second door position opening the inner chamber. The door has an inner door surface exposed to the inner chamber when the door is in the first door position. An inner plate is pivotally supported along a second vertical axis that is parallel to the first vertical axis and located within the inner chamber. The inner plate is movable between a first inner plate position adjacent one of the walls of the oven and a second inner plate position adjacent the opening. The inner plate includes a front surface facing the inner chamber when the inner plate is in the first inner plate position. The oven also includes at least one rack adapted for supporting materials to be heated in the oven. Guides for supporting the rack between the first surface of the inner plate and the inner door surface are arranged so that the door and the inner plate move together with the rack when the door is moved from the first door position to the second door position. When the door is in the second door position the rack is located outside the inner chamber and the chamber is closed by the inner plate. The inner chamber includes a curved chamber surface which is curved about the vertical axis and which is located at a fixed radial distance from the vertical axis.
