ABSTRACT:
A toaster/oven comprises a housing and a cooking chamber defined within the housing by a cooking chamber bottom panel, first and second cooking chamber side panels, a cooking chamber top panel and a cooking chamber back panel (which may be removable), the cooking chamber thereby defining a front opening. A door is pivotally mounted to the housing for closing the front opening. Removable cooking chamber side liners are removably mounted to the cooking chamber side panels and define grooves for supporting at least one rack therebetween. Each cooking chamber side liner has an offset flange including an offset portion and a tip extending from the top edge thereof and bottom tabs extending perpendicularly from the bottom edge thereof. Each cooking chamber side panel defines slot openings cooperatively positioned for receiving the offset flange and bottom tabs of one of the cooking chamber side liners for removably mounting the cooking chamber side liner thereto. Mounting is accomplished by sequentially inserting the offset top flange into the upper slot opening in the cooking chamber side panel and then pivoting the cooking chamber side liner about its top offset flange to insert the bottom tabs in their respective slot openings. Removal of the cooking chamber side liners is achieved by reversing the aforesaid procedure. The rack-receiving grooves are defined in a raised section of the cooking chamber side liners, each groove having a back portion and diverging legs, whereby the grooves are "open" for cleaning, and the raised section is characterized by an inclined transition to the flat perimeter of the removable cooking chamber side liner whereby the raised section resists accumulation of food soilage and is easy to clean.
