ABSTRACT:
A microwave oven includes a main body forming a cooking chamber, and a door hinged to the main body for opening and closing the cooking chamber. The main body includes upper and lower horizontal walls forming a top and bottom, respectively, of the cooking chamber. The door is mounted by two hinges, each hinge comprising a pivot pin carried by the door, and a hinge plate carried by the main body. Each hinge plate includes a door-connecting section and a body-connecting section interconnected by an intermediate section. All three of those sections are integrally formed on a one-piece element. The door-connecting section is at a higher elevation than the body-mounting section and includes a hole rotatably receiving the pivot pin. The body connecting section is directly connected to a respective one of the upper and lower horizontal walls. The door carries a stop element which abuts a vertical edge of a respective hinge plate when the door is in an open state.
