It also includes features that allow the door to be locked in a vertical position for use as a traditional oven. The appliance is designed to provide greater flexibility and versatility in cooking options.

Problems solved by technology

Hinges have certain drawbacks that may be inconvenient or undesirable to users.
For example, removing food items from the upper cooking chamber can be difficult or awkward.
In particular, the upper cooking chamber may be relatively small compared to the lower cooking chamber, and reaching into the upper cooking chamber to grasp and handle cookware therein can be difficult or awkward.
In addition, monitoring the cooking of food items within the upper cooking chamber can be difficult due to poor visibility of the food items within the upper cooking chamber even when the door to the upper cooking chamber is open.
