The glass on the front and the interior illumination of your oven is a key area where SCHOTT brings design and functionality together. As well as providing an attractive view on the cooking process, the outstanding thermal resistance of our glass enables technology such as pyrolysis. SCHOTT products also play a key role in temperature control and the protection of electrical components, while also offering a wide range of options for control panels.

SCHOTT’s heat-resistant glass and glass-ceramics give small electrical appliances such as irons and toasters a sleek and stylish look. Glass also works well in control panels on automatic coffee machines, combining transparency and strong compatibility with touch controls. Working from within, SCHOTT SEFUSE® temperature fuses are important safety devices in electrical appliances, required to protect devices such as hair dryers or irons against potential overheating.
