Zusammenfassung:A heating appliance (18) includes inner and outer shells (14, 16) that are engaged to define an insulating cavity (12). The inner shell (16) includes an inner surface (20) that defines a heating cavity (22). An insulation member (24) includes a plurality of layers (26), each layer (26) including an insulative sheet (28) defining first and second surfaces (30, 32) and a plurality of microspheres (34) at least partially disposed within the insulative sheet (28), wherein at least a portion of the plurality of microspheres (34) extends outward from each of the first and second surfaces (30, 32) to define a plurality of protrusions (36), and wherein the engagement of two adjacent layers (26) of the plurality of layers (26) causes a portion of the plurality of protrusions to engage and define a plurality of insulating air pockets (38) between the adjacent layers (26).
