Explanation:
Lastig! Ik zou me niet aan een "100-procentige" vertaling wagen, en het houden op een min of meer letterlijke vertaling (tophead-oven) , eventueel met een toelichting tussen haakjes erbij, zoals: bovenladende oven, of iets dergelijks. Liever nog: pak je cliënt bij z'n kladden en vraag om uitleg.
