• a recessed pocket formed into the flange along an extended portion of the front face;
• at least one inner retention lug positioned adjacent to, and extending a first distance over, the recessed pocket and located on a side of the recessed pocket closest to the front face;

• at least one outer retention lug positioned adjacent to, and extending a second distance over, the recessed pocket and located on a side of the recessed pocket opposite from the inner retention lug;
• and
• a heat pipe disposed within the recessed pocket and secured therein by the inner and outer retentions lugs, the heat pipe configured to reduce and/or eliminate formation of condensation around the front face of the liner,
• wherein the inner retention lug is arranged on the flange in a staggered formation with respect to the outer retention lug, and wherein the inner retention lug has a first length spanning between a first forward end and a first rearward end, the outer retention lug has a second length spanning between a second forward end and a second rearward end, and the staggered formation is defined by the inner and outer retention lugs being positioned about the recessed pocket such that the first forward end of the inner retention lug is disposed adjacent the second rearward end of the outer retention lug, without said inner and outer retention lugs overlapping.
