Commento su Kelim 8:7
הַשֶּׁרֶץ שֶׁנִּמְצָא בָעַיִן שֶׁל תַּנּוּר, בָּעַיִן שֶׁל כִּירָה, בָּעַיִן שֶׁל כֻּפָּח, מִן הַשָּׂפָה הַפְּנִימִית וְלַחוּץ, טָהוֹר. וְאִם הָיָה בָאֲוִיר, אֲפִלּוּ כַזַּיִת מִן הַמֵּת, טָהוֹר. וְאִם יֶשׁ שָׁם פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, הַכֹּל טָמֵא:
Se è stato trovato uno sheretz nel foro dell'occhio di un forno o di una doppia stufa o di una singola stufa: Se era fuori dal bordo interno, [il forno o la stufa] è puro. Se [il forno] era all'aria aperta, anche se era un grosso ammasso di cadavere di oliva, è puro. Se c'era [nel foro dell'occhio] un'apertura di un soffio, è tutto impuro.
Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
בעין של תנור – it is a hole similar to an eye that one makes in the oven to remove the smoke, and when they bring the bread into the oven, they stop up/close it so that they heat does not escape, and it is not considered as the inside of the oven.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A sheretz which was found in the eye-hole of an oven or of a double stove or of a single stove: If it was outside the inner edge, it is clean. The eye-hole of an oven is a hole made in the bottom of the oven or stove to let in air and let out smoke. It also could have been used to remove the ashes. If a sheretz was found outside of the inner edge of this hole, the oven remains pure. This is because the hole is not considered to be inside the oven or stove.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
אם היה באויר – in an uncovered place that was not underneath the tent, even an olive’s bulk from the corpse is placed in the eye/vent/outlet, the oven is ritually pure, for the defilement does not enter into it since the eye/outlet/vent is not open a [square] handbreadth [in length, breadth and height].

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If it [the oven] was in the open air, even if it was an olive's bulk of corpse it is clean. If the oven was outside in the open air, meaning it was not inside a house or other building, and a source of impurity is found in its eye-hole, the oven is pure because the impurity cannot enter the oven. And since it is outside, there is no "tent" through which an olive's bulk of corpse could convey its impurity to the oven (we will learn a lot more about this as we proceed). Thus the oven remains clean.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
ואם יש בו פותח טפח – that the thickness of the rim of the outer eye/vent protrudes and overshadows on an olive’s bulk from the corpse by a square handbreadth.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If there was [in the eye-hole] an opening of one handbreadth, it is all unclean. However, if there was an opening the size of a handbreadth in the eye-hole (besides its main opening) then the impurity can enter through it into the oven, and the oven is impure.
