An oven including a baffle assembly including: (i) a top inlet positioned to draw air from the cooking chamber, (ii) a pair of top outlets, positioned laterally away from the top inlet, one top outlet positioned at each of two sides of the baffle assembly to return air to the cooking chamber, (iii) top air flow paths from the top inlet to the pair of top outlets, (iv) a bottom inlet positioned to draw air from the cooking chamber, (v) a pair of bottom outlets, positioned laterally away from the bottom inlet, one bottom outlet at each of the two sides of the baffle assembly to return air to the cooking chamber, and (vi) bottom air flow paths from the bottom inlet to the pair of bottom outlets.

Baffle assembly for an oven to generate distinct air flow regions within a cooking chamber having a different temperature

A vent assembly for use with an oven. The vent assembly includes polymeric end caps that are ultrasonically molded to a metal bracket. The metal bracket is coupled to a lower fin and an upper fin. The polymeric end caps include support surfaces for holding sections of the lower fin, the upper fin, and the metal bracket.

An oven includes a cooking chamber, a cabinet at least partially surrounding the cooking chamber, and a water reservoir having a reservoir inlet and a reservoir outlet. The oven further includes a water fill assembly including an opening, a water-receiving cavity and a fill outlet from the water-receiving cavity, the water fill assembly defining a fluid flow path in from the opening and out through the fill outlet, a check valve in fluid communication with the fill outlet downstream of the fluid flow path defined by the water fill assembly, the check valve configured in a closed state under a force of gravity on at least a portion thereof and opening by a flow force of fluid out of the fill outlet and through the check valve, and a conduit connecting the check valve with the water reservoir inlet downstream of the fill outlet.

A ventilation system for an oven is provided. A side duct assembly includes a substantially vertical exit duct portion adjacent to an oven cavity wrapper defining an oven cavity of the oven, the substantially vertical exit duct portion having an air intake configured to receive a cavity air flow from an air intake along a side of a cavity wrapper. The side duct assembly further includes an angled duct portion defining an air passage angled upwards and towards a rear of the oven, the angled duct portion having an input end configured to receive the cavity air flow from the top of the substantially vertical exit duct portion and an output end configured to provide the cavity air flow into a mixing zone at the rear of the oven for mixing the cavity air flow with an electronics air flow from oven electronics into a combined air flow.

High flow cavity ventilation

A deflector assembly in a cooking appliance door includes a fin with a directing flange and a projection. The projection extends toward the central panel and is configured to concentrate cool air flow within the channels of the cooking appliance door. The directing flange cooperates with a tab to define a single opening through which the cool air is concentrated and directed toward an upper portion of the cooking appliance door.
