A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking compartment in the housing and accessible through a door in the housing, a cooling air system conveying air through the housing, and an air channel in fluid communication with the cooling air system, the air channel having an outlet exhausting a portion of the air from the cooling air system along a rear wall of the housing.

Strategies for providing aesthetically acceptable ventilation for appliances requiring ventilation are described. In one or more implementations, a notch is cut along the upper edge of a cabinet toe kick to allow ambient air to enter and exit an air cavity disposed behind the toe kick. A fence or trim piece is then installed in front of the notch to hide the notch from view and to create a labyrinth vent allowing ambient air to enter and exit the air cavity. This ambient air flow is required for proper operation of appliances requiring ventilation.

A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking compartment in the housing, a flue in the housing and in fluid communication with the cooking compartment for exhausting flue gases from the cooking compartment, an exhaust outlet for exhausting the flue gases from the housing, and a flue boundary connecting the flue and the exhaust outlet, the flue boundary separating flue gases from cooling air flowing through the housing and preventing dilution of flue gases with cooling air. The housing includes a cooling rough-in box having a cooling air flow channel for cooling the rear wall of the flue boundary. The cooling rough-in box includes an opening permitting the cooling air to be drawn into the cooling air flow channel from an exterior of the housing by convection owing to heat on the rear wall of the flue boundary.

A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking surface on a top of the housing, the cooking surface having an upper surface, and a rear vent trim on the top of the housing and at a rear side of the top of the housing. The rear vent trim has an upper surface that is substantially flush with the upper surface of the cooking surface. The rear vent trim includes an opening permitting air to exit from within the rear vent trim, and the rear vent trim directs the air away from a 90&#xb0; angle with respect to the upper surface of the cooking surface.

A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking surface on a top of the housing, a cooking compartment in the housing, a cooling air system conveying air through the housing, and an exhaust channel in fluid communication with the cooling air system, the exhaust channel disposed at a rear corner of the housing and exhausting a portion of the cooling air in an upward direction from the rear corner of the housing.

A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking surface on a top of the housing, a cooking compartment in the housing, a cooling air system conveying air through the housing, and a fan channel in fluid communication with the cooling air system, the fan channel having an inlet that takes in air from along a rear wall of the housing into the cooling air system.

A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking surface on a top of the housing, a cooking compartment in the housing, a cooling air system conveying air through the housing, and a rear exhaust louver on the housing, the rear exhaust louver in fluid communication with the cooling air system and exhausting a portion of the air from the housing in an upward direction substantially in a plane of the rear wall of the housing to increase air pressure along a kitchen wall adjacent to the rear wall of the appliance.

An appliance base for an appliance for supporting the appliance during manufacture and use, with the appliance base including a skeletal outer frame structure including a generally elongate 'U'-base rail member and first and second 'U'-side rails extending outwardly from the first and second ends of the &#x201c;U&#x201d;-base rail at generally right angles therewith. The outer frame structure defines four corners and a support area intermediate the &#x201c;U&#x201d;-base rail member and the &#x201c;U&#x201d;-side rails. The appliance base includes an inner frame structure including an index ring disposed in substantially the center of the support area, a plurality of diagonally extending support members with a diagonal support member extending inwardly from each corner of the outer frame structure and fixed to the index ring, and a front rail member extending between diagonal cross members on a side opposite from the &#x201c;U&#x201d;-base rail member.
