A convection cooking appliance includes an oven cavity and an air channel assembly that extends about at least a portion of the oven cavity. The air channel assembly includes an air delivery section and a return section, both of which are preferably attached to the oven cavity through a quick latching connection. More specifically, the air delivery section is preferably mounted about an opening in a top wall of the oven cavity through a twist lock arrangement, while the return section is mounted about another opening formed in a bottom wall of the oven cavity also through a twist lock. The overall appliance also incorporates a microwave unit and a metal gasket is interposed at the connections of each of the air delivery section and the return section to the oven cavity in order to provide a continuous ground path between the components in order to contain the microwave energy.
