Abstract
A cooking unit has a housing having a front and a rear and formed at the rear with an upwardly open upright vent passage, a ceramic panel on the housing defining a plurality of cooking spots, a burner plate in the housing spaced underneath the panel and defining therewith an upper compartment opening upward into the passage, and respective gas burners supported on the plate underneath the spots. Thus the burners can heat the respective spots of the panel. An equipment plate in the housing spaced underneath the burner plate defines therewith an intermediate compartment also opening upward into the passage and defines beneath itself in the housing a lower compartment that is open to the outside at the front of the housing. Control equipment is mounted in the lower compartment of the housing along with a blower having an intake in this lower compartment and an outlet in the vent passage. This blower is powered, normally electrically, so as to draw a primary stream of air in from the front of the housing and through the lower compartment and to expel it upward into the passage. This primary current aspirates secondary streams of air from the upper and intermediate compartments by venturi action.
