Abstract
An electric cooking range includes an oven having an electric baking element and a back panel positioned behind the oven. A spacer bracket is positioned between the back panel and an electrical terminal block. A bottom panel is positioned below the bracket and spaced apart from a number of mounting feet so as to create a gap between the bottom panel and the mounting feet. The bracket has a passageway positioned over an opening formed in the bottom panel such that when the baking element is energized, air from the gap is drawn into the passageway and advanced upwardly along the passageway.
