COMBINED BAKING AND BROILING GAS OVEN

摘要

A single cavity gas cooking oven with a combined baking and broiling gas burner mounted adjacent the top wall of the oven liner. The burner has a top baking zone and a bottom broiling zone and an adjustable valve for supplying gas either to the top zone or the bottom zone. Air channels are formed above the oven liner, down the back of the oven liner as well as beneath the oven liner. A fan in the air channels draws air in the top front and discharges it out the bottom front of the oven. An air inlet opening is formed in the top wall of the oven liner to communicate with the top air channel and supply a flow of secondary air over the burner. An oven exhaust vent is formed adjacent the bottom wall of the oven liner. A duct connects with the exhaust vent and extends across the floor of the oven liner, up the back wall and through the top wall to discharge the oven gases into the top air channel due to a venturi effect where they mix and are eventually discharged from the oven.
