摘要

An oven is provided including an oven cavity (12) and an outlet duct (16) for receiving exhaust gas from the oven cavity. The oven further includes a flow control device (22) attached to the outlet duct. The flow control device includes a damper assembly (40) positioned at least partially within the outlet duct. The damper assembly is movable with respect to the outlet duct. The flow control device further includes a drive unit (24) attached to the damper assembly, the drive unit selectively moving the damper assembly between a closed position in which the damper assembly blocks a flow of the exhaust gas through the outlet duct and an opened position. The oven further includes a control system (60) for controlling the damper assembly.
