Abstract: Aspects and features of a burner for a cooking appliance include a first plate defining flame ports arranged in flow-sharing groups around a periphery of a combustion surface and a second plate coextensive with the first plate. Each plate is contoured so that the plates define an annular void within the burner. The annular void is fluidly coupled to the flame ports. In some aspects, each flow-sharing group includes clusters of flame ports, with each cluster including flame ports of two different diameters. The plates can each be made using the same tool such as a die, stamp, or mold, and the burner can be sized and installed in a cooking appliance so that it extends to cover a large portion of a wall of the cooking cavity of the appliance.

Abstract: An improved convection fan cover is provided. In one or more implementations, the improved convection fan cover has a shutter system. As the convection heating system operates, the shutter system opens and closes (or blocks and unblocks) vents in the convection fan cover, creating an oscillation effect that alters the flow of air throughout an oven cavity, contributing to a more even cooking profile.
