Abstract: A home appliance with a cooktop and an oven cavity. A gas-operable burner for heating the cavity to a cooking temperature and including a gas mixing pipe is mounted to the appliance with a bracket and has an inlet for intake of gas and air for combustion, the gas mixing pipe being mounted to the appliance with a bracket. A ventilation channel extends through the appliance body. A fan is in fluid communication with the ventilation channel for creating an airstream within the ventilation channel. An air conduit extends between the ventilation channel and the gas mixing pipe, with an air conduit inlet in the airstream and an air conduit outlet adjacent the gas mixing pipe to direct air from the airstream to the gas mixing pipe for combustion with the gas and air. An air conduit stabilization apparatus mounts the air conduit to the gas mixing pipe bracket.
