  • Patent number: 7044122
    Abstract: The invention concerns an oven wherein a globally parallelepiped muffle chamber (1) contains a centrifugal convection turbine (9) driven by a motor (10) and arranged adjacent to the center of the rear peripheral wall (7). Annular electrical resistors (12, 13) are placed at the periphery of the turbine, the assembly being surrounded by a mechanical protection grid (22). The convection turbine (9) and the heating means (12, 13) are placed in the muffle chamber (1) communicating directly with the cooking volume (81), without separating wall countering the air flow. The oven is thus provided both with self-cleaning effect and a better cooking heat distribution in the oven.

  • Patent number: 5768982
    Abstract: A convection steam oven includes an enclosure with a fan for circulating air and heating elements downstream of the fan. An inlet pipe conducts water from a water supply to an outlet orifice directing a jet of water onto a spray cone that throws the water onto the fins of the fan and onto the heating elements. The inlet pipe includes a water flowrate regulator device including a watertight storage tank, an overflow pipe and a vent pipe. A solenoid valve controlled by a timer is provided upstream of the storage tank.
