  • Patent number: 9513015
    Abstract: A cooking oven controlled by an included retail-grade control device having a capacitive glass touchscreen and running a specialized cooking and controlling app, such as an Android tablet. A cooling system for the oven provides a reverse air flow cooling system that pulls air in from the top front of the oven rather than pushing it out. A single cooling fan provides adequate cooling to the control device, as well as providing cooling to a front door of the oven and also convective flow through the heating chamber. The control device is mounted in an upper control bezel which has a series of lateral air intake openings on a rear wall. The cooling fan actively cools the control device by pulling air into the intake openings and through a lower exhaust opening.

  • Publication number: 20140110391
    Abstract: A baffle for directing air in a convection oven is disclosed herein. The baffle includes upper vents, lower vents and side vents that direct air from a fan into the cooking chamber of the convection oven. Left and right conduits are disposed around the fan that collect the air and direct the air to the upper and lower vents. The left and right conduits and locations of the upper and lower vents are configured to produce an even distribution of cooking temperatures throughout the cooking chamber.
