  • Patent number: 5866886
    Abstract: An over-the-range type oven incorporating a bottom plate having substantially triangular shaped openings, or inlets, is described. In one embodiment, the bottom plate has a first, interior surface and a second, range-facing surface. First and second triangular shaped openings, or inlets, extend through the bottom plate, and each triangular shaped opening has a first leg, a second leg and a third leg. The bottom plate may further include a first air guide positioned adjacent at least one of the first opening legs and extending from the bottom plate first, interior surface for directing air flow through the first opening and into the oven cabinet, and a second air guide positioned adjacent at least one of the second opening legs and extending from the bottom plate first, interior surface for directing air flow through the second opening and into the oven cabinet.
