Abstract: A method for operating an oven appliance includes establishing a set temperature, operating a heating element of the oven appliance in order to heat a cooking chamber of the oven appliance to a target temperature with the heating element, and continually reducing the target temperature to the set temperature. A related control system for an oven appliance is also provided.

Abstract: An oven appliance with one or more features for controlling airflow within a cooking chamber of the oven appliance. Further, a method for operating an oven appliance to control airflow within a cooking chamber of the oven appliance. In particular, the oven includes features for and the method includes steps for dynamic control of the speed of a convection fan over an oven cycle to maintain proper airflow within the cooking chamber for cooking performance of the cooking chamber.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the humidity in a cooking chamber of an oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a cooking chamber, a cooling air flow passageway positioned outside the cooking chamber, a cooling fan positioned in the cooling air flow passageway, and a vent enabling flow communication between the cooking chamber and cooling air flow passageway. One or more humidity sensors may be placed in or around the oven appliance to measure the humidity of the ambient air and the humidity of the air in the cooking chamber. A controller may achieve improved humidity control of the cooking chamber by selectively operating the cooling fan to adjust the humidity within the cooking chamber based on the measured humidity of the ambient air and the air in the cooking chamber.

Abstract: An oven appliance having at least two cooking chambers with features for ensuring the cooking chambers exit preheat and finish cooking food items within each cooking chamber at the same time is provided. A method for operating an oven appliance having at least two cooking chambers also is provided. The method includes features for ensuring the cooking chambers exit preheat and finish cooking food items within each cooking chamber at the same time.

Abstract: An oven appliance with one or more features for minimizing the time to preheat the cooking chamber and balancing the heat distribution within the cooking chamber of the oven appliance is provided. Features for minimizing the acoustic noise of the oven appliance are also provided. Further, a method for operating an oven appliance to minimize the preheat time and balance the heat distribution within the cooking chamber of the oven appliance while minimizing acoustic noise is provided.
