Abstract: A cooking appliance comprises an outer frame surface defining a cooktop and the cooktop defines an outlet port. An inner frame surface defines a heating cavity disposed below the cooktop and within the outer frame surface. The inner frame surface defines an inlet port and a chimney extends between a first end connected to the inlet port and a second end connected to the outlet port for directing steam from the heating cavity outside of the cooking appliance. A nozzle apparatus is connected around the outlet port and includes an inner wall defining at least one aperture. The at least one aperture is oriented at an acute angle relative to the cooktop. The nozzle apparatus includes at least one post for connection to the cooktop.

Abstract: An oven air circulation apparatus includes a first fan coupled to at least one motor that rotates about a first rotational axis in a first direction and a second fan that rotates about a second rotational axis in a second direction, opposite the first direction. A baffle wall is disposed proximate to the first fan and the second fan forming a planar surface arranged substantially perpendicular to the rotational axes of the fans. A plurality of first openings formed in the baffle wall are aligned with the first fan. A plurality of second openings are formed in the baffle wall aligned with the second fan. The first and second openings successively increase in proportion radially outward from the first and second axes, respectively.

Abstract: An oven includes a cooking chamber, a cabinet at least partially surrounding the cooking chamber, and a water reservoir having a reservoir inlet and a reservoir outlet. The oven further includes a water fill assembly including an opening, a water-receiving cavity and a fill outlet from the water-receiving cavity, the water fill assembly defining a fluid flow path in from the opening and out through the fill outlet, a check valve in fluid communication with the fill outlet downstream of the fluid flow path defined by the water fill assembly, the check valve configured in a closed state under a force of gravity on at least a portion thereof and opening by a flow force of fluid out of the fill outlet and through the check valve, and a conduit connecting the check valve with the water reservoir inlet downstream of the fill outlet.
