    摘要: A cooking appliance includes a ventilation system having a duct in fluid communication with a vent opening defined in a cooking surface. A set of first louvers and a set of second louvers are disposed in the duct and selectively moveable between a respective first position and second position. A blower motor with a selectable speed of operation is in fluid communication with duct. A controller module is operative to receive a first signal indicative of a value of a first parameter from a user interface, receive a second signal indicative of a measured a value of a second parameter from a sensor, and to selectively trigger a change in the blower motor speed of operation, position of the set of first louvers, or the position of the set of second louvers, based on the value of the first parameter and the second parameter.

    摘要: A cooking engagement system includes a cooktop appliance defining a top surface, the cooktop appliance including a plurality of heating elements defined on the top surface, an image monitor spaced apart from the top surface of the cooktop appliance along the vertical direction, a camera assembly positioned above the cooktop appliance, and a controller operably coupled with the camera assembly and the cooktop appliance, the controller being configured to initiate an operation. The operation includes directing a capture of a first front image at the camera assembly, identifying a first user based on the first image, directing a capture of a first lower image at the camera assembly, establishing a first cooktop-use profile based on the first lower image, and associating the first user with the first cooktop-use profile.

    摘要: A door assembly for a microwave appliance includes a door frame that defines a door plenum and an air inlet. A monitor cradle is positioned toward a front of the door frame for receiving an image monitor. A duct is mounted to the door frame to divide the plenum into a low pressure region and a high pressure region, and an air handler is mounted to the duct to urge a flow of air from the air inlet, through the low pressure region, and into high pressure region. The flow of air cools electronics in the high pressure region before passing through an upper outlet that directs the flow of air along a surface of the image monitor and through a lower outlet that directs the flow of air along a transverse direction below the image monitor.
