Abstract: A cooking oven includes: (a) a cooking cavity; (b) a door to provide selective access to the cooking cavity; (c) a forward panel facing the door when the door takes a closed position, the forward panel comprising a latch cutout; (d) a latch assembly with a base portion that extends from rearward of the forward panel, through the latch cutout with a gap between the latch cutout and the base portion, and forward of the forward panel to couple to the door; and (e) a seal, such as that provided by a latch cover, that at least partially seals the gap to reduce air flow through the gap. During use of the cooking oven, a forward surface of the door forward of the gap exhibits a reduced temperature compared to if no such seal, such as that provided by the latch cover, was included.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an internal support defining a cooking cavity. An upper wrapper is disposed above the internal support. A separator plate is disposed adjacent to the upper wrapper. A venting channel is defined between the separator plate and the upper wrapper. A chimney is coupled to the internal support and the upper wrapper. The chimney fluidly couples the cooking cavity and the venting channel. A venting assembly is coupled to the upper wrapper and includes an actuator and a cover. A controller is configured to activate the actuator to at least one of vertically and rotationally adjust the cover relative to a vent opening in the upper wrapper to control an amount of steam in the cooking cavity in response to a sensed humidity.

Abstract: A divider for an oven includes a first panel configured to spatially separate the oven cavity into respective upper and lower sub-cavities. The first panel defines a first plurality of apertures therethrough. A second panel is slidably mounted to the first panel and defines a second plurality of apertures that are collectively moveable relative to the first plurality of apertures by sliding of the second panel relative to the first panel between a heat transmission position and a closed position, wherein the ones of the second plurality of apertures are respectively aligned and unaligned with the respective ones of the first apertures. In various aspects, the divider may be configured as an integrated or permanently installed feature of an oven or may be a removable accessory for use with an oven.

Abstract: A ventilation system for an oven is provided. A side duct assembly includes a substantially vertical exit duct portion adjacent to an oven cavity wrapper defining an oven cavity of the oven, the substantially vertical exit duct portion having an air intake configured to receive a cavity air flow from an air intake along a side of a cavity wrapper. The side duct assembly further includes an angled duct portion defining an air passage angled upwards and towards a rear of the oven, the angled duct portion having an input end configured to receive the cavity air flow from the top of the substantially vertical exit duct portion and an output end configured to provide the cavity air flow into a mixing zone at the rear of the oven for mixing the cavity air flow with an electronics air flow from oven electronics into a combined air flow.
