Abstract: 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.
