Abstract: A steam generator system for a cooking appliance includes an in-line heating element coupled to a heating tube, wherein water from a water reservoir is gravitationally fed into the heating tube for heating by the in-line heating element to produce a hot water and steam mixture. A first supply line is coupled to the heating tube to carry the mixture to a separator without the need for moving or complex pump parts. The separator separates steam and hot water from the mixture of the two. A second supply line is coupled to the separator at a first end and opens into the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance at a second end. The second supply line is configured to supply steam separated at the separator to the cooking cavity via a steam outlet disposed in the cooking cavity.

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 air baffle unit includes a major housing wall extending in first and second directions to define an exterior side and an interior side, two upper corner output vent openings, first and second laterally opposed side vent openings, and an air intake opening arrangement defined within an intake area along the major housing wall and extending therealong in the first and second directions. The air intake opening arrangement is defined in an intake area and includes first and second pluralities of intake vents positioned within respective first and second open areas of the intake area with first and second closed areas extending between the first and second open areas. The first and second open areas and first and second closed areas each positioned within respective quarters of the intake area. The open areas are displaced relative to each other in both the first direction and the second direction.
