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.
