Abstract: A cooking appliance includes first and second French-style doors connected through a door linkage system. The door linkage system includes first and second control arms, each including a first end linked to a corresponding one of the first and second doors and a second end. The second ends of the first and second control arms are interconnected and mounted so as to travel in an arcuate path when one of the doors is operated. Shifting one of the first and second doors in an open or closed direction results in a corresponding movement in the other door. The first and second control arms are actually interconnected to a linkage control arm that establishes a particular timing of the doors. The door linkage system also employs a camming surface, cam follower and spring element that provides a biasing force to the doors.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a gas burner module having a base structure upon which is secured at least a gas burner element and a gas orifice defining member in a predetermined alignment. The base structure is preferably formed from stamped steel. The burner module also preferably includes a gas igniter. The gas burner module is adapted to be mounted to heat an oven cavity of the cooking appliance. With this arrangement, tolerance build-up leading to misalignment between critical components is greatly reduced thereby improving manufacturing and combustion repeatability, as well as enhanced field replacement. In this manner, the cooking appliance will consistently operate within prescribed agency limitations.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an oven cavity accessed through first and second French-style doors that are connected to the appliance through a door linkage system. The door linkage system establishes a particular timing of door openings and closings to minimize potential wear of a door gasket. That is, each of the doors has an associated gasket for use in sealing the oven cavity when the doors are closed. One of the doors is provided with an annular gasket, while the other door essentially incorporates a less that fully annular, preferably 3-sided or a three-quarter gasket. With this arrangement, each of the gaskets has three sides adapted to seal against a cabinet shell portion of the appliance, while the fourth side of the first gasket is adapted to seal against an extension provided on the other door.

Abstract: A gas cooking appliance includes at least one oven cavity which is coated with a heat resistant material, preferably porcelain. The cooking appliance includes a gas broil element and an associated baffle, as well as a gas igniter, arranged atop the oven cavity. The baffle is provided with one or more openings above the igniter for ventilation purposes. Each opening is preferably defined by a louver. With the inclusion of the louvered opening, enhanced combustion is assured and any potential crazing zone of the oven cavity is shifted to a position wherein, should any heat resistant material chip off due to heat from the igniter, the material will be blocked from falling into any food support zone of the oven cavity.

Abstract: A cook appliance in the form of a range having upper and lower oven is provided with an exhaust system including an exhaust duct for the lower oven which extends through an exhaust duct for the upper oven. Each of the exhaust ducts leads to an exhaust air box which defines an exhaust outlet for the appliance. Preferably, the exhaust duct for the lower oven has associated therewith an extension sleeve which divides the exhaust air box into separate exhaust zones for the upper and lower ovens. Provisions are made to dilute and/or cool exhaust gases flowing through the ducts prior to the exhaust gases existing the appliance.

Abstract: A convection cooking appliance includes a convection fan for establishing a convection airflow which is heated by a heating element including first and second sections that are symmetrically disposed about the convection fan substantially parallel to and downstream of the convection fan. Each of the first and second sections is formed so as to include at least three lobes and four 180° turns, while establishing a thin profile heating element. A convection fan cover extends across the convection fan and includes a main body portion having an outlet portion for directing the convection airflow into a cooking chamber of the appliance. The outlet portion includes an angled louver and a trip edge portion. The angled louver and trip edge portion cooperate to alter a direction of the convection airflow from being substantially parallel to the main body portion to being substantially perpendicular the main body portion.
