Abstract

A convection oven is given a lower profile so that two ovens may be stacked without exceeding a height so that the uppermost of the stacked ovens may be comfortably reached by a relatively short person. Also, the oven requires less floor space for installation and operation. The height of the oven is reduced by placing inshot burners at an inlet to the oven. Heretofore, the burners were placed under the oven, which increased the space which must be provided to enclose the burner, and therefore the overall height of the burner. The height of the oven is reduced by allowing the flue gas flow from front to rear before entering the cooking cavity. Heretofore, the flue gas flowed from under the cooking cavity to the sides and up towards the top of the cooking cavity. From there, it traveled to the top of the cooking cavity before entering the cooking cavity itself. Cool ambient air is blown over oven controls in order to cool them before the air is heated by the burners.
