Abstract
An oven unit in which a gas broiler is mounted above an oven cavity, inside a plenum and separated from the oven cavity by a radiation transparent panel, such as glass. The food in the oven is thus heated via radiation transmitted through the glass panel, and flue products from the broiler are kept above this panel and exit through flue outlets in the plenum area, without entering the oven cavity.
Claims12
An oven unit comprising:
- a gas broiler for mounting above an oven cavity;
- and
- a panel for separating the broiler and the oven cavity to prevent broiler flue products from entering the oven cavity;
- said panel including a portion beneath the broiler which is substantially transparent to radiation so that radiation from the broiler heats items in the oven cavity.
