Double oven combination with an integrated cooling air and exhaust air flow arrangement
First Claim
1. An integrated cooling air and exhaust air flow arrangement for influencing the heat dissipation of a double oven combination formed of two ovens arranged with one oven above and relatively proximate to the other oven, the double oven combination adapted to be installed into an area of a structure, the integrated cooling air and exhaust air flow arrangement comprising:
- a first air guiding path for guiding a mixture of cooling air and air that has been exhausted from the upper oven downwardly to a base channel extending below the lower oven, the first air guiding path receiving cooling air that has entered via a cooling air entry above the upper oven;
a second air guiding path for guiding a mixture of cooling air and air that has been exhausted from the lower oven downwardly to the base channel extending below the lower oven, the second air guiding path including a mid-channel formed above the lower oven and below the upper oven with cooling air entering the mid-channel from outwardly of the upper and lower ovens and mixing in the mid-channel with heated air that has exited a top portion of an oven door that selectively closes and permits access to an access opening of an oven cavity of the lower oven; and
a cooling air only guiding path for guiding cooling air downwardly to the base channel extending below the lower oven, the cooling air only guiding path extending from the cooling air entry above the upper oven to the base channel extending below the lower oven and the cooling air only guiding path being segregated from the first air guiding path and the second air guiding path.

Abstract
A double oven combination is configured to be “built-in” an area of a household—in other words, permanently secured relative to the household area and integrated with other elements of the household area to provide a consistent decorative appearance. The double oven combination comprises an upper oven and a lower oven each of which may be a convection or non-convection oven that cooks and heats food and other substances via radiant and convective heating, and a control panel. The double oven combination has an integrated cooling air and exhaust air flow arrangement for efficiently guiding exhaust air away from the upper oven and the lower oven while at the same time effectively flowing cooling air relative to the double oven combination to promote desired cooling of the double oven combination.
