ABSTRACT:
A cooking appliance equipped for indoor grilling includes an integrally formed, sheet metal reflector pan interposed between the grill member and the drip pan. The reflector pan has a bottom wall which extends beneath the heating element and four generally upwardly extending side walls to shield the area laterally adjacent the grill area from the radiant energy of the heating element. The reflector pan is configured between its corners to define an air gap between the reflector pan and the adjacent cooktop which provides an air flow path between the area above the cooktop and the area between the drip pan and the reflector pan. When the heating element is energized cooling air is drawn by convection from above the cooktop downwardly through the air gap into the area between the drip pan and the reflector pan and upwardly through narrow slots in the bottom of the reflector pan.
