ABSTRACT:
A self-cleaning gas range has its frame support an oven with a storage compartment beneath the oven in spaced relation thereto. A burner, which is beneath the oven and above the storage compartment, heats the oven to a temperature to produce self cleaning. A baffle assembly, which is beneath a heat shield beneath the burner and above the storage compartment, prevents the top of the storage compartment from exceeding a predetermined maximum temperature when self cleaning occurs. The baffle assembly includes a bottom baffle of galvanized steel attached to the frame and forming the top of the storage compartment, an intermediate baffle of galvanized steel above the bottom baffle in spaced relation thereto, and an inner baffle of reflecting aluminum above the intermediate baffle in spaced relation thereto with the three baffles assembled to each other. Air passages in the intermediate baffle are not aligned with air passages in the bottom and top baffles so that air flows from beneath the bottom baffle through the air passages in the three baffles in a circuitous path and through openings in the heat shield to the burner. A radiation shield is supported on a brace extending between downwardly extending portions of the oven side walls only by point contacts. Each side wall has louvered openings beneath the first baffle and communicating with an air passage in the side wall so that air flows over the bottom of the first baffle and into the air passages.
