The surface heating units and ventilating air intake rest over a cut-out portion of the cabinet countertop with a ventilating air plenum and motor driven fan depending from the top surface of the range and disposed in the underlying cabinet. A housing enclosing an electronic air filtering unit is mounted closely adjacent the ventilating air plenum with a duct connecting the discharge of the fan and the interior of the filter unit housing. After moving through the filter unit, the air exits from the housing through a discharge opening at the front of the cabinet into the kitchen environs.

US Classification:

219 1049R

Abstract:

An induction cooking cartridge is disclosed which includes an internal fan for cooling the various induction heating components. The cooking cartridge is constructed so that a unique airflow path is defined with cooling airflow entering the mounting recess in at least two areas and entering the cartridge cavity at the bottom and at the top. The airflow is directed over the induction heating circuitry for cooling it and then is exhausted through the fan to an exhaust conduit which surrounds the exhaust opening and conducts the exhaust air to the kitchen environment.
