A gas oven, comprising: an interior cavity including an opening, a rear wall opposite the opening, and a floor extending between the opening and the rear wall; a burner unit having a heat output extending from the floor adjacent the rear wall, a convection unit having a fan whose axis extends from the rear wall generally normal thereto; and an air baffle unit mounted on the rear wall and extending over the fan, wherein the baffle unit comprises: • a major housing wall extending in first and second directions (16,18) to define an exterior side and an interior side; • two upper corners output vent openings (24, 25) defined on top left and right corners of the baffle unit extending from an upper edge of the major housing wall on the interior side thereof; • first and second laterally opposed side vent openings (28, 30) defined along respective lateral sides of the baffle unit extending from respective side edges (32, 34) of the major housing wall on the interior side thereof; and • characterized in that the baffle unit further comprises an air intake opening arrangement defined within an intake area along the major housing wall and extending therealong in the first and second directions (16, 18), the air intake opening arrangement including first and second pluralities of intake vents positioned within respective first and second open areas (44, 46) of the intake area with first and second closed areas (48, 50) extending between the first and second open areas (44, 46), the first and second open areas (44,46) and the first and second closed areas (48, 50) each occupying a respective quarter of the intake area, the open areas (44, 46) being displaced relative to each other in both the first direction and the second direction, whereby the overall configuration of the oven being such that in operation the fan of the convection unit draws air through the open areas (44, 46) of the intake area and distributes an air flow among the upper corners (24, 25) and the side vent openings (28, 30) of the baffle unit. an interior cavity including an opening, a rear wall opposite the opening, and a floor extending between the opening and the rear wall;
