Patent ID: 7100596

Claim:
Forced convection gas oven for cooking food, the oven comprising: a muffle with a generally parallelepiped interior cavity delimited by a lower floor wall, an upper ceiling wall and four peripheral walls, at least one of the peripheral walls being provided with an access door for entry of food to be cooked into the interior cavity of the muffle and its exit therefrom, a centrifugal convection turbine, driven in rotation by a motor, disposed in the interior cavity of the muffle in the vicinity of the center of an adjacent peripheral wall with no access door, mounted to rotate about a rotation axis perpendicular to the adjacent peripheral wall, and adapted to aspirate air axially toward the center of the adjacent peripheral wall and to discharge it radially toward the edges of the adjacent peripheral wall, a gas burner, supplied with gas via a supply pipe, placed axially in the aspiration inlet of the convection turbine, directed toward a peripheral wall of the oven and toward the center of the convection turbine, comprising a posterior heating plate, with holes through which gas can flow distributed over its surface and adapted to heat the air that is propelled into the muffle by the convection turbine to cook the food, a cooking volume, reserved in the interior cavity of the muffle to receive food to be cooked; wherein the posterior heating plate comprises at least one ignition electrode and one flame control electrode, the electrodes are connected to a control device by respective connecting lines disposed inside the supply pipe.
