(57) 57 A floor standing electric cooker is provided comprising a casing (21,29), a hob
(10), an upper oven (12) and a lower fan oven (14) housed in an oven space of the
casing above a plinth (16). Convective cooling air (27) enters the plinth (16) and
a first part flows through openings (25) in floor (24) through the oven space, discharging
through hob opening (33). A second part (30) flows from the rear of the plinth (16)
up wall (29). When the lower oven (14) is in use cooling fan (37) coaxial with oven
fan (36) provides a forced flow of cool outside air into the oven space. Air is ducted
by cover (41) past terminals (40) to fan inlet (38) whereby the terminals (40) are
kept cool when the lower oven (14) is on. Despite the compactness of the cooker, the
cooling of sidewalls (21) is sufficiently effective for them to butt against kitchen
units without an air gap.
