Abstract:
A household cooking appliance, in particular an oven, comprises a cooking chamber (6) defined by a muffle (5) having a flue with a fume outlet (7) at an upper wall (5a) of the muffle (5), and a front door (4), for opening and closing the cooking chamber (6). The appliance further comprises a delivery channel (30), defined by a duct body (10) that extends above the upper wall (5a) of the muffle (5), the duct body (10) having an outlet (30a) of the delivery channel (30) that is substantially at a front region of the appliance, above an aupper portion of the door (4), and having a fume inlet (10d) in a lower wall (10a) of the duct body (10), which is in fluid communication with the fume outlet (7) of the muffle (5) and with the delivery channel (30). Operatively associated to the duct body (10) is a ventilation assembly (20), so as to draw in fumes from the fume outlet (7) of the muffle (5) and expel them from the outlet (30a) of the delivery channel (30), the ventilation assembly (20) being in a rear end region of the duct body (10) that is generally opposite to the outlet (30a) of the delivery channel (30). The ventilation assembly comprises (20) a radial fan (21) with a centrifugal impeller (22) inside the duct body (10), the centrifugal impeller (22) being positioned above the fume inlet (10d) of the duct body (20) substantially coaxial thereto and to the fume outlet (7) of the muffle (5) in such a way that at least the fumes are drawn in from the fume outlet (7) substantially in the direction of the axis (X) of the impeller (22) and forced in a radial direction into the delivery channel (30) for being expelled from the corresponding outlet (30a).
