Abstract
An air distribution assembly for an oven appliance is provided. The air distribution assembly includes an air distribution manifold mounted to a housing of the oven appliance at an opening of the housing. An air handler draws air into the air distribution manifold through a manifold inlet, circulates the air throughout the air distribution manifold, and discharges the air through a manifold outlet. A variety of cooling air flow paths may be defined within the air distribution manifold and/or oven appliance, thereby providing optimal cooling with a simplified construction.
