Abstract
A venting system for a gas oven of a cooking range that also has a cooktop portion. The venting system includes a flat duct above the oven on each side that communicates with an elongated opening in the top of the oven on that side and the duct conducts the gases of combustion from the oven upwardly to the lateral edges of the cooktop. A vent manifold is mounted on the top along each lateral edge of the cooktop and communicates with the duct on that side to distribute the exhaust gases forwardly and rearwardly along both lateral sides of the cooktop, whereby normal operation of the cooktop gas burners is not adversely affected, no hot spots of exhaust gases from the oven are created, and the working depth of the cooktop is maximized.
