Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are systems and methods that optimize electrical component compartment cooling in a cooking device, such as a combi-steamer. The systems and methods according to the present disclosure provide supplemental air movement devices, such as fans, in the electrical component compartment and, optionally, in the mechanical compartment. These supplemental air movement devices allow reducing the energy consumption of cooking ovens such as combi-steamers by reducing the effort required by a main cooling fan to cool the electrical compartment. Reducing the effort required by the main cooling fan to cool the electrical compartment also reduces or avoids the cooling effect that over-use of the main cooling fan has on the cooking chamber. Also, temperature fluctuations in the electrical compartment are reduced which can also prolong the effective life of the electrical components, again reducing operating and repair costs for the cooking device.
