Abstract

The invention relates to a cooking appliance (1) with a cooking chamber (3) and a heat exchanger (7), wherein the heat exchanger (7) comprises a discharge device (8) designed for removing steam from the cooking chamber (3) and a supply air duct (9) through which supply air flows, wherein the heat exchanger (7) is designed to transfer heat from the steam flowing through the discharge device (8) to the supply air, and wherein a muffle (4) of the cooking appliance (1) delimiting the cooking chamber (3) has at least one supply air opening (13) through which supply air heated by means of the heat exchanger (7) can be introduced into the cooking chamber (3), wherein the cooking appliance (1) comprises a fan (14) designed to supply an airflow to the heat exchanger (7), and wherein the cooking appliance (1) has at least one adjusting element (15, 16) by means of which it is adjustable what proportion of the airflow passes through the at least one supply air opening. (13) can be placed in the cooking chamber (3),and what proportion of the airflow can be introduced into a sub-compartment (19) of the cooking appliance (1) that is different from the cooking chamber (3). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for operating the cooking appliance (1).
