Abstract
Description
[0001] The base tables available so far for multifunctional table-top cooking and roasting appliances are, depending on the model, only suitable for storing Gastronorm containers or other kitchen utensils, but not food.
[0002] The food to be processed in the cooking appliance has to be fetched from another location, which wastes valuable working time and creates unnecessary travel to work.
[0003] This problem is solved by the features listed in the claims under 1. The invention achieves that significantly less working time must be invested and a large number of work journeys can be saved.
[0004] The refrigerator / freezer can be built in many different versions, each tailored to the specific needs of the user. (E.g., with various drawer configurations or doors)
[0005] It can be designed for a central refrigeration system or equipped with its own refrigeration machine.
[0006] A design of the worktop or base for the cooking appliance which is advantageous for installation and cleaning is described in claim 2.
[0007] A further advantage of the construction is described in claim 3, since higher loads can be absorbed here.
[0008] An example of implementation can be seen in the attached drawing.
[0009] It shows: 1. The refrigerated area, 2. The design of the worktop / surface for the cooking appliance 3. The heavy-duty drawers
Claims
