[0002] COOKING EQUIPMENT

[0003] The present invention relates to a cooking device, in particular having at least one furniture front element for integration into a furniture front. The cooking device is designed in particular as a steam cooking device and comprises at least one base body comprising at least one upper side, at least one cooking chamber, and at least one air outlet opening for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body. At least one guide device is assigned to the air outlet opening, and the guide device is displaceable at least between a substantially open position and a substantially closed position. The present invention also relates to a built-in cooking appliance system and a household system.

[0004] A variety of different cooking appliances, such as ovens, microwave ovens and / or steam cooking appliances, with a cooking chamber for cooking food and / or foodstuffs have become known, which can be integrated in particular into a furniture front, e.g., a kitchen or a kitchen unit and / or the like.

[0005] Known cooking devices often have at least one air outlet to discharge air and / or vapors from the cooking chamber into the surroundings of the cooking device before, during, and / or after operation of the cooking device. Known cooking devices often additionally include at least one exhaust geometry to control the flow of air and / or vapors escaping from the air outlet opening and thus, for example, to protect the surroundings of the cooking device from contamination and / or damage caused by escaping air and / or vapors. Such known cooking devices operate largely reliably.

[0006] A disadvantage of such conventional cooking appliances, however, is that they often do not allow for a visually appealing design. For example, in cooking appliances designed for integration into a furniture front, the front of the cooking appliance should be flat to ensure a particularly appealing and aesthetic appearance for the cooking appliance and / or the furniture front.

[0007] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a cooking device that enables a visually appealing design, particularly when integrated into a furniture front, and preferably reliably controls the flow of air and / or vapors escaping from the air outlet. This object is achieved by a cooking device having the features of claim 1, a built-in cooking appliance system having the features of claim 10, and a household system having the features of claim 11. Preferred developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiments.

[0008] The cooking device according to the invention, in particular with at least one furniture front element for integration into a furniture front, is designed in particular as a steam cooking device and has at least one base body which comprises at least one upper side, at least one cooking chamber and at least one air outlet opening for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body. At least one guide device is assigned to the air outlet opening, wherein the guide device is displaceable at least between a substantially open position and a substantially closed position. The air outlet opening is arranged on the upper side of the base body and the guide device is suitable and designed to guide air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening in the open position substantially forward.

[0009] Preferably, the guide device is suitable and designed to guide air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening in the open position essentially forwards, in particular essentially in a direction perpendicular to the furniture front and / or out of the furniture front.

[0010] In this context, "forward" is understood to mean, in particular, directed toward a user standing in front of the cooking device and / or toward the user. Preferably, a front side of the base body faces a user. In a typical usage situation of the cooking device, a user is located in front of the cooking device and, in particular, faces the front side.

[0011] In this case, the upper side is, in particular, a surface and / or wall that delimits the base body upwards. Preferably, the base body is delimited and / or provided at least in sections by a housing device. In expedient developments, the upper side is provided at least in sections by an upper wall or upper wall of the housing device.

[0012] In particular, the upper side is provided by a water tank receptacle and / or a water tank. The guide device can also be connected to the water tank receptacle and / or the water tank. The guide device is provided, in particular, by a flap device and / or a similarly suitable device. In expedient further developments, the guide device is suitable and designed to direct air and / or vapor flowing out of the air outlet opening in the open position essentially forward in a targeted and / or directed manner.

[0013] The cooking chamber is particularly suitable and designed for cooking food or foodstuffs. Preferably, the cooking chamber is suitable and designed to accommodate a fermentation container and / or a drip tray and / or the like. In advantageous further developments, the base body has at least one opening for filling the cooking chamber.

[0014] Preferably, the cooking device has at least one door device for closing the opening.

[0015] Preferably, the opening and / or the door device is arranged and / or received on the upper side of the base body.

[0016] In expedient further developments, the base body comprises at least one fan device. In particular, the fan device, the cooking chamber, and the air outlet opening are operatively connected and / or fluidly connected to one another.

[0017] In expedient developments, the base body comprises an air outlet section, to which the air outlet opening is assigned in particular. The air outlet section preferably comprises at least one air mixing section and / or provides a Venturi nozzle element at least in sections. Depending on the task and design, the Venturi nozzle element can also be included in the base body as a separate assembly.

[0018] In advantageous further developments, a normal of the outlet opening or normal of a plane or surface of the outlet opening is arranged substantially perpendicular to the furniture front.

[0019] Preferably, the base body comprises a channel guidance system for guiding at least one fluid, such as air, vapors and / or a liquid.

[0020] In particularly advantageous developments, in the open position of the guide device, the angle between at least one section of the guide device and at least one section of the upper side, in particular a section of the upper side adjacent to the air outlet opening, is in the range from 5° to 90°, preferably in the range from 5° to 70°, more preferably in the range from 5° to 45°, and particularly preferably in the range from 30° to 45°. Depending on the task and design, the angle between at least one section of the guide device and at least one section of the upper side can also be in a different range in the open position.

[0021] Preferably, in the open position of the guide device, the air outlet opening is substantially open so that air and / or vapors can escape or flow out of the air outlet opening.

[0022] In expedient further developments, the air outlet opening is at least partially and, in particular, completely covered or closed when the guide device is in the closed position, so that air and / or vapors cannot escape or flow out of the air outlet opening unhindered. Depending on the task and design, the guide device can cover and / or close the air outlet opening in the closed position in such a way that air and / or vapors can essentially not escape or flow out of the air outlet opening.

[0023] The cooking device according to the invention has many advantages. A significant advantage is that the air outlet opening is arranged on the upper side of the base body, and that the guide device is suitable and designed to direct air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening in the open position essentially forward.

[0024] The fact that the air outlet opening is arranged on the top side of the base body enables a particularly visually appealing appearance of a cooking device according to the invention. The top side, and thus an air outlet opening arranged on the top side, is generally not visible to the user. Particularly in a cooking device designed to be integrated into a furniture front, arranging the air outlet opening on the top side of the base body enables a particularly visually appealing design of the furniture front. For example, an air outlet opening arranged on the top side enables a flat or flush design of a furniture front, which is generally perceived as visually appealing.

[0025] Because the guide device is suitable and designed to direct air and / or escaping vapors from the air outlet opening in the open position essentially forwards, contamination and / or damage to built-in furniture, components and / or the like arranged essentially above the cooking appliance is reduced or, depending on the design, ideally avoided. In particular in the case of a cooking appliance for integration into a furniture front or in the case of a cooking appliance integrated into a furniture front, a guide device by means of which air and / or escaping vapors from the air outlet opening can be directed essentially forwards is particularly advantageous. The guide device thus enables a satisfactory and preferably optimal transfer of air and / or escaping vapors from the air outlet opening in front of the furniture front.

[0026] Furthermore, the movable design of the guide device allows air and / or vapors escaping from the air outlet opening to be directed forward by the guide device in the open position, and the air outlet opening to be essentially covered and / or sealed in the closed position of the guide device, thus largely preventing dirt and / or dust from entering the air outlet opening. This also prevents or avoids objects falling into the air outlet opening and / or a user reaching into it, particularly unintentionally.

[0027] In the closed position, the guide device is preferably arranged substantially flush with at least a portion of the upper side. In the closed position, the guide device preferably substantially and in particular completely covers the air outlet opening. Covering is understood to mean, in particular, concealing and / or closing.

[0028] This largely prevents dirt, dust, and / or objects from entering the air outlet. The essentially flush arrangement of the guide device in the closed position also gives the cooking device, especially a cooking drawer device, a more visually appealing appearance.

[0029] Preferably, in the closed position, the guide device is arranged substantially flush and / or level with at least one section of the upper side, in particular a section of the upper side adjacent to the air outlet opening.

[0030] In expedient further developments, the guide device in the closed position is arranged substantially in a plane with at least a section of the upper wall and / or upper side, in particular a section of the upper wall and / or upper side adjacent to the air outlet opening.

[0031] In advantageous further developments, the guide device is suitable and designed to cover and / or close the air outlet opening in the closed position.

[0032] In preferred embodiments, in the closed position, the angle between at least one section of the guide device and at least one section of the upper side, in particular a section of the upper side adjacent to the air outlet opening, is in the range from -10° to +10°, preferably from -5° to +5°, in particular 0°.

[0033] Particularly preferably, the air outlet opening is arranged on and / or in a front section of the top. This allows air and / or vapors to be directed even more advantageously, in particular more reliably, to the front of the cooking device.

[0034] In this case, the upper side is provided in particular by an upper wall or upper wall of a housing device.

[0035] A front section of the upper side is understood to mean, in particular, the front half, preferably the front third, preferably the front quarter, and particularly preferably the front fifth of the upper side of the base body. Depending on the task and design, the air outlet opening can also be arranged in the frontmost section of the upper side of the base body. It is also possible for the air outlet opening to be arranged on and / or in another section of the upper side.

[0036] Preferably, the air outlet opening is arranged on a lateral, in particular front, section of the upper side.

[0037] In advantageous further developments, the guide device is pivotably mounted on the upper side.

[0038] In this context, pivoting is understood to mean, in particular, foldable and / or similar. Preferably, the guide device is mounted on at least one section of the upper side and / or the upper wall by means of a pivot axis.

[0039] In particular, the pivot axis is arranged on a rear portion of the air outlet opening or on a side facing away from the front portion of the air outlet opening.

[0040] Preferably, in the open position, a front portion of the guide device is arranged at a distance from the top side of the base body, so that the guide device preferably guides air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening substantially forward.

[0041] Particularly preferably, the guide device can be moved from the closed position to the open position by means of a pressure provided by the air and / or vapors at the air outlet opening. Depending on the design, an active opening of the guide device, for example by means of a motor, can additionally or alternatively be provided. Preferably, the guide device is suitable and designed to be moved from the closed position to the open position by means of a pressure provided by the air and / or vapors at the air outlet opening. In particular, the guide device is moved from the closed position to the open position by means of a pressure provided by the air and / or vapors at the air outlet opening. In this case, displaceable is to be understood in particular to mean pivotable and / or foldable.

[0042] In expedient further developments, the base body comprises a preloading device by means of which the guide device can be displaced between the closed position and the open position.

[0043] Preferably, the preloading means is provided by a spring means and / or a similarly suitable means.

[0044] In advantageous further developments, the guide device can be moved from the closed position to the open position by means of the preloading device, and is in particular also moved from the closed position to the open position by means of the preloading device. This enables a particularly reliable movement of the guide device.

[0045] Preferably, the guide device can be moved from the open position to the closed position by means of the preloading device.

[0046] Particularly preferably, the guide device can be moved from the open position to the closed position by means of its own weight.

[0047] In particular, the guide device can be moved from the open position to the closed position by means of its own weight when no pressure from escaping air and / or escaping vapors acts on the flap.

[0048] Preferably, the guide device is suitable and designed to be moved from the open position to the closed position by means of its own weight. In particular, the guide device is moved from the open position to the closed position by means of its own weight and / or the guide device is moved from the closed position to the open position.

[0049] Alternatively, the guide device can be suitable and designed to cooperate with a drive, in particular a motor or expansion element, which moves the guide device from the open position to the closed position by means of a motor and / or moves the guide device from the closed position to the open position. In advantageous further developments, at least one door device for closing the cooking chamber, in particular an opening for filling the cooking chamber, is provided.

[0050] Preferably, the door device is arranged on the upper side of the base body and / or the upper wall or upper wall of the housing device.

[0051] The cooking device is preferably designed as a cooking drawer device with at least one furniture front element. A cooking drawer device preferably provides a steam cooking drawer device.

[0072] Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the embodiments which are explained below with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0073] The figures show:

[0080] Figure 7 is a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a household system according to the invention in a sectional view from the side.

[0081] Figure 1 shows a purely schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a cooking device 1 according to the invention.

[0082] The cooking device 1 is designed here as a steam cooking device 100 and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, has a base body 2 with a top side 3 and a front side 12. In the usual setup and use position of the cooking device 1, shown schematically here, the front side 12 faces a user, and the top side 3 is provided here by an upper wall 15 of the housing device 13. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the base body 2 comprises a cooking chamber 4, which can be filled with food through an opening 14, and an air outlet opening 5 for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body 2.

[0083] The air outlet opening 5 is arranged here in a front section 9, i.e., a section of the upper side 3 of the base body 2 that is substantially adjacent and / or close to the front side 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the air outlet opening 5 is arranged to the side of the opening 14. Depending on the task and design, the air outlet opening 5 can also be arranged in a different section and / or at a different position on the upper side 3.

[0084] The air outlet opening 5 is assigned a guide device 6, which in the illustrated embodiment can be moved between an open position 7 and a closed position 8. The guide device 6 is moved to the open position 7 here.

[0085] In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the guide device 6 is suitable and designed to direct air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 in the open position 7 essentially forward. Thus, the guide device 6 essentially directs air and / or vapors toward a user standing in front of the cooking device 1.

[0086] Here, the guide device 6 also guides air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 partially in a direction perpendicular to the normal of the top side 3. Here, the guide device 6 guides air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 partially in a direction that is aligned parallel to the normal of the front side 12. Depending on the task and design, the guide device can also guide air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 predominantly in a direction that is aligned perpendicular to the normal of the top side 3 and parallel to the normal of the front side 12.

[0087] Figure 2 shows, purely schematically, an embodiment of a cooking device 1 according to the invention with a guide device 1 in an open position 7 in a sectional view from the side.

[0088] As in Figure 1, the cooking device 1 is designed as a steam cooking device 100 and has a base body 2 with a top side 3 and a front side 12. Here, too, the base body 2 comprises a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail here) and an air outlet opening 5 for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body 2, which is arranged here on a front section 9 of the top side 3.

[0089] In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, a movable guide device 6 is assigned to the air outlet opening 5. The guide device 6 is pivotably mounted on the upper side 3, with the guide device 6 being arranged substantially behind the air outlet opening 5 about a pivot axis. The guide device 6 is movable between an open position 7 and a closed position 8.

[0090] The guide device 6 is here displaced into an open position 7, in which a section of the guide device 6 and a section of the upper side 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 enclose an angle in the range of 20° to 35°. Depending on the task and design, a section of the guide device 6 and a section of the upper side 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 can also enclose a different angle in the open position 7, e.g. in the range of 5° to 80° or in the range of 5° to 45°. In the open position 7 shown schematically here, a front section of the guide device 6 protrudes further from the upper side 3 than a rear section of the guide device 6, so that the front section of the guide device 6 is arranged higher than the rear section of the guide device.

[0091] Thus, in the open position 7 shown schematically here, the air outlet opening 5 is exposed, so that air and / or vapors can escape from the air outlet opening 5. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide device 6 is suitable and designed to guide air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 essentially forward, ie, here into an area in front of the front side 12.

[0092] In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the base body 2 has a preloading device 10, by means of which the guide device 6 can be displaced between the open position 7 and the closed position 8. The preloading device 10 is designed here as a spring element. The preloading device 10 exerts a force on the guide device, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is directed such that, in the absence of a counterforce, e.g., a pressure provided by the air and / or vapor flowing out of the air outlet opening 5, the guide device 6 is transferred from an open position 7 to a closed position 8. Depending on the task and design, the guide device can also be transferred or shifted from an open position 7 to a closed position 8 by its own weight or the weight force it provides.Figure 3 shows, purely schematically, an embodiment of a cooking device according to the invention with a guide device 1 in a closed position 8 in a sectional view from the side.

[0093] As in Figure 2, the cooking device 1 is designed as a steam cooking device 100 and has a base body 2 with a top side 3 and a front side 12.

[0094] Here too, the base body 2 comprises a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail here) and an air outlet opening 5 for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body 2, which is arranged here on a front section 9 of the upper side 3.

[0095] In the embodiment shown here, a movable guide device 6 is assigned to the air outlet opening 5.

[0096] The guide device 6 is here moved into a closed position 8, in which a section of the guide device 6 and a section of the upper side 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 enclose an angle of 0°. Depending on the task and design, a section of the guide device 6 and a section of the upper side 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 can also enclose a different angle in the closed position 8, e.g. in the range from -5° to +5°. In the closed position 8 shown schematically here, the guide device is arranged essentially flush with an adjacent section of the upper side 3. Thus, the guide device 6 covers the air outlet opening 5, so that air and / or vapors cannot flow out or escape from the air outlet opening 5 unhindered.Depending on the task and design, in the closed position the guide device can also cover and / or close the air outlet opening in such a way that air and / or vapors can essentially not escape or flow out of the air outlet opening.

[0097] In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the guide device 6 can be displaced from the closed position 8 shown here into the open position 7 shown schematically in Figure 2 by means of a pressure provided by the air and / or the vapor at the air outlet opening 5. In this case, the pressure provided by the air and / or the vapor at the air outlet opening 5 exerts a force on the guide device 6, which force is directed in such a way that it counteracts a force of a preloading device 10 encompassed by the base body.

[0098] Depending on the task and design, the guide device 6 can also be transferred or displaced from an open position 7 into the closed position 8 shown schematically here, additionally and / or exclusively by means of its own weight or the weight force it provides. It is also possible for a preloading device 10 encompassed by the base body 2 to provide a force that transfers the guide device 6 from a closed position 8 into an open position 7.

[0099] Figure 4 shows a purely schematic embodiment of a further cooking device 1 according to the invention in a perspective view.

[0100] The cooking device 1 is designed here as a cooking drawer device 200 with a furniture front element 201 for integration into a furniture front 50. The cooking drawer device 200 provides a steam cooking device 100.

[0101] In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the cooking drawer device 200 comprises a door device 11 and a base body 2 with a top side 3 and a front side 12. Here, the furniture front element 201 is located on the front side 12, which faces a user in the usual setup and use position of the cooking device 1, illustrated schematically here.

[0102] In the embodiment shown, the base body 2 comprises a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail) with an opening 14, which is closed here by the door device 11, and an air outlet opening 5 for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body 2.

[0103] The air outlet opening 5 is arranged here in a front section 9, ie a section of the upper side 3 of the base body 2 which is substantially adjacent to and / or close to the front side 12.

[0104] The air outlet opening 5 is assigned a guide device 6 which, in the embodiment shown, can be moved between an open position 7 and a closed position 8.

[0105] The guide device 6 is here shifted to the open position 7 and is suitable and designed to direct air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 essentially forward in the open position 7. Thus, the guide device 6 essentially directs air and / or vapors toward a user.

[0106] Furthermore, the cooking device 1, embodied here as a cooking drawer device 200, comprises a displacement device 202. By means of the displacement device 200, the base body 2 can be displaced on and / or in a frame device between a retracted position, an extended position, and several intermediate positions. Figure 5 shows a purely schematic perspective view of an embodiment of another cooking device 1 according to the invention.

[0107] As in Figure 4, the cooking device 1 is designed as a cooking drawer device 200 with a furniture front element 201 for integration into a furniture front 50. The cooking drawer device 200 here provides a steam cooking device 100.

[0108] As shown in Figure 4, the cooking drawer device 200 also has a door device 11 for closing a cooking chamber 4, a displacement device 202 for displacing the cooking drawer device 200 and a base body 2 with a top side 3 and a front side 12, wherein the furniture front element 201 is arranged on the front side 12.

[0109] The base body 2 comprises a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail here) and an air outlet opening 5 for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body 2.

[0110] The air outlet opening 5 is assigned a guide device 6, which can be moved between an open position 7 and a closed position 8. The guide device 6 is moved into the closed position 8 here, so that the guide device 6 covers the air outlet opening 5. Thus, in the closed position 8, for example, the penetration of dirt and / or dust into the air outlet opening 5 can be essentially prevented by means of the guide device 6. Also, in the closed position 8, the falling in of objects and / or a user reaching into the air outlet opening 5, in particular unintentionally, can be prevented or avoided.

[0111] Figure 6 shows a purely schematic embodiment of a built-in cooking appliance system 300 according to the invention in a sectional view from the side.

[0112] The built-in cooking appliance system 300 here comprises a furniture front 50 and a cooking device 1 with a base body 2, wherein a furniture front element 201 is received on a front side 12 of the base body 2.

[0113] The cooking device 1 is designed here as a cooking drawer device 200 and provides a steam cooking device 100. The base body 2 has a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail) and an air outlet opening 5 for discharging air and / or vapors from the base body 2. The air outlet opening 5 is arranged here in a front section 9 of the upper side 3 of the base body 2 and is assigned a displaceable guide device 6, which is displaced here into an open position 7.

[0114] In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the furniture front 50 is arranged, at least in sections, essentially flush above the furniture front element 201. Here, the furniture front 50 and the furniture front element 201 are arranged horizontally spaced from one another such that outflowing air and / or outflowing vapors can be directed in front of the furniture front 50 and the furniture front element 201 by means of the guide device 6. Thus, air and / or outflowing vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 can be directed particularly reliably in front of the furniture front 50 and the furniture front element 201, so that damage and / or contamination of, for example, built-in furniture and / or its components can be reduced or even substantially prevented.

[0115] Figure 7 shows a purely schematic embodiment of a household system 400 according to the invention in a sectional view from the side.

[0116] The household system 400 is designed and constructed to be integrated into a furniture front 50. In the illustrated embodiment, the household system 400 comprises two furniture installation elements 410, 420, which are arranged one above the other as a lower furniture installation element 410 with a lower base body 412 and as an upper furniture installation element 420 with an upper base body 422.

[0117] The lower furniture installation element 410 is provided here by a household appliance, in particular by a cooking device 1 according to the invention, which in the illustrated embodiment is designed as a cooking drawer device 200 and here provides a steam cooking device 100. The lower furniture installation element 410 thus comprises a cooking chamber 4 and an air outlet opening 5, which is arranged here on the upper side 3 of the base body 2, 412. The lower furniture installation element 410 also comprises a guide device 6 assigned to the air outlet opening 5, which can be moved here into an open position 7 and a closed position 8.

[0118] In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the two furniture installation elements 410, 420 each have a furniture front element 201, which are each arranged on a front side 12 of the base bodies 412, 422. The upper furniture front element 201 can be the door of the household appliance in addition to a proper furniture front. The furniture front elements 201 are arranged horizontally spaced from one another in a vertical plane such that, in the open position 7 of the guide device 6 shown schematically here, air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening 5 can be guided in front of the furniture front 50 and / or the furniture front elements 201 by means of the guide device 6.

[0119] The guide device 6 is moved here by means of a pressure provided by the air and / or the vapors at the air outlet opening 5 from a closed position 8 into an open position 7, shown here purely schematically. The pressure provided by the air and / or the vapors at the air outlet opening 5 exerts a force on the guide device 6, which counteracts the weight of the guide device 6 and can even overcome it, so that the guide device is moved here from a closed position 8 into an open position 7, shown here purely schematically. If air and / or vapors do not exert any force on the guide device 6, the guide device 6 is transferred or moved here by means of its own weight or the weight force provided by it from the open position 7, shown here schematically, into a closed position 8.

[0120] It is also possible and advantageous here for the guide device 6 to be moved from an open position 7 into a closed position 9 by means of a pivotable door device 424, which is optionally mounted on the front side 423 of the upper base body 422. For this purpose, when the door device 424 is pivoted, the door device exerts a force on the guide device 6, so that the guide device 6 is moved from the open position into the closed position.

[0121] Furthermore, it is possible and advantageous here for the guide device 6 to be moved from an open position 7 to a closed position 9 by means of an auxiliary element 425, which is optionally mounted on the upper base body 422. For this purpose, the auxiliary element 425 exerts a force on the guide device 6 when the lower furniture installation element 410, designed here as a cooking drawer device 200, is moved, so that the guide device 6 is moved from the open position to the closed position. This can occur, for example, when the cooking drawer device 200 is moved from the extended position to the retracted position, or vice versa.

[0122] The optional auxiliary device 425 and the optional pivoting door device 424 are designed and constructed to temporarily move the guide device 6 into a closed position 8, so that a pressure provided by the air and / or vapors at the air outlet opening 5 or a pressure acting on the guide device 6 does not exceed a predetermined value.
