Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a cooking device, in particular with at least one furniture front element for integration into a furniture front. The cooking device is particularly designed as a steam cooking device and comprises at least one base body including at least one top, at least one cooking chamber, and at least one air outlet opening for releasing air and / or steam from the base body, wherein at least one guide element is associated with the air outlet opening and wherein the guide element 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.

[0002] A variety of different cooking appliances, such as ovens, microwave ovens and / or steam ovens, with a cooking chamber for cooking food and / or groceries, have become known, which can be integrated particularly into a furniture front, e.g., of a kitchen or a kitchenette and / or similar.

[0003] Known cooking appliances often have at least one air outlet to remove air and / or steam from the cooking chamber into the surrounding area before, during, and / or after operation. Frequently, these appliances also include at least one exhaust mechanism to control the flow of air and / or steam escaping from the air outlet, thus protecting the area around the cooking appliance from contamination and / or damage caused by escaping air and / or steam. Such known cooking appliances generally operate reliably.

[0004] Document EP 2905542 A1 discloses a cooking appliance which includes a front air outlet. Air from the surroundings is drawn through gaps in the door to cool the door.

[0005] Publication WO 2012 / 084600 A1 or publication JP 2019166115 A1 discloses a cooking appliance with an air duct for releasing air from the cooking chamber. Within the air duct is a pivoting flap serving as a guide, which allows the duct connection to the cooking chamber to be closed or fresh air to be mixed into the duct.

[0006] Document DE 102005019957 A1 discloses generally a cooking appliance with a cooking chamber in which air is conveyed from the cooking chamber to the front of the appliance by means of a blower.

[0007] Publication EP 3881748 A1 discloses in general a cooking appliance designed for installation in a piece of furniture.

[0008] A disadvantage of such well-known cooking appliances, however, is that they often do not allow for a visually appealing design. For example, in the case of a cooking appliance suitable for integration into a furniture front, the front of the appliance should be flush to create an appearance that is often perceived as particularly appealing and aesthetically pleasing by the user, both for the cooking appliance and / or the furniture front.

[0009] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a cooking device which enables an aesthetically pleasing design, particularly when integrated into a furniture front, and preferably reliably controls a flow of air and / or vapors exiting from the air outlet opening.

[0010] This problem is solved by a cooking device with the features of claim 1, a built-in cooking appliance system with the features of claim 10, and a household system with the features of claim 11. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiments.

[0011] The cooking device according to the invention, in particular with at least one furniture front element for integration into a furniture front, is specifically designed as a steam cooking device and comprises at least one base body, which includes at least one top, at least one cooking chamber, and at least one air outlet opening for releasing air and / or steam from the base body. The air outlet opening is associated with at least one guide element, wherein the guide element is movable at least between a substantially open position and a substantially closed position. The air outlet opening is arranged on the top of the base body, and the guide element is suitable and designed to direct air and / or steam flowing from the air outlet opening substantially forward in the open position.

[0012] Preferably, the guiding device is suitable and designed to direct air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening in the open position substantially forwards, in particular substantially in a direction perpendicular to the furniture front and / or out of the furniture front.

[0013] "Forward" in this context refers specifically to the direction towards a user standing in front of the cooking device and / or towards the user. Preferably, one front of the base body faces the user. In a typical usage situation of the cooking device, the user is positioned in front of the cooking device and is specifically facing the front.

[0014] The top surface is, in particular, a surface and / or wall that bounds the base body upwards. Preferably, the base body is bounded and / or provided, at least partially, by a housing assembly. In advantageous embodiments, the top surface is provided, at least partially, by an upper wall of the housing assembly.

[0015] In particular, the upper surface is provided by a water tank receptacle and / or a water tank. The guide device can also be attached 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.

[0016] In appropriate further training, the guiding device is suitable and designed to direct air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening, in the open position, essentially in a targeted and / or directed direction forward.

[0017] The cooking chamber is specifically designed and suitable for cooking food. Preferably, the cooking chamber is designed and suitable for accommodating a cooking container and / or a drip tray and / or the like. In advantageous embodiments, the base body has at least one opening for filling the cooking chamber.

[0018] Preferably, the cooking device has at least one door device for closing the opening.

[0019] Preferably, the opening and / or the door mechanism is arranged and / or mounted on the top of the base body.

[0020] In appropriate further developments, the basic body includes at least one blower unit. In particular, the blower unit, the cooking chamber, and the air outlet opening are in functional connection and / or fluid communication or flow connection with each other.

[0021] In advantageous embodiments, the basic body comprises an air outlet section, to which the air outlet opening is specifically assigned. Preferably, the air outlet section includes at least one air mixing section and / or provides a Venturi nozzle element, at least partially. Depending on the application and design, the Venturi nozzle element can also be included as a separate assembly within the basic body.

[0022] In advantageous further developments, a normal of the outlet opening or normal of a plane or surface of the outlet opening is arranged essentially perpendicular to the furniture front.

[0023] Preferably, the base body comprises a channel guidance system for guiding at least one fluid, such as air, vapors and / or a liquid.

[0024] In particularly advantageous embodiments, when the guide device is in the open position, the angle between at least one section of the guide device and at least one section of the top surface, in particular a section of the top surface adjacent to the air outlet opening, is in the range of 5° to 90°, preferably in the range of 5° to 70°, more preferably in the range of 5° to 45°, and most preferably in the range of 30° to 45°. Depending on the application and the embodiment, the angle between at least one section of the guide device and at least one section of the top surface can also lie in a different range when the guide device is in the open position.

[0025] Preferably, in the open position of the guide device, the air outlet opening is essentially unobstructed so that air and / or vapors can escape or flow out of the air outlet opening.

[0026] In appropriate further developments, when the guide device is in the closed position, the air outlet opening is at least partially and, in particular, completely covered or closed, so that air and / or vapors cannot escape or flow freely from the air outlet opening. Depending on the task and design, in the closed position the guide device can cover and / or close the air outlet opening in such a way that air and / or vapors can essentially not escape or flow from the air outlet opening.

[0027] The cooking device according to the invention has many advantages. A significant advantage is that the air outlet opening is arranged on the top of the base body and that the guide device is suitable and designed to direct air and / or steam flowing from the air outlet opening essentially forwards in the open position.

[0028] By arranging the air outlet on the top of the base body, a particularly visually appealing appearance of the cooking device according to the invention is achieved. The top surface, and thus an air outlet located there, is generally not visible to the user. Especially in the case of a cooking device designed for integration into a furniture front, arranging the air outlet on the top of the base body allows for a particularly attractive design of the furniture front. For example, an air outlet on the top surface enables a flat or flush design of the furniture front, which is generally considered visually appealing.

[0029] Because the guide device is designed and configured to direct air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening essentially forward when open, soiling and / or damage to built-in furniture, components, and / or similar items located primarily above the cooking appliance is reduced or, depending on the design, ideally avoided altogether. A guide device that directs air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening essentially forward is particularly advantageous for cooking appliances designed to be integrated into a furniture front or for cooking appliances integrated into a furniture front. This guide device enables a satisfactory and preferably optimal transfer of air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening in front of the furniture front.

[0030] Furthermore, the adjustable design of the guide device allows air and / or vapors exiting the air outlet to be directed forward in the open position, and in the closed position, the air outlet is essentially covered and / or sealed, thus largely preventing the ingress of dirt and / or dust into the air outlet. This also prevents objects from falling in and / or, in particular, a user from unintentionally reaching into the air outlet.

[0031] Preferably, the guide element is arranged substantially flush with at least one section of the top surface when closed. Preferably, the guide element, when closed, substantially and in particular completely covers the air outlet opening. "Covering" here refers specifically to concealing and / or closing.

[0032] This largely prevents dirt, dust, and / or objects from entering the air outlet opening. Furthermore, the essentially flush mounting of the guide element in the closed position gives the cooking appliance, especially a cooking drawer system, a visually appealing appearance.

[0033] Preferably, in the closed position, the guide device is arranged essentially flush with and / or level with at least one section of the top surface, in particular a section of the top surface adjacent to the air outlet opening.

[0034] In suitable further developments, the guide device in the closed position is essentially arranged in one plane with at least one section of the upper wall and / or top, in particular a section of the upper wall and / or top adjacent to the air outlet opening.

[0035] In advantageous further training, the guide device is suitable and designed to cover and / or close the air outlet opening in the closed position.

[0036] 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 top, in particular a section of the top adjacent to the air outlet opening, is in the range of -10° to +10°, preferably from -5° to +5°, in particular 0°.

[0037] Particularly preferably, the air outlet opening is arranged on and / or in a front section of the top surface. This allows air and / or steam to be directed even more advantageously, and especially more reliably, forward in front of the cooking device.

[0038] The top surface is provided in particular by an upper wall or top wall of a housing device.

[0039] A front section of the top surface is understood to mean, in particular, the front half, preferably the front third, more preferably the front quarter, and most preferably the front fifth of the top surface of the base body. Depending on the application and design, the air outlet opening can also be located on the foremost section of the top surface of the base body. It is also possible for the air outlet opening to be located on and / or in another section of the top surface.

[0040] Preferably, the air outlet opening is arranged on a lateral, especially front, section of the top.

[0041] In advantageous further developments, the guide device is pivotably mounted on the top.

[0042] In this context, "pivotable" refers in particular to foldable and / or similar features. Preferably, the guide device is mounted on at least one section of the top surface and / or the upper wall by means of a pivot axis.

[0043] In particular, the pivot axis is located on a rear section of the air outlet opening or on a side facing away from the front section of the air outlet opening.

[0044] Preferably, in the open position, a front section of the guide device is arranged away from the top of the base body, so that the guide device preferably directs air and / or vapors flowing out of the air outlet opening essentially forwards.

[0045] Particularly preferably, the guide device can be moved from the closed position to the open position by means of 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 be provided additionally or alternatively.

[0046] Preferably, the guide device is designed and configured to be moved from the closed position to the open position by means of pressure provided by the air and / or vapor at the air outlet opening. In particular, the guide device is moved from the closed position to the open position by means of pressure provided by the air and / or vapor at the air outlet opening. "Movable" here refers specifically to being pivotable and / or foldable.

[0047] In appropriate further developments, the basic body includes a preloading device by means of which the guide device can be moved between the closed position and the open position.

[0048] Preferably, the preloading device is provided by a spring device and / or a similarly suitable device.

[0049] 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 in particular, is 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.

[0050] Preferably, the guide device can be moved from the open position to the closed position by means of the preloading device.

[0051] Particularly preferably, the guide device can be moved from the open position to the closed position by means of its own weight.

[0052] In particular, the guide device can be moved from the open position to the closed position by means of its own weight if no pressure from outflowing air and / or outflowing vapors acts on the flap.

[0053] Preferably, the guide device is designed and configured 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.

[0054] Alternatively, the guide device can be suitable and designed to interact with a drive, in particular a motor or expansion element, which moves the guide device from the open position to the closed position and / or moves the guide device from the closed position to the open position.

[0080] Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiments, which are explained below with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0081] The figures show: Figure 1 is a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a cooking device according to the invention in a perspective view; Figure 2 is a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a cooking device according to the invention in a sectional side view; Figure 3 is a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a cooking device according to the invention in a sectional side view; Figure 4 is a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a cooking device according to the invention in a perspective view; Figure 5 is a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a cooking device according to the invention in a perspective view; and Figure 6 is a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a built-in cooking appliance system according to the invention in a sectional side view.and Figure 7, a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a household system according to the invention in a sectional side view.

[0082] In Figure 1 The figure shown is a purely schematic embodiment of a cooking device 1 according to the invention in a perspective view.

[0083] The cooking device 1 is designed here as a steam cooking device 100 and, in the illustrated embodiment, has a base body 2 with a top surface 3 and a front surface 12. In the typical installation and operating position of the cooking device 1 shown schematically here, the front surface 12 faces the user, and the top surface 3 is provided by an upper wall 15 of the housing 13.

[0084] In the 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 releasing air and / or steam from the base body 2.

[0085] The air outlet opening 5 is located here in a front section 9, i.e., a section of the upper surface 3 of the base body 2 that is substantially adjacent to and / or near the front surface 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the air outlet opening 5 is located to the side of the opening 14. Depending on the application and design, the air outlet opening 5 can also be located in a different section and / or at a different position on the upper surface 3.

[0086] The air outlet opening 5 is associated with 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 here moved to the open position 7.

[0087] In the embodiment shown here, the guide device 6 is suitable and designed to direct air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening 5 essentially forwards when in the open position 7. Thus, the guide device 6 directs air and / or vapors essentially towards a user standing in front of the cooking device 1.

[0088] The guiding device 6 also directs air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening 5 partially in a direction perpendicular to the normal of the upper surface 3. The guiding device 6 also directs air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening 5 partially in a direction parallel to the normal of the front surface 12. Depending on the function and design, the guiding device can also direct the air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening 5 predominantly in a direction perpendicular to the normal of the upper surface 3 and parallel to the normal of the front surface 12.

[0089] In Figure 2 A purely schematic embodiment of a cooking device 1 according to the invention with a guide device 1 in an open position 7 is shown in a sectional view from the side.

[0090] As in Figure 1Here, the cooking device 1 is designed as a steam cooking device 100 and has a base body 2 with a top 3 and a front 12.

[0091] Here too, the base body 2 includes a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail here) and an air outlet opening 5 for releasing air and / or steam from the base body 2, which is located on a front section 9 of the top 3.

[0092] In the embodiment shown here, a movable guide element 6 is associated with the air outlet opening 5. The guide element 6 is pivotably mounted on the upper surface 3, and is arranged about a pivot axis essentially behind the air outlet opening 5. The guide element 6 is movable between an open position 7 and a closed position 8.

[0093] The guide device 6 is here in an open position 7, in which a section of the guide device 6 and a section of the upper surface 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 form an angle in the range of 20° to 35°. Depending on the application and design, a section of the guide device 6 and a section of the upper surface 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 can also form 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 projects further out of the upper surface 3 than a rear section of the guide device 6, so that the front section of the guide device 6 is positioned higher than the rear section of the guide device.

[0094] Thus, in the open position 7 shown schematically here, the air outlet opening 5 is released, allowing air and / or vapors to escape from the air outlet opening 5. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide device 6 is designed and configured to direct the air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening 5 essentially forward, i.e., here into an area in front of the front face 12.

[0095] In the embodiment shown here, the base body 2 has a preloading device 10 by means of which the guide element 6 can be moved between the open position 7 and the closed position 8. The preloading device 10 is designed as a spring element. The preloading device 10 exerts a force on the guide element, which in the illustrated embodiment is directed such that, in the absence of a counterforce, e.g., pressure provided by the air and / or vapor flowing from the air outlet opening 5, the guide element 6 is moved from an open position 7 to a closed position 8. Depending on the application and design, the guide element can also be moved from an open position 7 to a closed position 8 by its own weight or the force it exerts.

[0096] In Figure 3The figure shown is a purely schematic 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.

[0097] As in Figure 2 Here, the cooking device 1 is designed as a steam cooking device 100 and has a base body 2 with a top 3 and a front 12.

[0098] Here too, the base body 2 includes a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail here) and an air outlet opening 5 for releasing air and / or steam from the base body 2, which is located on a front section 9 of the top 3.

[0099] In the embodiment shown here, a movable guide device 6 is assigned to the air outlet opening 5.

[0100] The guide element 6 is here in a closed position 8, in which a section of the guide element 6 and a section of the upper surface 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 form an angle of 0°. Depending on the application and design, a section of the guide element 6 and a section of the upper surface 3 adjacent to the air outlet opening 5 can also form a different angle in the closed position 8, e.g., in the range of -5° to +5°. In the closed position 8 shown schematically here, the guide element is essentially flush with an adjacent section of the upper surface 3. Thus, the guide element 6 covers the air outlet opening 5, so that air and / or vapors cannot flow freely out of the air outlet opening 5.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 cannot essentially escape or flow out of the air outlet opening.

[0101] In the embodiment shown here, the guide device 6 can be moved from the closed position 8 shown here into the position shown by means of pressure provided by the air and / or the vapor at the air outlet opening 5. Figure 2 The schematically depicted open position 7 is moved. In this case, the pressure provided by the air and / or vapor at the air outlet opening 5 exerts a force on the guide device 6, which is directed in such a way that it counteracts a force of a preloading device 10 encompassed by the base body.

[0102] Depending on the task and design, the guide device 6 can also be moved or shifted from an open position 7 to 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 that a preloading device 10 encompassed by the base body 2 provides a force that moves the guide device 6 from a closed position 8 to an open position 7.

[0103] In Figure 4 The figure shown is a purely schematic embodiment of another cooking device 1 according to the invention, shown in a perspective view.

[0104] The cooking unit 1 is designed here as a cooking drawer unit 200 with a furniture front element 201 for integration into a furniture front 50. The cooking drawer unit 200 provides a steam cooking unit 100.

[0105] In the embodiment shown here, the cooking drawer unit 200 has a door unit 11 and a base body 2 with a top 3 and a front 12. The furniture front element 201 is located on the front 12, which, in the typical installation and operating position of the cooking unit 1 shown schematically here, faces the user.

[0106] In the illustrated embodiment, 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 releasing air and / or steam from the base body 2.

[0107] The air outlet opening 5 is located here in a front section 9, i.e., a section of the top surface 3 of the base body 2 that is substantially adjacent to and / or near the front surface 12.

[0108] The air outlet opening 5 is here associated with a guide device 6, which in the illustrated embodiment can be moved between an open position 7 and a closed position 8.

[0109] The guide device 6 is here moved to the open position 7 and is designed and configured to direct air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening 5 essentially forwards in the open position 7. Thus, the guide device 6 directs air and / or vapors essentially towards a user.

[0113] The cooking drawer unit also features 200, as in Figure 4 a door device 11 for closing a cooking chamber 4, a relocation device 202 for relocating the cooking drawer device 200 and a base body 2 with a top 3 and with a front 12, wherein the furniture front element 201 is arranged on the front 12.

[0114] The base body 2 comprises a cooking chamber 4 (not shown in detail here) and an air outlet opening 5 for releasing air and / or steam from the base body 2.

[0115] The air outlet opening 5 is associated with a guide device 6, which can be moved between an open position 7 and a closed position 8. The guide device 6 is currently in the closed position 8, so that it covers the air outlet opening 5. Thus, in the closed position 8, the guide device 6 essentially prevents, for example, the ingress of dirt and / or dust into the air outlet opening 5. It also prevents objects from falling into the air outlet opening 5 and / or, in particular, prevents a user from unintentionally reaching into the air outlet opening 5.

[0116] In Figure 6 Figure 300 is a purely schematic embodiment of a built-in oven system according to the invention, shown in a sectional view from the side.

[0117] The built-in oven system 300 comprises a furniture front 50 and an oven unit 1 with a base body 2, wherein a furniture front element 201 is mounted on a front 12 of the base body 2.

[0118] 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 releasing air and / or steam from the base body 2. The air outlet opening 5 is located in a front section 9 of the top surface 3 of the base body 2 and is associated with a movable guide device 6, which is shown here in an open position 7.

[0119] In the embodiment shown here, the furniture front 50 is arranged, at least in sections, substantially flush with the surface of the furniture front element 201. The furniture front 50 and the furniture front element 201 are arranged horizontally offset from each other in such a way that outgoing air and / or 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 vapors exiting the air outlet opening 5 can be reliably directed in front of the furniture front 50 and the furniture front element 201, thereby reducing or even substantially preventing damage and / or contamination of, for example, built-in furniture and / or its components.

[0120] In Figure 7 Figure 400 is a purely schematic embodiment of a household system according to the invention, shown in a sectional view from the side.

[0121] The household system 400 is suitable and designed for integration into a furniture front 50. In the illustrated embodiment, the household system 400 comprises two furniture installation elements 410 and 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.

[0122] 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 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 associated with the air outlet opening 5, which can be moved here into an open position 7 and a closed position 8.

[0123] In the embodiment shown here, the two furniture installation elements 410, 420 each have a furniture front element 201, which is arranged on a front face 12 of the base bodies 412, 422. The upper furniture front element 201 can be either a proper furniture front or the door of the household appliance. The furniture front elements 201 are arranged horizontally offset from each other in a vertical plane such that, in the open position 7 of the guide device 6 shown schematically here, air and / or vapors flowing from the air outlet opening 5 can be directed by the guide device 6 in front of the furniture front 50 and / or the furniture front elements 201.

[0124] The guide device 6 is moved from a closed position 8 to an open position 7 (shown here schematically) by means of pressure provided by the air and / or vapor at the air outlet opening 5. The pressure provided by the air and / or vapor at the air outlet opening 5 exerts a force on the guide device 6, which counteracts and can even overcome the weight of the guide device 6, thus moving the guide device from a closed position 8 to an open position 7 (shown here schematically). If no force is exerted on the guide device 6, it is moved from the open position 7 to a closed position 8 (shown here schematically) by its own weight or the force it provides.

[0125] It is also possible and advantageous here that the guide device 6 is moved from an open position 7 to a closed position 9 by means of a pivotable door device 424, which is optionally mounted on the front 423 of the upper base body 422. When the door device 424 pivots, it exerts a force on the guide device 6, thus moving the guide device 6 from the open position to the closed position.

[0126] Furthermore, it is possible and advantageous here that the guide device 6 is 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.

[0127] The optional auxiliary device 425 and the optional pivoting door device 424 are suitable and designed 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.
