Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing food, said apparatus comprising: —a shell (1) having internal walls (2), —a drawer (3) placed inside the shell (1), the drawer comprising a pan (4) and a food basket (5), the food basket (5) being placed inside the pan (4), —an air heating system (6) and an air fan (7) placed inside the shell (1), —a sliding mechanism (8) placed between the internal walls (2) and the drawer (3). The sliding mechanism allows to correctly position the drawer inside the apparatus, and reduces efforts of use to manipulate the drawer.

Abstract: An apparatus, pan and method for the preparation of food with hot air including a pan bottom providing a pan surface area for receiving food to be prepared, and side-walls at least partly surrounding the pan surface area, and a mounting connector for temporarily mounting the pan inside a food preparation chamber of an apparatus for preparing food. The pan bottom is provided with a plurality of through-holes as a hot air passage. The through-holes cover approximately 3 to 50% of the flat pan surface area and the heat capacity per area of a bottom surface of the pan bottom is between 10 and 75 JK?1 dm?2.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of food with hot air. In order to provide an apparatus for preparing food with an enhanced range of quality of the result in relation with the preparation of fish, or other delicate food, a pan (10) for a hot air apparatus for preparing food is provided, comprising a pan bottom (12) providing a pan surface area for receiving food to be prepared, and side-walls (16) at least partly surrounding the pan surface area, and a mounting connector (18) for temporarily mounting the pan inside a food preparation chamber of an apparatus for preparing food. The pan bottom is provided with a plurality of through-holes (20) as a hot air passage. The through-holes cover approximately 3 to 50% of the flat pan surface area, for example 16%, and the heat capacity per area of the projected bottom surface of the pan bottom is between 10 and 75 JK?1 dm?2.

Abstract: A device (1) for steaming food comprises a base part (2) and at least one basket (5) for containing the food to be steamed, having a bottom (51) provided with holes (53) for letting through steam to the food, wherein the at least one basket(5)is intended to be positioned above the base part (2), and wherein the base part (2) comprises a steam chamber (25) for containing water to be converted into steam and heating means (23) associated with the steam chamber (25) for heating water which is inside the steam chamber (25). The device (1) further comprises a circuit for controlling a power supply to the heating means (23), wherein the circuit comprises a temperature sensor (35) which is arranged at a favorable position for performing measurements, in order to realize accurate control of the steaming temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for regenerating an ion exchange cartridge. In household appliances with an electric heating element for heating water, such as irons, coffee makers, and electric water kettles, deposition of scale is prevented by using an ion exchange cartridge (16) comprising a resin (23) which binds alkaline earth metal ions such as Ca2+ and Mg2+, but also negative ions such as SO42− and CO32− ions. The device is a simple tool in which the cartridge can be inserted for regeneration. The device comprises a reservoir (2) with an outlet (10) to which an inlet (6) of the cartridge can be coupled. By filling the reservoir with a brine, for example 1 l of water with 10% by weight of NaCl, said brine will flow through the cartridge replacing the alkaline earth metal ions, carbonate ions, and sulfate ions in the resin with the alkali metal ions (Na+) and the chloride ions (Cl−) of the brine. The brine can be easily drained into a sink.
