Patent number: 10808942Abstract: In a method for carrying out a cleaning procedure for a cooking appliance, a first tank of the cooking appliance is filled by a user with water. A first portion of water in the first tank is moved into a buffer store and then moved from the buffer store into a cooking chamber to provide a first treatment agent therein. The first treatment agent remains in the cooking chamber for a first time period. A second portion of water in the first tank is moved into the buffer store and the first treatment agent is moved into the first tank. The second portion of water in the buffer store is into the cooking chamber to provide a second treatment agent in the cooking chamber. The second treatment agent remains in the cooking chamber for a second time period and the second treatment agent is then moved into the first tank.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2016Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Stéphane Clauss, Sebastien Flesch, Nicolas Chabut, Julien Adam

Patent number: 10331160Abstract: An operating element for a domestic appliance includes a main body which is made of a material comprised of plastic and a filler admixed to the plastic. The filler has a thermal conductivity which is higher than a thermal conductivity of the plastic. The filler can be present in particle form, e.g. as spheres, grains, fibers or as powder.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2012Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Stéphane Clauss, Martin Oberhomburg

Patent number: 8757203Abstract: A gas valve unit for adjusting a gas volume flow fed to a gas burner of a gas-operated device, particularly a gas cooking appliance, includes a valve body, in which at least two valve seats of open-close valves of the gas valve unit are formed. At least two throttle points each having at least one throttle opening are formed in the valve body. The valve body includes a plurality of mutually parallel plates, with one of the parallel plates forming a valve sealing plate with the at least two valve seats of the open/close valves and another of the parallel plates forming a throttle plate with the throttle openings of the at least two throttle points. The valve sealing plate is made of a flexible material, such as plastic.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Christophe Cadeau, Stéphane Clauss, Alexander Eisenberg, Jörn Naumann

Patent number: 8100121Abstract: A gas cooking hob comprising a number of gas burners, each of which is connected to a main gas pipe via a gas pipe section, and a main switch. The main gas pipe or the gas pipe section is open to supply gas to the gas burners when the main switch is actuated while a gas supply to the gas burners is interrupted when the main switch is actuated once again. In order to be able to jointly interrupt gas supply to all gas burners even without the user acting directly upon the main switch, a timing member is assigned to the main switch in order to adjust an interval after which the main switch closes automatically.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Stéphane Clauss, Andreas Gromer, Martin Oberhomburg
