Abstract: A method for conducting a treatment program in a preparation chamber of a food preparation appliance comprises: (a) determining at least one first value of the preparation chamber atmosphere and/or of the atmosphere surrounding the food preparation appliance before selection and/or beginning of the treatment program, (b) storing the first value, (c) determining at least one second value of the preparation chamber atmosphere and/or of the atmosphere surrounding the food preparation appliance after loading the cooking product into the preparation chamber or after introduction of a lime removal and/or cleaning agent into the preparation chamber and/or after beginning of the treatment program, (d) determining at least one third value from the first and second value, (e) comparing the third value with the stored values, and (f) conducting the treatment program as a function of the result of the comparison of the third value with stored values.

Abstract: A heatable housing and a device such as a cooking appliance including a heatable housing for producing steam includes at least one wall that delimits an interior space, which is enclosed by the housing at least in areas and which serves to hold a liquid to be vaporized. The wall has at least one hollow for accommodating at least one heating device.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pore burner, especially for cooking appliances, including a housing provided with at least one inlet for a gas/air mixture as a fuel and/or at least one inlet for air and/or at least one inlet for gas and/or at least one outlet for air and/or gas and/or waste gases. The housing includes at least one dimensionally stable, porous molded body formed of sintered metallic powder and/or pressed metallic wire mesh, on the surface of which and/or in the pore spaces of which are reaction zones for the flame development for forming a surface burner.

Abstract: A method of adjusting at least one parameter of gas-operated cooking equipment as a function of the site and/or of the height of the site of the cooking equipment includes determining the geodetic height at the site during an initialization step by determining at least one physical parameter or a difference of two physical parameters and adjusting the heat output of at least one combustion system of the cooking equipment. The determined physical parameter may be air pressure, density, the mean ambient temperature, the humidity in the air and/or the boiling point of water and the physical parameter or the difference of the two physical parameters may be determined by starting up at least one functional group of the cooking equipment. The adjustment of the heat output of the combustion system of the cooking equipment may be performed by adjusting the air/fuel mixture in the region of an ignition device of the combustion system.

Abstract: A method for setting the performance of a gas operating cooking device by setting a complete combustion of the fuel gas/air mixture supplied to the gas burner of the cooking device.
