Abstract: A French door oven includes a body defining a cooking chamber with an open mouth. First and second doors are respectively connected to the body adjacent opposite first and second opposite lateral sides of the mouth and are adapted to pivot about respective first and second vertical pivot axes between an opened position in which the first and second doors are pivoted away from the mouth and a closed position in which the first and second doors cover the mouth and define a seam between their adjacent respective inner edges. The oven includes a door movement control system for controlling movement of the doors between their opened and closed positions. The door movement control system includes a door movement control plate including a door movement slot including an inner portion and an outer portion, the outer portion closer to the mouth than the inner portion.

Abstract: A switching device for controlling at least two motors has a single converter, wherein the at least two motors are connected to the converter by a power line and a feedback line, respectively. At least one logic module is connected to the converter and evaluates signals received from the converter to generate a control signal for controlling the motors. The converter has an interface for selecting one of the motors to be controlled, wherein the interface is connected by a signal line to the at least one logic module. The power lines and the feedback lines each have a switch. The at least one logic module is adapted to switch with the control signal at least two of the switches for switching the respective power line and the respective feedback line of the motor to be controlled.
