Abstract: A food product slicer with a food carriage drive is provided. The drive includes a manual assist mode that is responsive to operator applied force.

Abstract: A method of tracking food product status using a food product scale, the scale including a weighing station including an associated mechanism for producing weight indicative signals, and an operator interface screen including a display, is provided. The method includes entering product identification information of a food product into a food product scale using an operator interface of the food product scale. The food product scale identifies the food product based on the product information. A shelf life label is printed that includes shelf life information associated with the food product. A shelf life record is created that is saved in memory. The shelf life record includes the product identification information and an expiration date of the food product.

Abstract: The appliance includes heating means comprising at least one electrical resistor (1-8) having a given rated power and connected to the output of a static contactor (101-103, 201-203) connected to control means and designed to be connected at the input to a phase conductor (91-93) of an electrical network (9) for supply of the resistor with alternating current and at a certain voltage. The control means are arranged to control the static contactor (101-103, 201-203) and break the supply current of the resistor so as to keep the apparent power of the resistor (1-8) substantially equal to its rated power. The invention applies to ovens.

Abstract: A method of receiving product pricing errors within a store including multiple food product scales is provided. The method includes (a) providing a store scale communications network. At step (b), a primary food product scale is provided in the store including memory for storing product pricing data. At step (c), a secondary food product scale is provided in the store including memory for storing product pricing data. At step (d), food product pricing data is communicated to the primary food product scale via the communications network and the food product pricing data is stored in memory of the primary food product scale. At step (e), the secondary food product scale identifies a potential internal product pricing data error condition and responsively requests accurate product pricing data from the primary food product scale. At step (f), after step (e), at least some of the product pricing data is sent from the primary food product scale to the secondary food product scale.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave oven including a food-cooking enclosure, the electromagnetic energy of which is supplied by a set of two to four magnetrons (5, 6, 7) mounted on an enclosure wall, the magnetrons communicating with waveguides (55, 65, 75) which are in communication with the oven enclosure. The magnetrons are individually air-cooled and the air is then discharged to the outside via a discharge conduit. The invention is characterised in that the discharge conduits open out into a common calming chamber before discharge to the outside.
