  • Baking oven with a lighting configuration
    Patent number: 6892723
    Abstract: A baking oven includes baking oven lighting reduced by a dimmer device of a control device not suddenly each time, but such that the lighting becomes continuously weaker over a time period visually evident to a user. The light intensity is, preferably, also continuously increased when the baking space lighting is switched on.

  • Oven with door seal between the oven muffle flange and the oven door
    Patent number: 6679246
    Abstract: A baking oven includes a seal located between the baking oven muffle flange and the baking oven door. The seal has chambers. The chambers have an elastic lip-like lateral wall, are aligned in a direction toward the adjacent door walls and muffle flange walls, and are open on a side facing away from the seal fastening. When the door is in a closed position, the free lateral walls of the seal rest against and are deflected outward on the door or on the muffle flange wall such that air is ousted from the sealing chambers, thus, causing the sealing chambers to function in a manner similar to that of a suction cup.
