Abstract: An oven (1000) having a body (1002) that includes a base, a ceiling, and side walls extending between the base and the ceiling, the side walls at least partly surrounding a cooking cavity (1030), the oven (1000) including: an impeller assembly (1060) mounted to a first side wall of the oven body, the impeller assembly (1060) including: an impeller (1062) that is rotatable to direct air flow within the cooking cavity (1030); a plurality of air guides (2006) that at least partially surround the impeller (1062), the air guides (2006) each defining a channel that extends generally transversely from a central axis of the impeller (1062); and a pair of heating elements (2010) located on either side of the impeller (1062), whereby air that is directed from the impeller (1062) travels transversely along the channels of the air guides (2006), across the heating elements (2010), and into the cooking cavity (1030).

Abstract: A display assembly (201) for a kitchen device (100), the display assembly (201) including: a liquid crystal display panel (214) having a plurality of liquid crystal elements (300) forming a dot matrix (302); a memory device (225) for storing executable instructions for operating the dot matrix (302); a processor (202) adapted to execute the executable instructions to: determine a required output of the dot matrix (302); retrieve a predetermined instruction set from the memory device (225) that corresponds to the required output; and operate the dot matrix (302) using the predetermined instruction set, wherein the predetermined instruction set includes an instruction for each element (300) in the plurality of liquid crystal elements (300).

Abstract: An oven (10) having a body (15) that includes a base (20), a ceiling (25), and a wall (30) extending between the base (20) and the ceiling (25), the wall (30) at least partly surrounding a cooking cavity (35), the base (20) including a base cavity (50) and an opening (55) that extends between the base cavity (50) and the cooking cavity (35); the oven (10) further including a removable container (65) having a floor (81) and sidewalls (82) that define a chamber (85) to hold fluids therein, the base cavity (50) adapted to receive the removable container (65), the removable container (65) being movable relative to the base cavity (50) between a storage position in which the removable container (65) is retained in the base cavity (50); and an open position in which the removable container (65) is at least partially exposed relative to the base cavity (50), the oven (10) further including an interface assembly (150) providing a connection between a fluid outlet (97) of the removable container (65) and the cooking c

Abstract: A cooking appliance (400) including: a body (402) providing a floor (404), a ceiling (406) and an intermediate wall (408) located between the floor (404) and ceiling (406), the floor (404), ceiling (406), and wall (408) at least partly surrounding a cooking cavity (410), the body (402) having an opening (412) via which product to be cooked can be moved relative to the cavity (410); a heating element (420) located in the cavity (410) to deliver radiant energy to cook the product; a cooling system (434) coupled to the body (402), the cooling system (434) including an airflow channel (436) communicating with a cold pin section (424) of the heating element (420), the airflow channel (436) configured to direct airflow to the cold pin section (424) to selectively cool the cold pin section (424); and a shield (444) positioned relative to the cold pin section (424) to shield the cavity (410) from at least a portion of the airflow.
