Abstract: The present invention is related to an extraction device (14) for removing air from an area above a cooking hob (12). The extraction device (14) comprises a suction arm (26), a fan and an outlet opening (34). The suction arm (26) includes a suction head (28), which comprises a suction opening (32), and a suction base (30), which comprises an air duct for conducting the air. The air duct is arranged downstream of the suction opening (32). The is configured to suck in the air from the area above the cooking hob (12) through the suction opening (32) and the air duct. The outlet opening (34) is configured to exhaust air. According to the invention, the suction arm (26) is centrally arranged or arrangeable in relation to the cooking hob (12) or is arranged or arrangeable midway between the lateral edges of the cooking hob (12).

Abstract: The present invention concerns an extraction device (14) for removing air from an area above a cooking hob (12), which comprises an air inlet opening (24), a fan (36) for aspirating air from the area above the cooking hob (12) through the air inlet opening (24), a filter (60) element and an outlet opening (30) for exhausting air. According to the invention, the filter element (60) is removably arranged in a filter seat (62) downstream of the air inlet opening (24) and is accessible through the air inlet opening (24). Support means or actuation means are included supporting or facilitating insertion into and/or removal from the filter seat (62). The support means or actuation means are arranged at and/or act on the filter element (60) in a direction at least partially opposite to the direction of insertion.

Abstract: An extraction device (10) for removing heated air from an area above a cooking hob comprises an inlet opening (12) for an air intake into an interior of the extraction device (10), a conduction means for conducting the heated air through the interior of the extraction device (10), a fan (22) for sucking-in the heated air from the area above the cooking hob, the fan (22) being arranged in or being inoperative connection with the conduction means, and an outlet opening (14) for exhausting air. According to the present invention, a cooling down means (40) for cooling down the heated air and a separation means (40) for a separation of fluid particles from the heated air are arranged upstream of the fan (22), wherein the separation of the fluid particles is particularly an effect of the cooling down process. Further, a method for operating an extraction device (10) is disclosed. Air loaded with fluid particles is transported from an inlet opening (12) to an outlet opening (14) of the extraction device (10).

Abstract: A cooking hob with illumination equipment. The cooking hob includes a transparent or semi-transparent top panel arranged at a top side of the hob. The cooking hob includes at least one cooking zone and at least one control element for controlling the cooking zone. The cooking hob includes at least one transparent or semi-transparent layer. Symbols or images are printed on, applied on, impressed in and/or embossed in the layer. Each symbol or image corresponds with a cooking zone, a control element and/or an operation state of the cooking hob. The cooking hob includes light source elements arranged below the top panel and the layer. Each light source element corresponds with one or more symbols or images. One or more light source elements are activated on demand by the user and, if the corresponding cooking zone is activated, the corresponding control element responds or the corresponding operation state occurs, respectively.

Abstract: A built-in appliance designed for being embedded in a furniture cabinet (110) having a furniture cabinet door (125) swiveling about an axis, the appliance comprising an appliance cabinet (105) and an appliance door (150) swiveling about an axis parallel to the swiveling axis of the furniture cabinet door (125). A coupling member (210) is provided for mechanically coupling the appliance door (150) to the furniture cabinet door (125) such that opening of the furniture cabinet door (125) causes the appliance door (150) to be opened, and closing of the furniture cabinet door (125) causes the appliance door (150) to close, the coupling member comprising a flexible central portion (401) and a first and a second opposite lateral portions (402, 403) and being configured to be attached to the outside of the appliance door (150) along the first lateral portion (402), and to the inside of the furniture cabinet door (150) along the second lateral portion (403).
