Abstract: A dual-heating oven includes a cavity heated by both microwaves and at least one of convection or steam, a source for lighting the cavity and a door for closing the cavity. The door includes a first internal sealing glazing, a second intermediate internal glazing, a metal screen sandwiched between the first internal sealing glazing and the second intermediate internal glazing and a third external glazing for general protection. The lighting source is mounted on the door substantially in the plane of the second intermediate glazing.

Abstract: The microwave oven of the invention comprises a food-cooking cavity, microwave-generating means, a floor with a discharge orifice to which is removably fixed a protective strainer (11) comprising a circumferential base (15) for contact with the floor, characterised in that the base (15) of the strainer (11) comprises a plurality of spring-forming feet (19) which form anti-electric arc means (19). Thus, the spring-forming feet (19) form anti-electric arc means (19), since their elasticity produces a spring effect which makes it possible to compensate for the irregularities of the contact surface on the floor, and to ensure good contact, hence preventing the formation of electric arcs.

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.

Abstract: A combination oven includes convection, steam and microwave cooking sources. When implementing a user selected cooking program using the microwave source and at least one of the other sources, the oven control is configured to implement the cooking program in a manner using an input food product mass value to set microwave energy level applied to the food product during operation of the cooking program and without changing cook time as set by the cooking program. The microwave energy level may be set such that end product achieved without changing cook time has a comparable degree of doneness regardless of mass. The oven control, or a separate computerized device, may be used to automatically convert a non-microwave cooking program into a microwave enhanced cooking program that is stored by the oven control for selection by an operator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave oven comprising a chamber for cooking food, the electromagnetic energy of which is provided by a set of two to four magnetrons (5, 6, 7) mounted on a wall of the chamber, the magnetrons communicating with wave-guides (65) which emerge in a common microwave mixing box (8). The box (8) comprises a face common with the oven made of a material permeable to waves and a rotary phase modulator comprising a disc provided with vanes driven by electric motor and mounted on the rear face parallel with the said transparent face. The invention is characterised by the fact that the disc provided with vanes and the drive motor together form a unit, the said unit being detachably mounted on the rear face of the microwave mixing box.

Abstract: The oven is an oven with at least dual heating by microwaves, on the one hand, and by convection or by steam, on the other, comprising a cooking cavity (2) and a door (1) for closing the cavity including a first internal sealing glazing (4) and a second internal intermediate glazing (6) which sandwich a metal screen (5) tight against microwave radiation to hold it and protect it and a third external glazing (7) for general protection. Sources (26) for lighting the cavity are mounted on the door, substantially in the plane of the second intermediate glazing (6) holding the metal screen (5).

Abstract: The microwave oven of the invention comprises a food-cooking cavity, microwave-generating means, at least one microwave adapter plate (34), at least one plate support (17) mounted removably on a cavity wall, characterised in that the adapter plate (34) is fixed to the plate support (17). Thus there is a simple and inexpensive system allowing easy cleaning of the cavity walls and of the adapter plate or plates, while not impairing proper positioning and operation of the latter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave oven comprising a cooking cavity (3) for foods, closed by a pivoting door (10) coming into contact with the framing (21) of the cavity. The door includes a wave trap (160) formed of a metal frame the sides of which are hollow and of rectangular section with a side in the form of a strip (163) arranged, in the closed position of the door, parallel with the lateral wall (20) of the cavity and with a free edge parallel with the edge of the door and at a distance from a frame (147) of this. The invention is characterised by the fact that a mask (180) made of flexible material covers the said strip (163) so as to mask the said sides of the frame (160).

Abstract: This is an oven with at least dual heating by microwaves (10), on the one hand, and by indirect steam (12), on the other, comprising a cooking cavity (1) and an external steam generator, connected to the cavity (1) by a steam supply pipe emerging in the cavity (1) through an opening (3). An obstacle to microwave radiation (136) is arranged in the said opening (3).
