Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for performing a drying function after a cooking function, in particular after a steam cooking function, wherein said method comprises the steps of: running the cooking function or steam cooking function (12) for a predetermined time or being manually finished by the user, detecting and/or calculating (16; 26) at least one parameter value (Y; H; te) after the cooking function or steam cooking function has been finished, comparing (18; 28) the detected and/or calculated parameter value (Y; H; te) with a corresponding threshold parameter value (Yth; Hth; teth), checking, if the drying function is required, and running the drying function (22) if required.

Abstract: Household appliance (1) for cooking and/or baking food stuffs or bakery ware (2) comprising a heatable cavity (3) for placing the food stuffs or bakery ware (2), an access door (4) for accessing the cavity (3), a compartment (5) located exterior of said cavity (3), said compartment being in fluid communication with said cavity (3) by at least one duct (6), a control unit (10), at least one first sensor (8) located in the compartment (5) and being connected to the control unit (10), and wherein the at least one first sensor (8) is capable of measuring a first input value in said compartment (5), and at least one second sensor (9) capable of measuring a second input value, wherein said second input value is a temperature value wherein said control unit comprises a matrix of humidity index values, said matrix being deposited in said control unit (10), and wherein said control unit (10) is capable of correlating said input value of said at least one first sensor (8) to a humidity index value from said matrix.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a cavity of an oven having a steam generation device, comprising the following steps: (i) a step of mild detergent cleaning, comprising (i.1) a step of applying mild detergent to the oven cavity at a predetermined cavity starting temperature (T0), and subsequently (i.2) a step of incubating the oven cavity for a predetermined incubation period of time (?tinc1) at a temperature Tact, (i.3) a step of applying steam generated by the steam generation device to the oven cavity for a steam period of time (?tsteam1) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T1, and subsequently incubating the oven cavity for an incubation period of time (?tinc2) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T2, and (i.4) a step of removing water and dirt from the oven cavity; and (ii) a step of steam cleaning, comprising (ii.
