Abstract: In a method to dehumidify a cooking chamber of a domestic cooking appliance, a condensation formation in the cooking chamber is ascertained. A dehumidification message connected to a dehumidification process is displayed when the condensation formation is detected, and a user action is awaited when the message is displayed. The dehumidification process is either performed or terminated depending on the user action. A domestic cooking appliance includes a cooking chamber and a display device and is configured to ascertain a condensation formation in the cooking chamber and to start a dehumidification process when the condensation formation is ascertained. The domestic cooking appliance is additionally configured to display a drying message connected to a dehumidification process on the display device prior to starting the dehumidification process, to await a user action when the dehumidification message is displayed, and either to perform or terminate the dehumidification process depending on the user action.

Abstract: A household cooking appliance includes a cooking space and a microwave apparatus which is configured to feed microwaves into the cooking space. The microwave apparatus includes a feed chamber arranged outside of the cooking space and configured to open into the cooking space through an emission opening which is excitable by the microwaves, and a microwave line projecting into the feed chamber and connected galvanically to an electrically conductive wall region of the feed chamber which wall region restricts the emission opening. The feed chamber defines a chamber which is non-resonant for the microwaves.

Abstract: A microwave cooking appliance includes a door which covers a loading opening of a cooking chamber when closed, and has a profiled trap structure to form with an electrically conductive door flange a lambda quarter-wave trap that frames the loading opening. The trap structure includes a metal choke profile with an open face opposite the door flange, inner and outer metal tongues protruding into the open face laterally on an inside and outside, respectively. The metal tongues are connected electrically to the choke profile and separated from one another by a microwave entry slot covered by a microwave-transparent cover. The choke profile is framed laterally on the outside by a parallel overlap region which protrudes from the door flange and has a cover surface facing the door flange at a distance and made of electrically conductive material and having a same shape as a door flange region it covers.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a circuit component, a temperature detector embodied as an IR detector and configured to sense a temperature of the circuit component, and a control facility coupled to the temperature detector and configured to actuate the circuit component and to actuate the household appliance on the basis of temperature measurement data measured by the temperature detector.

Abstract: A door for a household microwave appliance includes a perforated electrically conductive lattice configured to cover a viewing opening of the door and having a plurality of microholes arranged in a regular pattern. The microholes have a rectangular basic shape with rounded corners.

Abstract: A microwave cooking appliance includes a cooking chamber delimited by a cooking chamber wall, and a microwave apparatus configured to introduce microwaves into the cooking chamber. The microwave apparatus includes a patch antenna having a planar base body and a planar emission body, which are electrically insulated from one another. The emission body is configured to cover the base body at a distance and capable of being fed with microwave energy, with the base body corresponding to a region of the cooking chamber wall.
