  • Patent number: 10690353
    Abstract: A ventilation system and a method for discharging hazardous air during cooking are disclosed. The ventilation system allows hazardous air generated by cooking to flow in a backward direction of a cooking device so as to quickly transfer the hazardous air to a hood, such that the hazardous air is prevented from being inhaled by a user. As a result, the hazardous air may be concentrated into a predetermined region without being dissipated, and then subsequently discharged outside. Information about a quality of air generated in a current state of a cooking space is transferred to a user so that the user may more actively use the ventilation system, thereby better protecting the user's health.

  • Patent number: 9022017
    Abstract: An oven having enhanced cooling efficiency. The oven includes a cooking chamber, a door to open or close a front side of the cooking chamber, a cooling fan located above the cooking chamber to suction and blow outside air, a discharge duct to discharge the air, blown by the cooling fan, forward of the door, a plurality of flow-paths defined in the door to allow outside air to be introduced into and moved in the flow-path in association with discharge of the air through the discharge duct, and a suction pipe to connect at least one of the flow-paths and the cooling fan to each other. Suction force of the cooling fan is applied to the flow-paths of the door through the suction pipe as well as the interior of an electric machine room, allowing the air in the flow-path to be discharged to the outside through the suction pipe and the discharge duct. This assures more active air movement in the door and maximizes the cooling effect of the door.
