Abstract: A downdraft ventilator includes: at least one housing device for installation into least one cabinet body below at least one countertop; at least one vapor-collecting hood device having at least one intake opening for cooking vapors, and, when installed, the at least one vapor-collecting hood device at least partially extends through at least one opening in a countertop; at least one mounting frame fittable into an opening of the countertop, the at least one mounting frame having at least one opening for the vapor-collecting hood device; and at least one supporting device having at least one supporting element, the at least one supporting device being mounted on the at least one housing device, and the at least one supporting element causing the at least one mounting frame and/or a cooktop device disposed adjacent thereto to be supported at least in some portions.

Abstract: A cooking system includes: at least one control device; at least one extractor device; at least one cookware item; and at least one stovetop. The at least one extractor device includes at least one movable vapor screen device having at least one suction opening in operative connection with at least one fan device. The at least one stovetop device includes at least one placement device for placing cookware and at least one heating device for heating cookware. The at least one movable vapor screen device is movable to at least two operating positions with at least one different extension height in each case. The cookware includes at least one transmitting/receiving device for transmitting at least one signal with at least one identification signature to at least the control device, by which the at least one cookware item is identifiable. The at least one control device has a communications device.

Abstract: An exhaust hood is provided that includes a housing, a filter, and a collecting channel. The collecting channel is disposed on the housing, below the filter, and configured to collect liquid that emerges from the filter. The collecting channel includes a bent part with side walls formed from a single piece of sheet metal.

Abstract: An exhaust hood is provided having a chimney housing and a double-layered vapor-collecting canopy secured to the chimney housing. The vapor-collecting canopy is near a suction zone of the exhaust hood and includes an inner panel and an outer panel. The inner panel has a vapor-collecting surface and the outer panel extending substantially parallel to the vapor-collecting surface. The inner panel and the outer panel are fixed relative to each other in a mounted position by at least one fastening arrangement. A portion of the inner panel and the outer panel are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the vapor-collecting surface forming an accommodation space for circuitry elements of the exhaust hood.

Abstract: An exhaust hood is provided that includes a chimney housing and a first vapor-collecting canopy pivotally secured to the chimney housing. The first vapor-collecting canopy is automatically movable between two end positions by a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is in the form of a crank mechanism and includes a first crank disk and an electric motor for rotating the first crank disk. The first crank disk is torque-transmittingly connected by a push rod to the first vapor-collecting canopy.
