Abstract: A baking oven and a method of operating a baking oven, in particular a shop baking oven, having a baking chamber, in which the goods to be baked can be accommodated has at least one heating system (09) for heating air circulating in the baking chamber (03) and has at least two fans (10, 11) for circulating the air in the baling chamber (03). During a baking operation, at least one co-rotating phase (P1, P3) is provided during which the fans (10, 11) are driven to rotate in the same direction. In addition, at least one contra-rotating phase (P2, P4) during which the fans (10, 11) are driven to operate in the opposite direction is also provided during the baking operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and process for controlling automatic baking in a retail store In on embodiment, the baking apparatus includes an oven, an infeed device for feeding in dough slabs and a transport mechanism for transporting the dough slabs from the infeed device through the interior of the oven to a delivery station at which the ready-baked goods are made available to customers. Further, the apparatus includes a data processing unit that: records the quantity of baked goods made available, receives by way of a data network from the retail store's point-of-sale system the number of baked goods sold, and prompts the baking apparatus to start up the baking process on the basis of a comparison of those two values. In one aspect, the present invention provides for control of the level for the delivery station together with devices present in the retail store.

Abstract: The invention relates to a baking apparatus including an oven, a heating device, and a transport device for the transport of dough slabs through the interior of the oven. The heating device and the transport device are fed with an operating current. Further, the apparatus includes at least one monitoring device for monitoring the operating current of at least one of the two devices, and which increases the operational reliability of the baking apparatus. The monitoring device has at least one interface for outputting of a monitoring signal.
