  • Patent number: 11499721
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing having a cooking chamber, and a door configured to close the cooking chamber. The door is arranged on the housing in a pivotable manner and capable of being lowered into a storage space in the housing. A drive unit automatically implements a movement of the door along a movement path. The drive unit includes a motor and a cable pull device, which is coupled to the motor and the door such that the movement of the door is implemented as a function of a motorized actuation of the cable pull device.

  • Patent number: 10948195
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing having a stowage compartment, a door for closing a cooking chamber, and a door opening mechanism constructed to automatically move the door at least in a section of an entire movement path between a closed position and an open position of the door, in which open position the door is retractable into the stowage compartment of the housing. The door opening mechanism includes an actuation unit which is configured to automatically tilt the door from the closed position into an intermediate position located such that any further movement of the door from the intermediate position into the open position is implemented automatically under the force of gravity of the door.

  • Patent number: 8286626
    Abstract: A kitchen extractor device includes a first body section, designed to be mounted in a fixed manner and a second body section, which can be displaced in a displacement direction in relation to the first body section. The kitchen extractor device comprehensively covers the cooking facilities but nevertheless can be easily cleaned. To achieve this, at least part of the second body section forms an external face of the body that is in transversal alignment with the displacement direction.

  • Publication number: 20070169495
    Abstract: A condensate pan insert for an evaporator assembly is configured to snap onto a condensate pan to prevent condensation blow-off in a down flow application. The condensate pan insert comprises a cover member, a snap member, a first wing member, and a second wing member. The snap member is coupled to the cover member and configured to engage with the condensate pan. The first wing member is insertable between a first surface of the condensate pan and a bottom of a first evaporator coil slab. The second wing member is insertable between a second surface of the condensate pan and a bottom of a second evaporator coil slab.
