Abstract: A method for cleaning a steaming system of a cooking appliance having a cooking chamber, includes, in order: filling a tank of the steaming system with a cleaning acid by a filling pipe and a pump of the steaming system until the cleaning acid overflows from the tank into the cooking chamber by an overflow pipe of the steaming system, which overflow pipe comprises a shut-off valve; circulating the cleaning acid from the tank into a steam generator of the steaming system and back; filling the tank with fresh water by the filling pipe and the pump, with the shut-off valve closed and the steam generator switched off, until the cleaning acid is displaced into the cooking chamber by the fresh water in a bypass pipe fluidically connected to the steam generator and the overflow pipe; and filling the tank with air by the filling pipe and the pump.

Abstract: A cooking device includes an oven chamber operable to receive food that is to be cooked, a steam-generating element for generating steam, and a coupling element through which water used for generating steam is fed, at least in part, to the steam-generating element. The coupling element includes a connecting element configured to connect to a fixed water connection. A pipe element is disposed between the coupling element and the steam-generating element and is configured to establish a flow-connection suitable for conveying water. The pipe element includes a free-fall section and a water-conveying element is at least partially disposed in the free-fall section.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a treatment chamber having an opening. The opening of the treatment chamber is configured to be closed by a door. The opening of the treatment chamber is bounded by at least one frame member. An external container is configured to hold at least one of an operating fluid or an operating powder. A filling device is disposed on the at least one frame member and in fluid connection with the external container. The filling device is configured to introduce, in an operating mode of the household appliance, at least one of an operating fluid and an operating powder to the treatment chamber, either treated or untreated. The filling device includes a filling device opening.
