An electric fireplace (10) includes a fireplace housing (12) and an electrical insert (40). The fireplace housing (12) includes a base panel (30) having a base opening (230A), a back panel (32), and at least one side panel (34). The electrical insert (40) is sized and shaped to fit and be supported and retained within the base opening (230A). Additionally, the electrical insert (40) can include a heater (26), and a controller (28) including a processor that is configured to control operation of the electric fireplace (10). Further, each of the base panel (30), the back panel (32) and the at least one side panel (34) can be manufactured and installed independently of one another. The fireplace housing (12) can further include a front frame (236) that is manufactured and installed independently of each of the base panel (30), the back panel (32) and the at least one side panel (34). Still further, at least one of the back panel (32) and the at least one side panel (34) can be foldable.

A faux fireplace having a controller generating an imitation log crackling sound synchronized to an ember flicker of a faux log. The faux fireplace includes a video display displaying a video flame having releasing embers based on a video loop stored as a video file in memory. The controller generates the imitation log crackling sound for the displayed releasing embers as well. The type of crackling sounds and the volume of the crackling sound are different for each of the faux logs to create an authentic visual and audio experience. The ember flickers are generated by lighting associated with each of the faux logs.

A cooking appliance, in particular an induction oven appliance, includes a cavity having a wall, at least one induction heating element, and at least one electrically conductive screening element for screening an electric and/or magnetic field generated by the induction heating element. The induction heating element can be arranged on the wall of the cavity.

The present disclosure provides a novel ready to assemble simulated fireplace insert kit which can be combined with a pre-built furniture piece, or a ready to assemble furniture piece to provide a unique solution in the ready to assemble furniture product category. The ready to assemble simulated fireplace insert is broken down into individual components that can more easily be packed and shipped in a flat format and assembled by the end user. In some embodiments, certain components may be shared across different width insert assemblies to reduce costs.

An electric fireplace (1210) includes a fireplace housing (412) and a heater assembly (1226) that is configured to generate heated air. The heater assembly (1226) is configured to be installed substantially within the fireplace housing (412). In various embodiments, the heater assembly (1226) includes a heater body (1245), and a grill cover (1248) that is couplable to the heater body (1245). The grill cover (1248) includes a cover body (1295) that is couplable to the heater body (1245), and at least one extender (1296) that is configured to be positioned substantially adjacent to the cover body (1295). The cover body (1295) has a first cover length. The cover body (1295) and the at least one extender (1296) cooperate to have a second cover length that is greater than the first cover length. The second cover length is substantially equal to a dimension of the fireplace housing (412).

A cooking apparatus includes three cooking modules supported on a cart. The first cooking module is a barbecue grill or a teppanyaki device. The second cooking module is an electric oven. The third cooking module is an air fryer. The air fryer includes a casing and a drawer. The casing is inserted in the cart in a non-movable manner. The drawer is movable into and from the casing.

A process and apparatus for heating, cooling or heating and cooling multiple chambers of a food preparation device utilizing heated and/or cooled nebulized water particles and heated and/or cooled compressed air. The steps of heating include heating water contained in reservoir located outside of the cooking chambers, heating compressed air, conveying the heated water and the heated compressed air to at least one nebulizer, nebulizing the heated water into heated water particles and introducing the heated water particles into the cooking chamber via the heated compressed air. The steps of cooling include cooling water contained in an additional reservoir located outside of the cooking chambers, cooling compressed air, conveying the cooled water and the cooled compressed air to at least one nebulizer, nebulizing the cooled water into cooled water particles and introducing the cooled water particles into the cooking chamber via the cooled compressed air.
