The present invention relates to an electric oven capable of reducing contaminants, the electric oven comprising: an oven body having a cavity capable of accommodating food therein; and a convection assembly which is installed to protrude from one surface of the cavity and which can suck and remove contaminants generated when cooking the food and can heat the inside of the cavity. The convection assembly comprises: a cover case, protruding from one surface of the cavity, including a front surface which is spaced apart from the one surface of the cavity and has an inlet port, and a side surface which extends from the front surface to the one surface of the cavity and has an outlet port; a convection fan which is installed inside the cover case and allows air containing the contaminants to be sucked into the cover case through the inlet port and discharged through the outlet port; and a convection heater for heating the air sucked into the cover case by the convection fan to remove the contaminants, wherein the air discharged from the cover case moves in an upward inclined direction with respect to the one surface of the cavity.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a method for cleaning a cooking chamber is provided. The method comprises applying a cleanser composition and water to the cooking chamber followed by incubating the cooking chamber. The cleanser composition comprises components that aid in loosening soil and debris during the steam cleaning and also provides a pleasant aroma. The cleanser composition aids in loosening soil and debris by effervescence.

An oven appliance has a reflector positioned within a housing above an upper heating element. An air distribution manifold defines an entrance proximate a cooking chamber of the housing. A catalytic smoke reducer is positioned above the reflector at the entrance of the air distribution manifold. An air handler is operable to draw air from above the reflector through the catalytic smoke reducer and the entrance of the air distribution manifold.

A cooking device comprising a first interior chamber, a second interior chamber being fluidly connected with the first interior chamber via a drain and comprising a first water reservoir, the drain and the first water reservoir forming a first air trap, and a device outlet downstream of the second interior chamber, whereby said air trap is adapted to be opened or closed by lowering or lifting the first water reservoir between the first interior chamber and the second interior chamber.

A proofing chamber for proofing dough. An outer frame includes profiled frame sections running at an angle to the gravitational direction and encloses the interior of the proofing chamber. A number of covering panels are arranged on the outer frame, and a conveyor device runs through the interior of the proofing chamber. The conveyor device is designed to transport dough pieces through the proofing chamber. The conveyor device defines a number of transport planes arranged substantially horizontally or vertically, in particular horizontally or vertically. At least one profiled surface of the outer frame profiled sections which run at an angle to the gravitational direction and are arranged below the transport plane or the point of the transport plane arranged at the top in the gravitational direction is inclined in the direction of the interior.

A grilling machine is described, which comprises a base body, a plate, arranged on the base body and defining a cooking surface whereon foods to be cooked are laid, and heating means operationally associated with the plate for heating the cooking surface. There is also a circuit, associated with the plate, for treating the fumes produced during the food cooking process. The fumes treatment circuit comprises: a hood arranged above the plate, which comprises at least one suction mouth, a filtering unit fluidically connected to the hood, and at least one recirculation outlet fluidically connected downstream of the filtering unit and located near the plate. In this manner, the cooking fumes sucked in through the suction mouth of the hood are treated by the filtering unit in order to obtain a purified flow with a given percentage of humidity. The purified flow is then recirculated towards the cooking surface through the recirculation outlet in order to exert a humidifying action on the foods.

A steam treatment appliance includes a steam treatment space, a fixed water connection, and a receiving container fillable with fresh water via the fixed water connection and having a discharge opening. Arranged outside the steam treatment space is a steam generator having a water inlet for fluidic connection to the discharge opening of the receiving container and a water outlet for fluidic connection to the receiving container. A cleaning product inlet is fluidically connected to the receiving container. A valve system is switchable between a first switch position in which a closed liquid circuit is formed with at least the receiving container, the steam generator, and a pump while bypassing the steam treatment space, and a second switch position in which the liquid circuit is opened to connect the water outlet of the steam generator to a temporary waste water connection.

A self-cleaning oven is provided. Responsive to initiating a self-clean operation, a heating plate in a cavity of the oven is powered to increase temperature of the heating plate. Responsive to the heating plate being heated to above a predefined start temperature for a predefined soak period of time, one or more nozzles are directed to introduce water onto the heating plate to generate superheated steam until the heating plate falls below a predefined reboot temperature. The power and watering operations are repeated according to a predefined number of clean cycles specified by the self-clean operation.
