The oven can include a filter assembly disposed in fluid communication between the water reservoir and the water fill assembly. The desiccant can be disposed within the filter assembly.

Disclosed herein is a cooking system for cooking food, the system including a housing having a hollow interior, a lid movable relative to the housing, at least one heating element associated with one of the housing and the lid, wherein the cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a conductive cooking mode and a convective cooking mode, wherein in the conductive cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a conductive cooker and in the convective cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

An apparatus for cooking food includes an oven, including a cooking chamber in which the food can be cooked by dry hot air, steam or hot air and steam together, a support frame to which the oven is fixed, a collecting tank designed to collect the liquid produced in the cooking chamber during the cooking of food or delivered to the cooking chamber during a washing procedure of the oven, the collecting tank being associated with the support frame and being provided with an inlet opening that can be connected to a drain of the cooking chamber, the collecting tank being provided with level sensor means configured for detecting a plurality of levels reached by the liquid in the collecting tank. A method for managing an apparatus for cooking food, including an oven for cooking the foods, fixed to a support frame with which a collecting tank is associated that is designed to collect the liquid produced in the oven during the cooking of food or delivered to the oven during a washing procedure of the oven, includes detecting a plurality of different levels reached by the liquid in the collecting tank and communicating the reaching of the levels to a command-and-control device of the oven, one of the levels being a preset permissible maximum level that the liquid can reach in the collecting tank.

Disclosed is a cooking apparatus with a cooktop. The cooking apparatus includes: a cooker body including a cooking compartment and a storage compartment below the cooking compartment; a drawer including a storage space, and sliding the drawer into and out of the storage compartment closes and opens the storage space; a steam supplier configured to generate steam and supply the generated steam to the cooking compartment; and a water tank configured to store water for generating the steam, and provided in a certain region of the storage compartment independently of the drawer to be pushed in or pulled out.

The invention relates to an internal control method for a food processor appliance (A), comprising the following steps of: (E1) reception of a control data item (Cde) including a control command (IC); (E2) generation of a state data item (IE) by the control unit; (E3) transmission of the state data item (IE); (E4) reception of a confirmatory control command (ICC); (E5) triggering of the execution of a given task by at least one given functional element, corresponding to the control command (IC).

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a steam generating system (10) for a domestic steam cooking oven (40). A steam generator (26) and an inlet valve (16) are controlled by a regulating thermal switch (30) and a limiting thermal switch (32). The regulating thermal switch (30) and the limiting thermal switch (32) respond to a temperature within and/or at the steam generator (26). A threshold value of the limiting thermal switch (32) is higher than a threshold value (Ts) of the regulating thermal switch (30). The steam generator (26) is deactivated and the inlet valve (16) is activated by the regulating thermal switch (30), if the temperature (T) of the steam generator (26) exceeds the threshold value (Ts) of the regulating thermal switch (30).

The present disclosure provides an operation control panel push-pull mechanism and a steam-roasting electric appliance. The operation control panel push-pull mechanism is capable of driving an operation control panel of an electric appliance to move between a first position and a second position, and includes a driving part, a fitting part and a first pushing part; the fitting part is fixed relative to a body of the steam-roasting electric appliance, the first pushing part is rotatably connected with the driving part and fixedly connected with the operation control panel, a rail structure is provided on the first pushing part, the fitting part cooperates with the rail structure, and the driving part is capable of driving the first pushing part to drive the operation control panel to move between the first position and the second position.

A cleaning chemical assembly has a collection container, a pump, two ports for storage containers that contain the same cleaning chemical, and a switchover valve that can be switched between a first state, in which the pump can pump liquid from the collection container to the storage container connected to the first one of the two ports while the second port is disconnected in a liquid-tight manner, and a second state, in which the pump can pump liquid from the collection container to the storage container connected to the second one of the two ports while the first port is disconnected in a liquid-tight manner. A sensor is provided that can be used to detect whether one of the storage containers is empty.

An onboard multi-functional thermal-insulation and explosion-proof pressure steamer, relating to the technical field of heating cooking appliances, and in particular, to the field of cooking appliances mounted on a travelling apparatus, comprising a steamer body and a steamer outer cover covering the top of the steamer body, a steam pot being provided in the steamer body. The steam pot is provided in the steamer body to seal a steam container in the steam pot, and the steam pot is heated by means of the onboard heat energy, heat exchange is performed by means of a heat exchange device to generate high-temperature steam to heat the food material in the steam pot of the steam or to heat the water in a water tank.
