A cooking appliance includes a door for closing a cooking compartment and a guide device which guides the door when moving into and out of a stowage compartment and includes a guide track in a stowage-compartment delimiting wall and a guide carriage connected to the door and including a guide runner guided in the guide track and connected to a connecting rod of the guide carriage. A door-opening device automatically moves the door between closed and open positions and includes a coupling rod which is mechanically coupled directly to the connecting rod such as to permit a relative movement between the coupling rod and the connecting rod, and which is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation oriented in a heightwise direction so that, when the coupling rod is pivoted about the axis of rotation, the connecting rod is carried along in a depthwise direction of the cooking appliance.
