An intelligent-cleaning steam oven liner includes a liner body, a door, a heating system, and a spray system. The heating system is used for cooking food in the liner body, and after the food in the liner body is cooked, the spray system cleans an inner wall surface of the liner body. The door is in seal fit with the liner body, and the heating system and the spray system are arranged in the liner body. The heating system realizes the food steaming and roasting function of a steam oven, and after the food is cooked by the heating system, the spray system operates to clean the inner wall of the liner body to keep the liner body clean.

A cooking range exhaust cleaning system includes a plurality of nozzles coupled to a conduit and arranged to spray a zone of a cooking range exhaust system with a cleaning solution, the zone corresponding to a hood zone, a flue zone, an exhaust fan zone, a waste collection system zone, or a combination thereof. As cleaning solution is carried through the conduit, as sensor senses its movement and a control box is configured to, in response to receipt of a signal to initiate a cleaning operation of the cooking range exhaust system, cause the cleaning solution to be provided to the plurality of nozzles via the conduit; collect a sensor reading from the sensor; and compare the sensor reading to a threshold. Other sensors of the system may include conduit sensors and vessel sensors.

A multi cavity oven provides improved cavity and jet plate cleaning by directing pressurized cleaning spray into the jet plates while installed within the oven through cleaning spray inlet ports in the walls of the removable jet plates. By directing cleaning spray directly into the interior of the jet plates, cooking juices that fall through the slots and openings and into the air passageway of the jet plates can be pressure cleaned and drained from the interior of the jet plates without removing the jet plates from the oven cavity.

Disclosed is a cooking device having a flexible sequence control for automatic cleaning of an oven cavity. A customizing aspect allows for the inputting of values for a combination of parameters of a cleaning system. These parameters may include degree of soiling, cleaning time, energy consumption, water consumption, cleaner consumption, rinse agent consumption, and/or overall cost of cleaning. The sets of parameters can be entered, saved and recalled, or deleted. While setting values of the parameters, any undefined parameter(s) are automatically changed accordingly to achieve an optimal result. Unreasonable or impossible combinations of parameters are blocked. The parameters may be visualized as user friendly touch-activated bars. Selection can be made from several optimizing options, such as cost optimization, time optimization, resource optimization, and ecological optimization that reduce the consumption of resources.

A grease removal system for an oven that collects excess grease during a cook cycle into a reservoir, which also serves as a container for cleaning solution during a clean cycle. A high-pressured shooter tube allows the cleaning solution to be shot from the reservoir to a ceiling of the oven cavity without the need for extra tubing.

Transportable technical container for chemical liquids provided with a container body at least provided with a base wall, with an opposite upper wall and with perimeter walls, said container body realizing a containment chamber, wherein the technical container is provided with a grip handle and with a threaded cylindrical mouth closable by a threaded closing cap, wherein the height of each perimeter wall is in any case lower than the width and length dimensions both of the base wall and of the upper wall in such a way that the technical container assumes a substantially flattened shape so as to be able to be positioned in the space present below a professional oven of the known type.

A method for cleaning a cavity of an oven having a steam generation device, comprising the following steps: (i) a step of mild detergent cleaning, comprising (i.1) a step of applying mild detergent to the oven cavity at a predetermined cavity starting temperature (T.sub.0), and subsequently (i.2) a step of incubating the oven cavity for a predetermined incubation period of time (t.sub.inc1) at a temperature T.sub.act, (i.3) a step of applying steam generated by the steam generation device to the oven cavity for a steam period of time (t.sub.steam1) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T.sub.1, and subsequently incubating the oven cavity for an incubation period of time (t.sub.inc2) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T.sub.2, and (i.4) a step of removing water and dirt from the oven cavity; and (ii) a step of steam cleaning, comprising (ii.1) a step of applying steam generated by the steam generation device to the oven cavity for a steam period of time (t.sub.steam2) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T.sub.3, and subsequently incubating the oven cavity for an incubation period of time (t.sub.inc3) until the oven cavity reaches a temperature T.sub.4, and (ii.2) a step of removing water and dirt from the oven cavity.

An oven includes a cooking chamber for housing food to be cooked, a control unit, and a reservoir for containing washing detergent at room temperature. The washing detergent has an activation temperature. The oven also includes a liquid supply arrangement selectively activated by the control unit for supplying the washing detergent into the cooking chamber, and one liquid heating element for heating the washing detergent and to be selectively activated by the control unit. During a washing cycle, the control unit performs the following ordered operations: a) activate the one liquid heating element for a first time period sufficient to increase its temperature to the activation temperature; b) deactivate the liquid heating element; c) when the temperature of the liquid heating element is about the activation temperature, activate the liquid supply arrangement so that the washing detergent is heated by the liquid heating element while supplied into the cooking chamber.

A steam treatment appliance includes a steam generation facility, a water tank for providing liquid for the steam generation facility, a first pump for pumping liquid out of the water tank and to the steam generation facility, an accommodating container, a second pump for pumping liquid out of the steam generation facility and to the accommodating container, and a third pump for pumping liquid out of the accommodating container and into the water tank.

A cleaning chemical assembly for a cooking appliance has a collection container, a pump, at least two ports for storage containers that contain different cleaning chemicals, and at least one device for identifying the cleaning chemical in the respective storage container. The device for identifying the cleaning chemical is a switching element that is designed to cooperate with a mechanical coding on the respective storage container. The switching element includes a plurality of microswitches at the ports.
