One or more cooking elements of a cooking appliance may be controlled during the preheat phase of an oven self-clean cycle to maintain a temperature within an oven cavity proximate an intermediate temperature setpoint that is below a self-clean temperature setpoint for the oven self-clean cycle until reaching a predetermined time in the oven self-clean cycle.

A combination oven using non-caustic detergent during a cleaning wash cycle, along with the addition of a catalyst regeneration cycle after a predefined number of cleaning wash cycles, can regenerate the catalyst to restore nearly full function of the catalyst and removes most occlusion of the pores of the catalyst that occurs during oven cooking and cleaning wash cycles. The catalyst regeneration cycle includes a rinse agent cycle followed by a high temperature dry out and burnout step.

A cooking appliance muffle for a cooking appliance includes: a cooking chamber with a cooking chamber opening tightly closeable by a door of the cooking appliance, at least one cooking chamber wall bounding the cooking chamber. The cooking appliance muffle is explosion-proof. The cooking appliance muffle has, on a side of one of the at least one cooking chamber wall facing the cooking chamber, an anti-explosion device that prevents a formation of an explosive gas mixture in any operating state of the cooking appliance muffle.

A pyrolytic oven comprises a housing and a muffle delimiting a cooking chamber inside the housing. A lighting module serves to illuminate the cooking chamber, wherein the lighting module has a cooling structure with an arrangement of cooling extensions formed in particular as pins or ribs, which project into a gap between housing and muffle and have a convection effect in a cooking mode of the oven. A fan device of the oven is configured and controlled to generate an air flow encountering the cooling structure in the gap in a pyrolytic mode of the oven. The cooling structure of the lighting module further has a wall formation, which in pyrolytic mode generates a wind shadow relative to the air flow for a number of cooling extensions of the cooling structure arranged distributed in a transverse plane to the flow direction of the air flow.

One or more cooking elements of a cooking appliance may be controlled during a glass member-clean cycle to maintain a temperature within an oven cavity. One or more covers and/or one or more cooktops may include one or more glass members. The one or more glass members may be positionable between different configurations. The cooking appliance may include one or more stands.

The present invention relates to a locking device (10) for a door of a domestic appliance. The locking device (10) comprises a main body (12) and a locking hook element (14) supported pivoting in and/or at the main body (12). The locking hook element (14) is pivoting between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The locking hook element (14) is engageable with and disengageable from a corresponding counterpart (40). The locking device (10) comprises an electric actuator (22) arranged in and/or at the main body (12) and mechanically connected or connectable to the locking hook element (14). The electric actuator (22) effects the pivoting of the locking hook element (14) from the engaged position to the disengaged position. The locking device (10) comprises a first spring element (26) interconnected between the locking hook element (14) and the main body (10), wherein said first spring element (26) effects a movement of the locking hook element (14) from the disengaged position to the engaged position.
