The present invention relates to an induction cooking hob (10) with an integrated down-draft hood. The down-draft hood includes at least one downstream channel (40) extending from an air inlet (18) to an air outlet (36). The air inlet (18) is arranged within and/or beside a cooking panel (12) of the induction cooking hob (10). The air outlet (36) is arranged in a bottom wall and/or side wall of a chassis of the induction cooking hob (10). At least one heat sink (28) is arranged in and/or at the down-stream channel (40). The heat sink (28) is thermally connected to at least one power circuit for at least one induction generator. The heat sink (28) provides a heat exchange between the power circuit and an air stream through the downstream channel (40), so that the power circuit is cooled down.

An apparatus for heating and/or cooking food is described. The apparatus includes an appliance housing with at least one accommodating device. The accommodating device has one or more accommodating compartments accessible by way of at least one opening in the appliance housing, and an accommodating container for the food which communicates with the respective accommodating compartment and can be inserted into and removed from the accommodating compartment. The apparatus also includes a heating device associated with the accommodating device and having one or more heating elements. The accommodating container has a closure portion for sealingly closing the respective accommodating compartment and an outwardly substantially closed cooking chamber for the food to be heated.

The present disclosure describes a distributed kitchen ventilation system comprising a master module and a plurality of assistant modules to be installed in respective openings in a wall, each module including a removable panel and a fan. Each of the removable panels are disposed within an inner perimeter of the respective openings such that at least one airflow gap is formed between an outer perimeter of the panel and the inner perimeter of the opening and the fan is in fluid communication with the opening in the wall. The removable panels comprise a planar expanse and a raised lip around the outer perimeter, such that each panel is configured to have one or more wall covering materials secured thereon. The master module may include a user interface for operating some or all of the modules.

The present disclosure relates to a cooking appliance disposed above a household appliance to simultaneously perform a hood function and an oven function. The cooking appliance includes a housing, a base plate configured to be coupled to the housing, a cooking chamber disposed inside the housing, a door coupled to the housing to open and close the cooking chamber, and a deflector spaced apart from a lower end of the door and coupled to a front edge of the base plate to cover the lower end of the door from hot air generated and transferred from a household appliance installed below the base plate.

A combination lifting mechanism for an appliance, and a cooking range ventilating hood. The lifting mechanism lifts the appliance within the open bottom portion of the hood and lowers the appliance for user access into the appliance. The lifting mechanism includes a support plate for the appliance and a lifting belt attached to the support plate. A motor wraps or unwraps a lifting belt onto a spool to either raise or lower the support plate. An isolation chamber is located in the open lower portion of the hood and is sized and configured to receive the appliance therein to protect the appliance from cooking gas and grease when the range below is used during cooking.

A smoke removal device includes a connecting tube, a burner, and a plurality of heat storage meshes. The connecting tube has an inlet end and an outlet end. The burner is disposed in the connecting tube and has a flame outlet. The heat storage meshes are sequentially disposed between the flame outlet and the outlet end. The heat storage meshes includes a first heat storage mesh and a second heat storage mesh. The first heat storage mesh is located between the second heat storage mesh and the flame outlet. A mesh-number of per unit area of the first heat storage mesh is larger than that of the second heat storage mesh. The first heat storage mesh and the second heat storage mesh could slow down a flow rate of flame to increase temperatures of the heat storage meshes. The smoke is burned off once touching the heat storage meshes.

Filter assemblies are described. In particular, a filter securement assembly for receiving and retaining a filter media in an exhaust hood is disclosed, the filter securement assembly being releasably securable to the exhaust hood, includes a filter frame, a cover and a face forming a portion of the cover, the face defining a plurality of apertures therethrough, the apertures forming at least 50% of a face surface area.

An inflow nozzle for an intake opening of a device for downward extraction of cooking vapours has a supporting structure and a plurality of pin-like elements arranged on the supporting structure.
