A food processing appliance (1) has a muffle interior (M) surrounded by a muffle (2; 32) and a light generating device (3) arranged outside the muffle (2; 32) for radiating light (L) into the muffle interior (M) through a Opening (16; 33) in the muffle (2; 32), wherein in the muffle interior (M) a light distribution element (18; 58) for distributing light (L) that can be radiated through the opening (16; 33), is arranged and between the light generating device (3) and the light distribution element (18; 58) there is a gap (S). The invention can be applied particularly advantageously to cooking appliances with an oven functionality and/or with a microwave functionality.

A cooking appliance including a cooking cavity defined by a cooking cavity wall; a cut out provided in the cooking cavity wall; a cooking appliance light arranged in the cut out and configured to illuminate the cooking cavity; and a support plate including a receiving opening for the cooking appliance light, wherein the cooking appliance light is supported in the receiving opening, wherein the support plate fixes the cooking appliance light in the cut out, wherein the support plate including the cooking appliance light closes the cut out in the cooking cavity wall, wherein the cooking appliance light includes a LED illuminant and a light conductor rod, wherein the light conductor rod is supported in the cut out in the cooking cavity wall.

A cooking appliance includes a cabinet that defines a cooking cavity and an opening to allow access to the cooking cavity. The cabinet including a top wall and a back wall. The back wall is opposite the opening and connects with the top wall at an upper portion of the back wall. The back wall has a back surface facing the cooking cavity and has a planar shape. An indentation is defined by the back wall and extends away from the cooking cavity. The indentation has an elongated shape along a width-wise direction of the cooking cavity at the upper portion. A support surface is formed by the indentation and recessed relative to the back surface. A lighting assembly is disposed in the indentation and coupled to the support surface. The lighting assembly is configured to direct light toward a central portion of the cooking cavity.

A G9 lamp socket for a cooking appliance light, the G9 lamp socket including a socket body including an upper structure and a lower structure; a base receiver configured to receive a lamp base of a G9 lamp, the base receiver including an entry opening formed in the upper structure and extending along a longitudinal axis of the socket body into the lower structure; at least two socket contacts arranged opposite to one another wherein the base receiver is arranged between the at least two socket contacts; at least two connection contacts connected with the at least two socket contacts and configured to receive voltage from connection conductors; two contact cavities arranged in the lower structure of the socket body wherein a respective connection contact of the at least two connection contacts is arranged in each of the two contact cavities and accessible through a respective insertion opening.

A cooking appliance light including a light glass arranged at a top side of the cooking appliance light; a socket arranged at a bottom side of the cooking appliance light, wherein a geometric center axis of the cooking appliance light runs vertically through the socket; a neck arranged at a bottom side of the light glass, the neck including at least one groove arrangement including an axially extending vertical groove and an adjoining circumferentially extending horizontal groove wherein the axially extending vertical groove and the circumferentially extending horizontal groove are radially open and engageable by a locking bar, wherein the axially extending vertical groove includes an axially oriented locking bar entry opening, wherein the circumferentially extending horizontal groove includes an axially upward oriented locking bar support surface including a safety protrusion and a movement stop at an end that is distal from the axially extending vertical groove.

An illumination device for a cooking apparatus, the illumination device including a light source; and a light conductor rod that transmits light emitted by the light source to a cooking cavity, wherein the light conductor rod is a rigid light conductor rod that is configured to penetrate an opening in a cooking cavity wall, wherein an angled end of the light conductor rod that is oriented away from the light source is angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the light conductor rod at an angle so that light exiting from the angled end is introducible into the cooking cavity at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the light conductor rod.

An illumination device for a cooking apparatus, the illumination device including a light source; and a light conductor rod that transmits light emitted by the light source to a cooking cavity, wherein the light conductor rod is a rigid light conductor rod that is configured to penetrate an opening in a cooking cavity wall, wherein an angled end of the light conductor rod that is oriented away from the light source is angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the light conductor rod at an angle so that light exiting from the angled end is introducible into the cooking cavity at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the light conductor rod.
