According to the invention, the filter element (52; 52a, 52b) is a separate unit, which is separable and removable from the filter carrier (50). The present invention further relates to a combination appliance (10) and to a method for providing a filter carrier (50) of an extraction device (14) with a filter element (52a, 52b).

A fan system is provided, which includes a volute having a front cover, a rear cover and an annular wall connected between the front cover and the rear cover; an impeller disposed inside the volute, and a motor; the front cover has an air inlet facing downward in the state when the fan system is mounted; the motor includes a motor body and an edge; the edge is connected to the rear cover at the side of the rear cover facing the air inlet. A range hood equipped with the fan system and a mounting method for a flow guide device of the range hood are provided.

A combination appliance (1) comprising a cooking hob (2), which comprises at least one support surface (4) and at least one therein formed recess (11), and at least one extraction device (3), which is arranged below the support surface (4) of the cooking hob (2) and comprises at least one fan (15) for sucking air from the space above the cooking hob (2) through the recess (11) of the support surface (4), and at least one lid (20) for the recess, wherein at least one control module (28), comprising at least one extraction control (18) that controls at least one operation parameter of the extraction device (3), at least one hob control (6) that controls at least one operation parameter of the cooking hob (2), and at least one interface unit (29) that is at least connected to the extraction control (18) and to the hob control (6), and wherein the interface unit (29) is capable of sending signals to the extraction control (18), wherein the extraction control (18) is controlling the extraction device (3) in response to the signals received from the interface unit (29).

The present invention is related to a combination appliance (10) A combination appliance (10) comprising a cooking hob (12) and an extraction device (14). The cooking hob (12) comprises a cover plate or worktop (22) having an opening (24) or a recess formed therein. The extraction device (14) is arranged below the cover plate or worktop (22) and comprises a fan (36) for sucking air from the area above the cooking hob (12) through the opening (24) or recess of the cover plate or worktop (22), a particle filter (52′) for removing particles from the air sucked in, an odour filter (56) for removing odours from the air sucked in, and an outlet opening (30) for exhausting air. The particle filter (52) is arranged or arrangeable upstream of the at least one fan (36). According to a first aspect of the invention, the odour filter (56) is arranged or arrangeable upstream of the particle filter (52′) and preferably downstream of the opening (24) or recess. According to a second aspect of the invention, an integrative particle filter element (52) is provided, which is a particle filter element (52) including odour filtering means (72). As an alternative to the integrative particle filter element (52) an integrative odour filter element or a common particle and odour filter element is proposed.
