A hob (1) with one or more cooking locations (2), which, as viewed from above, exhibits one or more recesses (4) only in the area (25) around its geometric center (3), which are respectively connected with one or more devices (5) for removing cooking vapors through suction. These devices (5) for removing cooking vapors through suction downwardly remove the cooking vapors that arise above the cooking locations (2) by suction in a direction vertically below the hob (1), and such a hob (1), which in the assembly unit is designed with a device (36) for operating the hob (2) and downwardly removing cooking vapors by suction.

A fume extraction device for installation in an item of kitchen furniture includes an air duct, a top side provided with an air inlet opening, an appliance housing arranged below the air inlet opening and having a side wall provided with an air outlet opening which is connected to the air duct, a fan arranged in the appliance housing, and a noise filter element received in the appliance housing and including a filter material which is chemically inert.

Disclosed is a range hood, including: a case provided with a smoke inlet; and a fan provided inside the case. An air inlet area is formed between an air inlet of the fan and a side wall of the case, the air inlet area is provided with a spacer, and the spacer is configured to divide the air inlet area into at least two air inlet sub-areas. The air inlet sub-areas are located at different positions of the air inlet area. The airflow entering the case from the smoke inlet flows to the air inlet of the fan, and the airflow flows to the sub-air inlet area in different directions. The space blocks airflows in different directions, to prevent turbulence at the intersection of airflows in different directions.

Provided is a cooking apparatus comprising: a heating device including a plurality of burners; an intake duct provided on a first side of the heating device and configured to move upward or downward, and including a suction port configured to suction air; at least one exhaust duct provided on a second side of the heating device opposite the intake duct and configured to move upward or downward, and including a discharge port configured to discharge air; a control panel configured to obtaining user input; and a processor configured to adjust a position for each of the intake duct and the at least one exhaust duct based on at least one of identification of a container placed on at least one burner of the heating device or selection of a burner by the user input.

A cooking appliance includes a cooktop including an energy transmission unit for transmitting energy in order to heat a place-on appliance placed on the cooktop, and a PEF (“Pulsed Electric Fields”) cooking apparatus including a receptacle accessible from a top side of the cooktop and designed for insertion of a PEF container. The receptacle includes a connection contact for electrically connecting to the PEF container inserted in the receptacle.

A microwave hood system is provided. The microwave hood system includes a microwave oven enclosure defining a cooking cavity therein. A cooking component is positioned within the cooking cavity and configured to emit microwaves. The heating system defines a heating cavity therein, wherein the heating system is coupled to the microwave oven enclosure. A heating element is positioned in the heating cavity. The heating cavity reaches a temperature in a range from about 40° C. to about 80° C. when the heating element is in use. A broiler element is positioned within the heating cavity. The heating cavity reaches a temperature in a range from about hundred and 150° C. to about 300° C. when the broiler element is in use. A dual hood system is also coupled to the microwave hood system.

Provided is a cooking apparatus including: a main body; and a ventilator comprising a ventilator body including an inlet configured to inhale air containing oil mist generated in a cooking process using a heating device, a blower configured to blow the inhaled air from the inlet; and an oil mist filter positioned inside the ventilator body, and configured to remove the oil mist by filtering the oil mist from the inhaled air.

A gas stove, including: a stove body, a range hood, a closed stove, and an exhaust system. The closed stove is disposed in the stove body. The closed stove includes a heat conduction panel, a burner, and a thermal insulation and guide device. The thermal insulation and guide device is disposed around the burner. The heat conduction panel is disposed on the top of the thermal insulation and guide device, and a combustion chamber is formed therebetween. The range hood is disposed on the stove body. The range hood includes a fume absorption inlet for receiving oil fumes formed in the process of food cooking. The stove body includes a fume release channel. The fume release channel communicates with the fume absorption inlet. The thermal insulation and guide device includes a smoke outlet for discharging hot smoke in the combustion chamber.

The invention relates to a vapour extraction device for extracting cooking vapours downward. The vapour extraction device comprises a fan apparatus for sucking in the cooking vapours having a fan impeller which can be driven in rotation, a fan motor for supplying a drive torque, and a releasable fan coupling for transmitting the drive torque to the fan impeller.

A cooking appliance apparatus includes a fan unit, a sensor unit designed to detect an electrical fan parameter of the fan unit, a filter unit allocated to the fan unit, and a control unit designed to determine a filter parameter of the filter unit in dependence upon the fan parameter.
