The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method of controlling an oven comprising a heating chamber that spans a 3D-volume for accommodating therein one or more food items to be, respectively, heated in one of a plurality of 3D coordinate positions by a heating system, the heating system comprising multiple heating elements arranged and configured to feed, via corresponding emission areas, at least one of radiant heat, heated air, and laser radiation into the 3D-volume, wherein at least two heating elements, differ from each other in at least one of orientation and location of the emission area relative to a 3D-volume reference, the method comprising calculating an operating parameter settings for operating the oven according to a locally-based heating scheme based on a 3D coordinate location of a food item located in the heating chamber.

A method for allowing opening of a first door pane with respect to a second door pane of a multi-pane door assembly of an oven appliance includes receiving, via a controller, one or more safety conditions relating to the oven appliance. The method also includes determining, via the controller, whether the one or more safety conditions correspond to one or more predetermined safety conditions. Further, the method includes allowing, via the controller, opening of the first door pane with respect to the second door pane of the multi-pane door assembly to provide access to a space between the first and second door panes only upon satisfaction of the one or more safety conditions corresponding to the one or more predetermined safety conditions.

A method for operating a connected oven based on subjective user feedback, wherein the connected oven includes a set of in-cavity sensors configured to monitor the foodstuff throughout a cooking session; the method comprising: executing a cooking session according to an initial set of operation instructions to achieve a target food output condition; collecting subjective feedback values from the user for the resulting food output condition of the foodstuff after the cooking session; and updating the initial set of operation instructions based on the feedback values from the user.

An adjustable user interface module (UIM) for a domestic appliance is provided and includes an adjustable UIM housing; a UIM electronic component mounted to the adjustable UIM housing; and a pair of adjustable fastening members adapted to mount the adjustable UIM housing to the domestic appliance, each of the adjustable fastening members being configured to adjust the adjustable UIM housing in at least an up and down direction to in turn adjust the height of the UIM electronic component.

A fire extinguishing range assembly includes a range has an oven is integrated therein and a plurality of burners. An oven temperature sensor is integrated into the range and a burner temperature sensor is integrated into the range. A fire extinguisher is integrated into the range and the fire extinguisher contains a fire retardant. The fire extinguisher is actuated when either of the burner temperature sensor or the oven temperature sensor senses a temperature that exceeds a pre-determined temperature. A plurality of nozzles is strategically distributed around the range. Each of nozzles is in fluid communication with the fire extinguisher thereby facilitating each of the nozzles to spray the fire retardant when the fire extinguisher is actuated to extinguish a fire that is burning in or on the range.

An operator control device for a household appliance includes an operator control element defining a longitudinal axis. The operator control element includes a cylindrical main part and an adjusting ring separate from the main part and arranged so as to engage around the main part. The adjusting ring is displaceable relative to the main part in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the operator control element for adjusting an operating condition of the household appliance. A display unit displays information on a display region on a lateral wall of the main part of the operator control element.

A household appliance includes a receiving region, a door attached to the receiving region, and a control and display facility provided on the door and configured to display items of information which vary depending on an opening angle of the door.

A cooking appliance device, in particular induction cooking appliance device, includes a muffle which has a muffle wall and is configured to define at least partially a cooking chamber. A heating element is provided to heat the muffle wall, with a first sensor unit detecting a temperature of the muffle wall.

An electric composite heat oven provided with a sight window of a transparent planar heating element is provided. Since the electric composite heat oven has a structure in which a heater heating element is installed, being lower than the upper end of a cooking container, on the front and rear sidewalls of a cooking chamber of an enclosure and a transparent planar heating element is installed over an opening of the cooking chamber of the enclosure, radiant heat may actively control various disturbances that occur during cooking depending on a place where the oven is installed and a change in temperature, whereby there is an effect of providing the optimum heat power depending on a cooking material and also shortening cooking time.

Provided is an electric oven in which, when a surface temperature of an opening or closing door reaches a set temperature while a body heats food with the opening or closing door closed, an alarm design visible with the naked eyes is displayed on a front surface of the opening or closing door by an alarm display portion so as to prevent burns or accidents caused by negligence of a user.
