In one aspect of a vapor detecting device for a cooking appliance and a unit containing a cooking appliance and a vapor detecting device, the exhaust air that flows in through a first opening and/or through a second opening into the vapor collecting device flows through the following stations arranged within the vapor collecting device, one after the other, namely: a coolable body, as a station of the condensation device, so as to clean the exhaust air of aerosols and water droplets and to condense out at least part of the steam and preferably partially cool it; a grease separator filter as the first station of the treatment device; a sponge filter as the second station of the treatment device; a plasma as the third station of the treatment device, for sterilization, ionization and/or dissociation; and an activated charcoal filter as the fourth station of the treatment device.

A high thermal mass cooking oven with an oven compartment having multiple high thermal mass cooking racks spaced in parallel opposition but close proximity is provided. A large blower allows a large amount of heated air to enter the cooking compartment and be retained by the oven compartment walls and cooking racks. The cooking racks are more massive than a typical oven and provide high conductivity and emissivity.

A cooking appliance includes a secondary venting arrangement within an oven cavity to supplement a primary venting arrangement with localized venting of combustion products adjacent a flame detector that detects a flame emitted by a gas burner disposed under the oven cavity. Doing so may assist with stabilizing the flame generated by the gas burner prior to establishment of steady state flow pattern within the oven cavity.

A microwave cooking appliance having a connector system connecting the appliance to an external vent configuration. The connector system may include an adaptor. The connector system may include a mounting bracket to mount the microwave cooking appliance. The adaptor and/or mounting bracket may include one or more magnets to magnetically connect the adaptor with the mounting bracket. The connector system may include a sealing system.

The present disclosure relates to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes an exhaust inducing part creating at least any one of a flow of air from any one lateral surface of a housing to the other lateral surface of the housing out of both lateral surfaces of the housing and a flow of air from the front of a cooking space to the rear surface of the housing, while being disposed on a lateral surface of the housing and creating a flow of air at the front of the cooking space.

The present disclosure relates to a co′oking appliance. The cooking appliance includes an exhaust inducing part being disposed on at least any one of both lateral surfaces of a housing and creating a flow of air from the front of a cooking space to the rear surface of the housing, and a door provided with an air exhaust opening that forms a passage for discharging air in the door out of the door.

An oven appliance having a cabinet with a chamber positioned within the cabinet. The chamber is configured for receipt of a food item for cooking. The oven appliance also includes a door for providing selective access to the chamber and a plurality of walls including a top wall, a bottom wall, a back wall, a front wall, and opposing sidewalls defining the chamber. Further, the oven appliance includes a heating element for heating and cooking the food item. Moreover, the oven appliance includes a vent assembly for directing airflow from within the chamber outside of the chamber. The vent assembly includes a vent and a vent cover arranged atop the vent. The vent cover includes a body defining a cover portion and at least one flange. The flange(s) defines at least one trough for collecting condensed liquid therein.

A cooking appliance includes a main body forming a machine room; a cooking chamber arranged below the machine room; an intermediate flow path including a first suction port and formed between the machine room and the cooking chamber; and a fan configured to suction air into the intermediate flow path, wherein the machine room includes a second suction port through which air is suctioned, and an opening portion connected to the intermediate flow path, the opening portion includes a first opening portion and a second opening portion arranged at a farther distance from the fan than the first opening portion, and the second opening portion has an area larger than an area of the first opening portion.

Provided is an oven comprising an air guide configured to guide the flow of air discharged from a discharge passage. The oven comprises: a main body having an open cavity; a door for opening and closing the oven cavity; a handle disposed on the upper portion of the front surface of the door; an air blower fan disposed on the top of the oven cavity so as to blow air suctioned from the outside of the main body; the discharge passage configured to discharge the air suctioned by the air blower fan to the outside of the main body; and the air guide disposed on one end of the discharge passage so as to divide the flow of air discharged through the discharge passage into an upper portion and a lower portion.
