A heating cooking apparatus (100) includes a heating cooking unit, a communication unit (40), a container portion (30), and a movable member (55). The heating cooking unit heats and cooks an object to be heated. The communication unit (40) wirelessly communicates with an external device. The container portion (30) contains the communication unit (40). The movable member (55) moves between a first position and a second position. The first position indicates a position of the movable member (55) when the movable member (55) is separated from the container portion (30). The second position indicates a position of the movable member (55) when the movable member (55) is closer to the container portion (30) than in the first position.

A tool that enables a single person to install a microwave oven by securing it to a wall is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method that the microwave oven installer uses.

A combination lifting mechanism for an appliance, and a cooking range ventilating hood. The lifting mechanism lifts the appliance within the open bottom portion of the hood and lowers the appliance for user access into the appliance. The lifting mechanism includes a support plate for the appliance and a lifting belt attached to the support plate. A motor wraps or unwraps a lifting belt onto a spool to either raise or lower the support plate. An isolation chamber is located in the open lower portion of the hood and is sized and configured to receive the appliance therein to protect the appliance from cooking gas and grease when the range below is used during cooking.

A cooking appliance includes a cooking chamber with cooking chamber wall, a microwave heat source configured to heat food, and a support device configured to hold a food-supporting member. The cooking chamber wall includes an opening and a lead-through device, and the lead-through device includes a through-hole configured to receive a fastening element of the support device. A tubular guide portion is formed at the through-hole of the lead-through device, and the tubular guide portion includes a safety portion configured to shield against microwave radiation and such that no part of the fastening element is located within the safety portion when the fastening element is in an installed condition in the lead-through device.

The invention is an apparatus comprising an electrically powered appliance with electrically conductive members mounted to the appliance that both support and supply electrical power to the appliance. The electrically conductive members comprise insulative housings with openings that fit over connectors attached to a wall. Both the housings and the connectors comprise electrical conductors. When the connectors are fitted inside the housings, the electrical conductors mate to provide electrical power to the appliance. Furthermore, the appliance is suspended from a wall to which the connectors are mounted. The appliance can be modular or have particular dimensions that allow it to function within an automated storage and retrieval system. Finally, the appliance may be fitted with an outlet to accommodate a detachable power cord.

The present application discloses a cooking device, which includes a cabinet; the cabinet includes an inner cavity, a first heating assembly and a second heating assembly; the inner cavity is provided with a cooking chamber, as well as a first side wall and a second side wall that are arranged opposite to each other, the first side wall is provided with a first ventilation structure, and the second side wall is provided with a second ventilation structure; the first heating assembly is arranged outside the inner cavity and arranged corresponding to the first ventilation structure, and is configured to circularly heat air in the cooking chamber; the second heating assembly is arranged outside the inner cavity and arranged corresponding to the second ventilation structure, and is configured to circularly heat the air in the cooking chamber.

A combination lifting mechanism for a microwave oven, or other appliance, and a cooking range ventilating hood. The lifting mechanism lifts the microwave within the open bottom portion of the hood and lowers the microwave oven for user access into the microwave oven.
