Description

The present invention relates to a cooking device, in particular a steam cooking device, preferably for integration into a furniture front, with at least one device base body comprising at least one cooking chamber, at least one blower device and at least one air outlet opening for discharging air and/or vapors from the device base body, wherein the cooking chamber and the air outlet opening are operatively connected via at least one air outlet section and wherein at least one air flow directed towards the air outlet opening can be provided in the air outlet section by means of the blower device. The present invention further relates to a furniture system, a cooking device system and a method for operating a cooking device system.

A variety of different cooking devices, such as ovens, microwaves and/or steam cooking devices, with a cooking chamber for cooking food and/or foodstuffs have become known, which can be integrated in particular into a furniture front such as a kitchen unit.

Such known cooking devices often have at least one air outlet and/or at least one ventilation system in order to at least partially discharge air and/or vapors from the cooking chamber before, during and/or after operation of the cooking device, in particular by means of an air flow provided by at least one blower device. Such cooking devices are disclosed, for example, in the publications WO 2008 053 699 A1 and EP 3 587 930 A1 and FR 2 614 089 A1 and US 4 592 333 A and EP 2 657 615 A1 .

In order to minimize or even completely avoid the entry of moisture, fats and/or odors contained in the air and/or vapors into the surroundings of the cooking device, the air and/or vapors discharged from the cooking chamber are typically at least partially cleaned and/or mixed with fresh air in a recirculation mode, e.g. by means of a filter and/or catalyst device, and/or discharged to the outside in an exhaust air mode by means of a discharge line.

Such known cooking devices with an air outlet and/or ventilation system work largely reliably. The disadvantage of the known systems, however, is that their installation and/or operation often entails considerable costs and/or effort. For example, filter devices must be regularly maintained, cleaned and/or need to be renewed and/or use considerable amounts of energy and/or other resources, such as water, during operation. In addition, installing a drainage line is often not very energy-efficient and/or can only be implemented with considerable effort, particularly in private homes.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a cooking device which enables a user-friendly and reliable removal of air and/or vapors from the cooking chamber, in particular with a compact design and/or energy-efficient operation of the cooking device.

This object is achieved by the cooking device with the features of claim 1, the cooking device system with the features of claim 13, the method for operating a cooking device system with the features of claim 14 and the furniture system with the features of claim 16.
