A household cooking appliance, in particular an oven, comprises a cooking chamber defined by a muffle having a flue with a fume outlet at an upper wall of the muffle, and a front door, for opening and closing the cooking chamber. The appliance further comprises a delivery channel, defined by a duct body that extends above the upper wall of the muffle, the duct body having an outlet of the delivery channel that is substantially at a front region of the appliance, above an upper portion of the door, and having a fume inlet in a lower wall of the duct body, which is in fluid communication with the fume outlet of the muffle and with the delivery channel.

Household cooking appliance

A method for manufacturing an oven includes a) providing the muffle defining a cooking chamber (); b) providing a channelling () for conveying air; c) associating to a rear wall () of the muffle () a first fan () for ventilation of the cooking chamber; d) associating to the channelling () a second fan () for forcing air into the channelling (); e) associating the channelling () to an upper wall () of the muffle (). Step b) comprises shearing from a semi-finished product of a metal component () of the channelling () a corresponding portion (), so as to define an opening () for installation of the second fan (). Step c) comprises using the portion () sheared from the semi-finished product of the metal component () of the channelling () as a bracket for fixing the first fan () to the rear wall () of the muffle ().

Method for manufacturing a household cooking appliance, and corresponding household cooking appliance

The present invention relates to a cooking appliance, in particular for household use, comprising: The invention is characterized in that said at least one lighting device is positioned substantially in proximity to a front frame of the muffle and in correspondence with a first upper corner of said muffle, said at least one lighting device being associated with said muffle in a manner such as to generate a light beam having an axis substantially directed towards a central portion of said at least one cooking compartment.

Cooking appliance, in particular for domestic use

A household cooking appliance, in particular an oven, comprises a cooking chamber defined by a muffle having a flue with a fume outlet at an upper wall of the muffle, and a front door, for opening and closing the cooking chamber. The appliance further comprises a delivery channel, defined by a duct body that extends above the upper wall of the muffle, the duct body having an outlet of the delivery channel that is substantially at a front region of the appliance, above an upper portion of the door, and having a fume inlet in a lower wall of the duct body, which is in fluid communication with the fume outlet of the muffle and with the delivery channel. Operatively associated to the duct body is a ventilation assembly, so as to draw in fumes from the fume outlet of the muffle and expel them from the outlet of the delivery channel, the ventilation assembly being in a rear end region of the duct body that is generally opposite to the outlet of the delivery channel. The flue has at least one portion which is made integrally with one between the upper wall of the muffle and the lower wall of the duct body and comprises a drawn part of said wall.

Operatively associated to the duct body is a ventilation assembly, so as to draw in fumes from the fume outlet of the muffle and expel them from the outlet of the delivery channel, the ventilation assembly being in a rear end region of the duct body that is generally opposite to the outlet of the delivery channel. The ventilation assembly comprises a radial fan with a centrifugal impeller inside the duct body, the centrifugal impeller being positioned above the fume inlet of the duct body substantially coaxial thereto and to the fume outlet of the muffle in such a way that at least the fumes are drawn in from the fume outlet substantially in the direction of the axis (X) of the impeller and forced in a radial direction into the delivery channel for being expelled from the corresponding outlet. The rear end region of the duct body has a generally rounded peripheral profile so as to form a volute of the radial fan, the duct body preferably having a shape generally tapered towards its rear end region and comprising a lower half-shell and an upper half-shell. Provided inside the duct body, within the boundaries of the delivery channel, is a flow-deflector element configured for rendering the flow forced by the centrifugal impeller into the delivery channel uniform.

The present invention relates to a door () of a domestic cooking oven (), in particular of the pyrolytic type. The door () comprises at least a first and a second plate () and a first and a second upright beam (). The first plate () defines an outer surface of the door () and the two upright beams () receiving at least the second plate () are fixed internally relative thereto. The door () further comprises a first and a second locking element () removably engaged to the first and second upright beams () and configured to be selectively movable between an operating position, wherein they are engaged to the respective upright beams () in such a way as to lock at least the second plate () in a mounting position, and at least one unlocked position, wherein they enable the second plate () to be extracted from the door ().

Door for a domestic cooking oven

A method for manufacturing a household cooking appliance, in particular an oven, having a muffle defining a cooking chamber, includes the steps of: Step b) includes shearing from a semi-finished product of a metal component of the channel a corresponding portion, so as to define an opening for installation of the second fan. Step c) includes using the portion sheared from the semi-finished product of the metal component of the channel as a bracket for fixing the first fan to the rear wall of the muffle.
