A household appliance () is disclosed which comprises a liquid tank (), wherein the tank is adapted for translational movement between a use position in which the tank is positioned within a housing () of the household appliance and a servicing position in which the tank is at least partially extracted from the housing, the household appliance further comprises biasing means () for biasing the tank towards the servicing position, and releasable latch means () for selectively arresting the tank in the use position or releasing the tank for movement towards the servicing position. In accordance with the invention: the household appliance () further comprises a carriage () associated to the tank () and configured for translational movement along guide means () provided in the housing (); the biasing means () comprises a spring element configured to be loaded when the tank () is moved from the servicing position towards the use position; and the latch means comprises:20&#x2014;a catch () provided at the carriage, &#x2014;a locking member () located at the housing () which in the use position of the tank () engages the catch () to arrest the tank in the use position, and &#x2014;release means () for disengaging the locking member25 from the catch ().

Household appliance comprising a liquid tank

A cooking appliance includes a cooking cavity adapted to cook food therein; and a steam generator adapted to supply steam for cooking to the cooking cavity. The steam generator includes an L-shaped conduit for steamable fluid having one vertical arm and one horizontal arm, and a heating element located adjacent and external to the L-shaped conduit. The vertical arm is substantially vertical in an operative position of the steam generator.

Steam generator and household appliance

Household appliance () for cooking and/or baking food stuffs or bakery ware () comprising a heatable cavity () for placing the food stuffs or bakery ware (), an access door () for accessing the cavity (), a compartment () located exterior of said cavity (), said compartment being in fluid communication with said cavity () by at least one duct (), a control unit (), at least one first sensor () located in the compartment () and being connected to the control unit (), and wherein the at least one first sensor () is capable of measuring a first input value in said compartment (), and at least one second sensor () capable of measuring a second input value, wherein said second input value is a temperature value wherein said control unit comprises a matrix of humidity index values, said matrix being deposited in said control unit (), and wherein said control unit () is capable of correlating said input value of said at least one first sensor () to a humidity index value from said matrix.
