Air filtration device

A deep-frying device comprising a reservoir, a discharge channel for discharging fumes, and a converter for converting volatile organic compounds into carbon dioxide and water, has a passage for the admixture of ambient air to the fumes exuded during deep-frying. This provides an improved odour reduction. In the case of upstream admixture additional oxygen is available, as a result of which a more complete conversion is achieved. In the case of downstream admixture, conversion is possible at a higher temperature without a corresponding rise in the temperature of the discharged mixture.

Deep-frying device

A steam iron comprises a water reservoir, a steam chamber, a water-supply system for conveying water from the reservoir to the steam chamber and a metering system for injecting a phosphonate compound which acts to inhibit scale growth into the reservoir.
