Abstract
A cooking appliance () includes a lower casing (), a lower food-contacting heating plate (), and an upper bell-shaped body () which is movably mounted on the lower casing () so as to be movable to and from a closed position. An upper food-contacting heating plate () is located inside the bell-shaped body () so as to be positioned, when the bell-shaped body () is in the closed position, over the lower heating plate (). The upper food-contacting heating plate () is connected to the bell-shaped body () to move freely inside the bell-shaped body () in a direction (d) substantially perpendicular to the reference laying plane of the upper heating plate (). A heating-plate locking device () selectively impairs movement of the upper heating plate () in the moving direction (d), and a control unit () controls the heating-plate locking device ().
