Cooking appliance device with cooking chambers and individual lighting of the chambers on the basis of a setting, and method

A cooking appliance apparatus, comprising:

• a first cooking compartment;
• a second cooking compartment that is different from the first cooking compartment;
• an operating apparatus designed to set operating conditions for both the first cooking compartment and the second cooking compartment;
• an illumination apparatus designed to illuminate the first and second cooking compartments in such a way that depending on for which one of the first and second cooking compartments the operating apparatus currently sets the operating conditions, only the one of the first and second cooking compartments is illuminated by the illumination apparatus with a specific identification illumination scenario;
• and
• a single cooking appliance in which the first and second cooking compartments are arranged,
• wherein the first and second cooking compartments are formed as cooking compartment sub-areas of a contiguous cooking compartment, and further comprising a cooking compartment divider designed for reversible insertion into and removal from the contiguous cooking compartment, and to separate the contiguous cooking compartment into the first and second cooking compartments when inserted into the contiguous cooking compartment.

A method for operating a cooking appliance apparatus comprising different first and second cooking compartments;

• said method comprising:
• setting with an operating apparatus operating conditions for both the first cooking compartment and the second cooking compartment;
• and
• illuminating the first and second cooking compartments in such a way that depending on for which one of the first and second cooking compartments the operating apparatus currently sets the operating conditions, only the one of the first and second cooking compartments is illuminated by the illumination apparatus with a specific identification illumination scenario,
• wherein the identification illumination scenario is different from a normal illumination scenario of the illumination apparatus, and further comprising illuminating at least one of the first and second cooking compartments being illuminated with the normal illumination scenario at least at times when the operating apparatus does not set operating conditions and/or illuminating the other one of the first and second cooking compartments with the normal illumination scenario at a same time as the one of the first and second cooking compartments is illuminated with the identification illumination scenario.
