Cooking appliance having a specific damping unit between guide tracks of a guide device for a lowerable door

A cooking appliance, comprising:

• a cooking chamber;
• a door for closing the cooking chamber;
• a stowing space which is separate from the cooking chamber and into which the door can be lowered, when opening the door;
• a guide device configured to guide the door as the door moves into the stowing space or out of the stowing space, said guide device including a slotted guide and a guide unit which is connected to the door and guided in the slotted guide, said guide unit including a guide bracket and two separate guide elements arranged on the guide bracket at different height positions, when viewed in a height direction, so as to define a lower guide element and a higher guide element, with the lower guide element moving on a lower guide track and arranged without contact with an upper guide track, which is separate from the lower guide track, and with the higher guide element moving on the upper guide track and arranged without contact with the lower guide track;
• a damping unit which, starting from an intermediate position of the door on a closing path of the door, is coupled to the guide unit such that at least a partial closing path is damped as the door is closed between the intermediate position and a completely closed end position of the door;
• and
• a transmission element directly coupled to the guide unit on the partial closing path, said damping unit being directly connected to the transmission element,
• wherein the transmission element is configured as a bracket, and
• wherein the bracket is L-shaped.

• a damping unit which, starting from an intermediate position of the door on a closing path of the door, is coupled to the guide unit such that at least a partial closing path is damped as the door is closed between the intermediate position and a completely closed end position of the door;
• wherein the partial closing path extends shy of the completely closed end position so as to define an end closing path which adjoins the partial closing path as the door is closed and extends as far as the completely closed end position of the door and which is undamped, and
• wherein the end closing path is dimensioned over an angular interval of between 8° and 12° relative to a vertical.
