Abstract
The present invention is related to a combination appliance (10) comprising a cooking hob (12), which comprises a cover plate or work top (18) and an extraction device (14). The extraction device (14) comprises—a suction opening (24, 32) arranged above the cooking hob (12), —a fan (36) for sucking air from the area above the cooking hob (12), —a filter element (42) for removing particles and/or odours from the air sucked in, and—an outlet opening (28, 34) for exhausting air. According to the invention, the direction of the sucked air comprises an at least major horizontal component and the outlet opening (28, 34) is arranged above the cooking hob (12).
Claims5
A combination appliance comprising a cooking hob having worktop defining a first cooking zone and a second cooking zone, each said cooking zone adapted to support a cooking pot for cooking;
- and a vertically movable first extraction device extendable through a first opening in said worktop adjacent to the first and second cooking zones between an off-mode position in which the first extraction device is flush with the worktop and an on-mode position in which the first extraction device extends above the worktop;
- the first extraction device comprising:
- a first suction opening disposed at a height corresponding to a rim of a pot when received in either the first cooking zone or the second cooking zone, thereby defining a substantially horizontal path for sucked air from pots in the first and second cooking zones into said first suction opening;
- a first filter located downstream of said suction opening relative to a first airflow path through the first extraction device;
- a first fan located downstream of said filter relative to said first airflow path;
- and
- a first outlet opening located downstream of said first fan relative to said first airflow path adapted to discharge air from the first airflow path into an ambient environment,
- wherein the first suction opening is arranged at a first side and the first outlet opening is arranged at a second side of the first extraction device opposite to the first side, such that the first suction opening and first outlet opening face opposite directions.
