Abstract
An oven comprising an injection nozzle includes a nozzle member that has a fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet that is in communication with the inlet The nozzle member is movable between: (i) a first position, in which the first fluid outlet is arranged so as to direct fluid towards and onto a component of the oven to be cleaned; and (ii) a second position, in which the first fluid outlet is blocked or otherwise arranged so as not to direct fluid towards and onto said component.
Claims18
A steam oven comprising:
- a heater;
- and
- an injection nozzle comprising a nozzle member that has a fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet that is in communication with the inlet;
- wherein the nozzle member is movable between:
- (i) a first position, in which the first fluid outlet is arranged to direct fluid towards and onto a component of the oven to be cleaned;
- and (ii) a second position, in which the first fluid outlet is blocked or otherwise arranged so as not to direct fluid towards and onto said component;
- wherein the oven is a steam oven, the steam oven further comprising:
- a second fluid outlet in communication with the inlet, wherein the second fluid outlet is open in the second position, and arranged so as to direct fluid towards the heater.
