Abstract
The present disclosure relates to food processors for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel by mixing, chopping and/or heating and to an extractor module for a food processor. A food processor for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel by mixing, chopping and/or heating comprises the food preparation vessel, an intake opening, a filter and a suction device with which fume from a food preparation in the food preparation vessel can be sucked in through the intake opening and conveyed through the filter. In this way, a space-saving and convenient possibility for the extraction of generated fume is created.
Claims10
A food processor for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel by heating as well as mixing and/or chopping, the food processor being a domestic food processor, the food processor comprising
- a food preparation vessel, the food preparation vessel including a bottom with a through opening, and further including a fume outlet opening, and a removable lid having an opening that can serve as the fume outlet opening in response to the lid covering the fume outlet opening,
- a rotatable tool configured to at least one of chop and/or mix the food in the food preparation vessel, the rotatable tool being rotatable about a vertical axis,
- a drive configured to rotate the rotatable tool, the drive being connected to the rotatable tool via a shaft that extends in a sealed manner through the through opening,
- an intake opening,
- a filter,
- a suction device with which fume from a food preparation in the food preparation vessel configured to be sucked in through the intake opening and conveyed through the filter,
- a heating device for heating a food in the food preparation vessel,
- a housing, wherein the filter and the intake opening are arranged in the housing so that fume configured to be sucked into the interior of the housing and configured to be filtered there, wherein the food preparation vessel is arranged on the housing, wherein the drive is arranged in the housing,
- wherein a lowest position of the intake opening is located less than 5 cm below the fume outlet opening of the food preparation vessel or higher,
- wherein the food processor has an upwardly facing cover surface, the cover surface defining at least a portion of an upper side of the food processor, and the intake opening is arranged in the cover surface,
- wherein the food processor includes an outlet opening for filtered fume, and
- wherein the outlet opening is arranged at a rear side of the food processor.
