Abstract
A baking oven includes baking oven lighting reduced by a dimmer device of a control device not suddenly each time, but such that the lighting becomes continuously weaker over a time period visually evident to a user. The light intensity is, preferably, also continuously increased when the baking space lighting is switched on.
Claims18
In a baking oven having a baking space, operating modes, and at least one manually operable oven element, a lighting configuration comprising:
- a baking space lighting connected to the oven element and respectively switched on and off, dependent upon at least one of the operating modes, when the oven element is manually operated;
- and
- a control device connected to said baking space lighting, said control device having a dimmer device preventing a light intensity of said baking space lighting from being reduced to zero when said baking space lighting is switched off by automatically continuously reducing said baking space lighting over a predetermined extended time period visually evident to a user.
A baking oven, comprising:
- a baking space;
- at least one manually operable oven element at said baking space;
- a baking space lighting at said baking space and connected to said oven element;
- a control device connected to said baking space lighting and having:
- operating modes;
- and
- a dimmer device preventing a light intensity of said baking space lighting from being substantially immediately reduced to zero when said baking space lighting is switched off by automatically continuously reducing said baking space lighting over a predetermined extended time period visually evident to a user;
- and
- said baking space lighting being respectively switched on and off, dependent upon at least one of said operating modes, when said oven element is manually operated.
6 more elements
A lighting configuration, comprising:
- a lighting assembly to be connected to at least one manual operating element;
- a control device to be connected to said lighting assembly, said control device having:
- operating modes;
- and
- a dimmer device preventing a light intensity of said lighting assembly from being substantially immediately reduced to zero when said lighting assembly is switched off by automatically continuously reducing said lighting assembly over a predetermined extended time period visually evident to a user;
- and
- said lighting assembly being respectively switched on and off, dependent upon at least one of said operating modes, when the oven element is manually operated.
