Estimating the term…
A cooking appliance includes a heater, a blower, a steam generator, a cooking chamber, a cooking chamber drain, a steam condenser and a cooking appliance drain, and the steam condenser is arranged between the cooking chamber drain and the cooking appliance drain. A fluid from the steam generator and from a washing liquid reservoir, which fluid includes water, a cleaning agent, a rinsing agent, a wetting agent, a decalcification agent and/or waste products arising when cooking a product in the cooking chamber can be distributed in the cooking chamber for the cleaning of the chamber. A washing liquid reservoir is preferably filled at least partially by a step-by-step method of at least partial over-filling of the steam generator with water, and the washing liquid from the washing liquid reservoir, which liquid includes water and a cleaning agent, a rinsing agent, a wetting agent, a decalcification agent and/or waste products arising when cooking a product in the cooking chamber, is circulated via the blower, which is preferably controlled and/or regulated.
A cooking appliance comprising a heater, a blower, a steam generator, a cooking chamber, a cooking chamber drain, a steam condenser and a cooking appliance drain, with the steam condenser being arranged between the cooking chamber drain and the cooking appliance drain, said appliance including a washing liquid reservoir for receiving water obtained by condensing a steam from the steam generator, water from the cooking chamber and water heated at least to a temperature for the precipitation of carbonates, and combinations thereof, and means for distributing a washing liquid from the washing liquid reservoir into the cooking chamber for cleaning the cooking chamber, said washing liquid including water and an agent selected from a cleaning agent, a rinsing agent, a wetting agent, a decalcification agent and waste products arising when cooking a product in the cooking chamber.
A method for cleaning a cooking appliance having a heater, a blower, a steam generator, a cooking chamber, a cooking chamber drain, a steam condenser and a cooking appliance drain, with the steam condenser being arranged between the cooking chamber drain and the cooking appliance drain, said method comprising filling a washing liquid reservoir at least partially by a step selected from overfilling the steam generator with water, by means of at least partial condensation of the steam generated with the steam generator, the product being cooking in the cooking chamber, by fluids from a steam generator, from a quenching nozzle that has been particularly heated at least once to at least a temperature for precipitating carbonates, water which has been boiled and a washing liquid from a washing liquid reservoir include water, a cleaning agent, waste products arising from the cooking products, and circulating the washing liquid through the appliance.
