Abstract:
A household appliance, in particular an electrically operated household appliance, can be controlled using voice signals. In order to avoid malfunction, e.g. as a result of voice signals coming from a radio set and not from a user, a control program is configured in such a way that successive voice signals can only form a control command when the successive voice signals are input within a given time period.
Abstract:
A device for heating food using induction, including a base element having a secondary winding configured from a current conductor and a heating element that is connected to the winding. To reduce the height of the base element, a winding core is located inside the winding. Further, a device for transmitting energy to a device for heating food by induction, the former device including a primary winding that is configured from a current conductor and is connected to a voltage source.
Abstract:
A control unit for setting operating functions and operating parameters in an electrical household appliance includes a control knob retained on a control area. The control knob can be rotated about a knob axis for setting the operating parameters of, for example, a heating level. In order to simplify operation of the control unit, the control knob can be tilted or pushed out of an initial position or knob axis, into a selection position in order to select a specific operating function, for example a specific cooking position.
Abstract:
An electric oven with an oven muffle which can be closed by a door and in which a cooking-product support can be held on a holder element. The cooking-product support has its own cooking-product support heater element, and via a power supply element, the cooking-product support heater element can be fed with an electric voltage of the oven, is known. In order to keep the outlay for providing electrical contact for the cooking-product support heater element low, the holder element for the cooking-product support at the same time serves as the power supply conduit or element.
