摘要： The present invention is related to a cooking appliance (100) comprising a first cooking plate (1) and a second cooking plate (2), said second cooking plate (2) being positionable in an operating condition, in which it faces the first cooking plate (1), so as to be able to heat a product positioned on the first cooking plate (1), and in an open condition in which it is lifted with respect to the first cooking plate (1) in such a way to allow freely positioning a food product on the first cooking plate (1), the cooking appliance (100) comprising a positioning device (3) for adjusting the position of the second cooking plate (2) with respect to the first cooking plate (1) when the second cooking plate (2) is in the operating condition, the positioning device allowing movements of the second cooking plate (2) with respect to the first cooking plate (1) having at least two degrees of freedom; it further comprises a control unit (4) operatively associated to the positioning device (3) and configured to control movements of the second cooking plate (2) with respect to the first cooking plate (1) individually for at least two of the at least two degrees of freedom. The invention is also related to a method for controlling a distance (d) between cooking plates (1, 2) of a cooking appliance (100) comprising a first cooking plate (1) and a second cooking plate (2), the second cooking plate (2) being positionable in an operating condition, in which it faces the first cooking plate (1), so as to be able to heat a product positioned on the first cooking plate (1), and in an open condition in which it is lifted with respect to the first cooking plate (1) in such a way to allow freely positioning a food product on the first cooking plate (1), the method comprising: —adjusting the position of the second cooking plate (2) relative to the first cooking plate (1), when the second cooking plate (2) is in the operating condition, by a movement of the second cooking plate (2) having at least two degrees of freedom; —calculating the distance between said first cooking plate (1) and the second cooking plate (2).
