Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Gargerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zum Garen von Gargut in einem Garraum solch eines Gargeräts.The present invention relates to a cooking appliance according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for cooking food in a cooking chamber such a cooking appliance.

Die DE 103 37 161 A1 beschreibt ein Gargerät zum Regenerieren von Gargut, bei dem durch die Bereitstellung eines Bedienelements freie oder mit Gargut beschickte Regenerierungsebenen sowie Regenerierungsdauem der beschickten Regenerierungsebenen nach Initiieren von Uhren der jeweils beschickten Regenerierungsebenen auf einfache, flexible und übersichtliche Art und Weise angezeigt werden können, jedoch ohne Differenzierung nach Behandlungszonen einer Behandlungsebene.The DE 103 37 161 A1 describes a cooking appliance for the regeneration of food, in which by providing a control element free or loaded with food Regeneration levels and Regenerierungsdauem the fed Regenerierungssebenen after initiation of clocks each loaded Regenerierungsebenen in a simple, flexible and clear way can be displayed, but without differentiation after treatment zones of a treatment level.

Eine Weiterentwicklung des Gargeräts gemäß der DE 103 37 161 A1 ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2006 008 096 A1 bekannt, bei dem auch bei einer rollierenden Beschickung der Behandlungsebenen eines Garraums zu jedem Zeitpunkt ein ideales Garraumklima eingestellt werden kann, das eine flexible Handhabung des Gargeräts auch bei einer Mischbeschickung ermöglicht, ohne manuelle Korrekturen zu benötigen, um erwünschte Garergebnisse zu erhalten. Möchte aber eine Bedienperson zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten Gargut in ein und dieselbe Behandlungsebene einbringen, nämlich in unterschiedliche Behandlungszonen, so muss sie sich bislang merken, wo in besagter Behandlungsebene sie welches Gargut angeordnet hat, um die jeweils fertig gegarten Gargüter rechtzeitig entnehmen zu können. Besonders problematisch wird dies, wenn bspw. in einer Behandlungsebene Gargüter auf drei oder mehr Tellern anordbar sind.A further development of the cooking appliance according to the DE 103 37 161 A1 is for example from the DE 10 2006 008 096 A1 in which, even with a rolling loading of the treatment levels of a cooking chamber at any time an ideal cooking space climate can be set, which allows flexible handling of the cooking appliance even with a mixed feed, without requiring manual corrections to obtain desired cooking results. But would like to bring an operator at different times food in one and the same treatment level, namely in different treatment zones, they must remember so far, where in which treatment level she has arranged which food to be able to remove each finished cooked food in good time. This is particularly problematic if, for example, in a treatment level food can be arranged on three or more plates.

Der EP 0 313 768 B1 ist ein Gargerät zu entnehmen, bei dem nach Auswahl eines Garguts bestimmte Garraumbereiche zum Beladen mit dem Gargut angezeigt werden.Of the EP 0 313 768 B1 is to be taken from a cooking appliance, in which after selecting a cooking certain Garraumbereiche be displayed for loading with the food.

Die DE 20 2006 009 284 U1 offenbart ein Gargerät mit unterschiedlichen Behandlungsebenen, für die unterschiedlichen Soll-Gargutzustandsgrößen, die zum Ende eines Gar- und/oder Regenerierungsprozesses in der jeweiligen Behandlungsebene zu erreichen sind, angegeben werden können, so dass es auch ungeübten Bedienpersonal ermöglicht wird, eine rollierende Beschickung des Gargeräts vorzunehmen unter gleichzeitiger Sicherstellung eines erwünschten Garergebnisses in den einzelnen Behandlungsebenen. Dabei kann eine Überwachung der entsprechenden Ist-Gargutzustandsgrößen, wie z.B. der Kerntemperatur, für die unterschiedlichen Gargüter in den unterschiedlichen Behandlungsebenen über mehrere, vorzugsweise kabellose, Messwertaufnehmer sichergestellt werden.The DE 20 2006 009 284 U1 discloses a cooking appliance with different levels of treatment, for the different target Gargutzustandsgrößen that can be achieved at the end of a cooking and / or regeneration process in the respective treatment level, can be given, so that even untrained operating personnel is enabled, a rolling feed of the cooking appliance while ensuring a desired cooking result in the individual treatment levels. In this case, a monitoring of the corresponding actual Gargutzustandsgrößen, such as the core temperature, for the different items to be cooked in the different levels of treatment over several, preferably wireless, transducers are ensured.

Die DE 100 27 072 A1 offenbart einen Regenerationsofen für eine Bordküche mit einem kastenförmigen Erwärmungsmodul, in den tablettenartige Einschübe einbringbar sind, die mehrere Erwärmungsplätze, in die jeweils mindestens ein Heizelement und ein Sensor eingelassen und versiegelt sind, darbieten können. Sind alle in den Regenerationsofen geladenen Speisen erwärmt oder befinden sich alle belegten Erwärmungsplätze in einem Warmhaltemodus, so wird dies Bordpersonal durch eine Anzeigeeinheit angezeigt.The DE 100 27 072 A1 discloses a regeneration furnace for a galley with a box-shaped heating module, in the tablet-like trays can be introduced, which can provide several heating stations, in each of which at least one heating element and a sensor are embedded and sealed. If all the food loaded in the regeneration oven is warmed up or if all the occupied heating places are in a warming-up mode, this is indicated to on-board personnel by a display unit.

In der DE 101 20 136 A1 ist ein Gargerät mit einer automatischen Garguterkennung beschrieben, die es ermöglicht, eine Energiezufuhr zu einem Gargut abhängig von der erkannten Gargutart und Gargutposition zu regeln, so dass bspw. bei Fleisch-Grillen nur Fleischstücke erhitzt werden, während ein eventuell verbleibender Rest einer Garfläche im Wesentlichen kalt bleibt, so dass ein Verdampfen von aus den Fleischstücken austretendem Saft und ein Einbrennen von abfallenden Festkörperpartikeln auf der Garfläche im Wesentlichen vermieden wird.In the DE 101 20 136 A1 a cooking appliance is described with an automatic Garguterkennung, which makes it possible to regulate an energy supply to a food depending on the recognized Gargutart and Gargutposition, so that, for example, in meat crickets only pieces of meat are heated while a possibly remaining rest of a cooking surface substantially remains cold, so that evaporation of leaking from the pieces of meat juice and burning of falling solid particles on the cooking surface is substantially avoided.

In der US 2007/0199931 A1 ist ein Nahrungsmittelzeitgeber-System beschrieben, dass eine Vielzahl von Zeitgeber-Modulen umfasst, die an ein Netzwerk angeschlossen sind, um Informationen über Nahrungsmittel in Nahrungsmittelaufbewahrungsgeräten bereitzustellen. Jedes Zeitgeber-Modul umfasst dabei eine Vielzahl von Zeitgebern, die jeweils mit einem Abteil eines Nahrungsmittelaufbewahrungsgeräts assoziiert sind. Die Zeitgeber messen die Belegungsdauer jedes Nahrungsmittels in jedem Nahrungsmittelaufbewahrungsabteil und sind dazu geeignet, die Belegungsdauer auf einen anderen Zeitgeber zu übertragen, wenn ein Nahrungsmittel in ein anderes Nahrungsmittelaufbewahrungsabteil umgesetzt wird.In the US 2007/0199931 A1 For example, a food timer system is described that includes a plurality of timer modules connected to a network to provide information about foods in food storage devices. Each timer module includes a plurality of timers, each associated with a compartment of a food storage device. The timers measure the occupancy time of each food in each food storage compartment and are capable of transferring the occupancy time to another timer when a food item is transferred to another food storage compartment.

Aus der GB 2 380 923 A ist ein Backofen mit mehreren Einschüben bekannt, wobei jede Einschubebene unabhängig von der weiteren Einschubebenen betrieben werden kann. Eine einzige Bedieneinheit ist dabei vorgesehen, um separate Anweisungen für jede Einschubebene anzunehmen und eine Kontrolleinheit steuert die Einschubebenen unabhängig von einander, wobei Informationen zu jeder Einschubebene auf der Bedieneinheit separat dargestellt werden können.From the GB 2 380 923 A is a multi-bay oven known, each level can be operated independently of the other levels of insertion. A single control unit is provided to accept separate instructions for each rack level and a control unit controls the rack levels independently of each other, with information on each rack level can be displayed separately on the control unit.

Die DE 202 03 117 U 1 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur Wärmebehandlung von Nahrungsmitteln mit mindestens einem Ofenmodul zur Wärmebehandlung eines darin aufgenommenen Lebensmittels. Dabei umfasst die Vorrichtung ein programmierbares Bedienteil, das mit dem Ofenmodul zu dessen Steuerung gekoppelt ist und einen Bus zur Koppelung zumindest eines Ofenmoduls mit dem Bedienteil.The DE 202 03 117 U 1 describes a device for heat treatment of food with at least one furnace module for heat treatment of a food received therein. In this case, the device comprises a programmable control unit, which is coupled to the furnace module for its control and a bus for coupling at least one furnace module with the control panel.

Ein gattungsgemäßes Gargerät ist aus der US 2007/0254079 A1 bekannt, in der beschrieben ist, das in einem Gargerät mittels einer Anzeige- und/oder Bedieneinrichtung ein Status des Inhalts einer Einschubebene des Gargeräts anzeigbar ist, ohne dass ein separates Display für jede Einschubebene vorgesehen sein muss. Jede Einschubebene weist dabei drei Behandlungszonen in Form von Behältern auf und der Inhalt der Behälter sowie zusätzliche Informationen zu den Nahrungsmitteln können auf der Anzeige- und/oder Bedieneinrichtung ausgegeben werden.A generic cooking appliance is from the US 2007/0254079 A1 in which is described, which in a cooking appliance by means of a display and / or operating device, a status of the content of a rack level of the cooking appliance can be displayed without a separate display must be provided for each rack level. Each rack level has three treatment zones in the form of containers, and the contents of the containers and additional information about the food can be displayed on the display and / or operating device.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das gattungsgemäße Gargerät derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass es die Nachteile des Stands der Technik überwindet, insbesondere eine hohe Anwenderfreundlichkeit bei einer optimalen Ausnutzung eines Garraums ohne Einbuße einer Garqualität aufweist.The invention has for its object to further develop the generic cooking appliance such that it overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular has a high level of user friendliness with an optimal utilization of a cooking chamber without loss of cooking quality.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 9 beschrieben.Advantageous developments are described in claims 2 to 9.

Erfindungsgemäß wird auch ein Verfahren zum Garen von Gargut nach Anspruch 10 offenbart.According to the invention, a method for cooking food according to claim 10 is disclosed.

Vorteilhaften Weiterbildung eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind in den Ansprüche 11 bis 13 beschrieben.Advantageous developments of a method according to the invention are described in claims 11 to 13.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass es insbesondere für eine rollierende Beschickung zum Fertiggaren bzw. Regenerieren von Gargut in der Groß- und Gewerbeküche nicht ausreichend ist, eine Behandlungsebene mit einer einzigen Garzeit, nämlich Regenerierungszeit, zu belegen, da eine Vielzahl von Gargütern zur optimalen Ausnutzung eines Garraums in jede Behandlungsebene bspw. jeweils auf einem Teller einbringbar sind, was jedoch zur Folge hat, dass eine Bedienperson wissen muss, wann welcher Teller wo in welche Behandlungsebene eingebracht worden ist, um ein Untergaren oder Übergaren der Gargüter zu vermeiden. Ein solches "Erinnern" ist im hektischen Alltag fast unmöglich, und ein falsches "Erinnern" führt zu unerwünschten Garergebnissen, so fern nicht von einer erfindungsgemäßen Zuordnung von Zeiten zu jeder mit Gargut belegbaren Behandlungszone einer Behandlungsebene Gebrauch gemacht wird.The invention is thus based on the finding that, in particular for a rolling charge for the finished cooking or regeneration of food in the large and commercial kitchen is not sufficient to occupy a treatment level with a single cooking time, namely regeneration time, as a variety of food For optimal utilization of a cooking chamber in each treatment level, for example, each on a plate can be introduced, but this has the consequence that an operator must know when which plate has been placed where in which treatment level to avoid undercooking or overcooking of the food. Such a "remembrance" is almost impossible in hectic everyday life, and a false "remembering" leads to undesirable cooking results, so long as no use according to the invention of assigning times to each garment-eligible treatment zone of a treatment level.

Vorteilhaft ist es zudem, wenn in Abhängigkeit eines zu regenerierenden Gargutes die maximal, noch, belegbaren Behandlungsebenen und Behandlungszonen automatisch einer Bedienperson angezeigt werden. Ist also nur eine Beschickung bestimmter Behandlungszonen bestimmter Behandlungsebenen empfehlenswert, bspw. aufgrund der Bemaßung eines Gargutträgers und/oder Gargutes, werden nur diese angezeigt, um keine überflüssigen Informationen, die zu einer Verwirrung einer Bedienperson führen können, anzeigen zu müssen.It is also advantageous if, depending on a food to be regenerated, the maximum, still assignable treatment levels and treatment zones are automatically displayed to an operator. Thus, if only a loading of certain treatment zones of particular treatment levels is recommended, for example due to the dimensioning of a food support and / or food, only these are displayed in order to show any unnecessary information that can lead to confusion of an operator.

Des weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass im laufenden Betrieb des Gargeräts bei Auswahl eines bestimmten Gargutes der jeweils geeigneteste Platz zur Platzierung desselben, nämlich in Form einer bestimmten Behandlungszone, ermittelt und angezeigt wird. Eine Eignung einer Behandlungszone kann sich beispielsweise dadurch ergeben, dass bei ihrer Beladung alle in der entsprechenden Behandlungsebene angeordneten Gargüter ungefähr zur gleichen Zeit fertig gegart sind (Zeitoptimierung) oder möglichst wenig Energie benötigen (Ressourcenoptimierung).Furthermore, it can be provided that, during the operation of the cooking appliance, the respectively most suitable place for the placement thereof, namely in the form of a specific treatment zone, is selected and displayed when a specific item of food is selected. A suitability of a treatment zone can result, for example, from the fact that, during its loading, all the food items arranged in the corresponding treatment level are cooked at about the same time (time optimization) or require as little energy as possible (resource optimization).

Als weiteren Vorteil eröffnet das erfindungsgemäße Gargerät erstmals die Möglichkeit, die Beschickung von Behandlungszonen und/oder -ebenen einfach zu ändern, wenn bspw. durch ein späteres Einbringen eines größeren Gargutes weiterer Platz benötigt wird, da die entsprechende Information bspw. ähnlich einer Drag- und Drop-Funktion über insbesondere einen Touchscreen eingegeben werden können.As a further advantage, the cooking appliance according to the invention opens up the possibility for the first time of simply changing the charge of treatment zones and / or levels, if, for example, further space is required by a later introduction of a larger food item, since the corresponding one Information, for example, similar to a drag and drop function can be entered via a particular touch screen.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand schematischer Zeichnungen im einzeln erläutert ist. Dabei zeigt:

Ein erfindungsgemäßes (nicht gezeigtes) Gargerät kann ähnlich einem unter dem Handelsnamen SelfCooking Center® seitens der Anmelderin vertriebenes Gargerät ein Kombidämfper sein, der unter anderem mit einer Heizeinrichtung, einer Feuchtigkeitszufuhreinrichtung, einer Feuchtigkeitsabfuhreinrichtung und einer Gebläseeinrichtung zum Zirkulieren von Garraumatmosphäre ausgerüstet ist. Ferner ist erfindungsgemäß eine Anzeige- und Bedienleiste 1, wie sie in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigt ist, für solch ein Gargerät vorgesehen. Diese Anzeige- und Bedienleiste 1 umfasst wiederum ein Touchscreen 2 und einen Dreh- und Druckknopf 3 zur Optimierung einer rollierenden Beschickung bspw. zum Regenerieren vorgegarter Gargüter, wie im Anschluss beschrieben. Selbstverständlich sind jedoch auch Gargeräte zur Verwirklichung der Erfindung geeignet, die eine Mikrowellenquelle besitzen, sei es zusätzlich zu einer Heizeinrichtung und/oder Feuchtigkeitszufuhreinrichtung oder ausschließlich. Auch die Existenz einer Einrichtung zum Anlegen eines Druckes kann vorteilhaft sein, da diese, ähnlich wie eine Mikrowellenquelle, zu einer Beschleunigung eines Garens führen kann.A cooking appliance according to the invention (not shown) may be similar to a cooking appliance marketed by the Applicant under the trade name SelfCooking Center®, a combi steamer equipped inter alia with a heater, a moisture supply device, a moisture removal device and a blower device for circulating cooking chamber atmosphere. Furthermore, according to the invention is a display and control bar 1, as in the Figures 1 and 2 is shown provided for such a cooking appliance. This display and control bar 1 in turn comprises a touch screen 2 and a rotary and push button 3 for optimizing a rolling feed bspw. For regenerating pre-cooked food, as described below. Of course, however, cooking appliances are suitable for realizing the invention, which have a microwave source, be it in addition to a heater and / or moisture supply or exclusively. Also, the existence of a means for applying a pressure may be advantageous because, like a microwave source, it may lead to an acceleration of cooking.

Der Garraum des Gargeräts umfasst bspw. zehn durch Einschübe festgelegte, horizontal verlaufende Behandlungs- bzw. Regenerierungsebenen, zu denen auf dem Touchscreen 2 in einer ersten Menüebene zehn Regenerierungsebenenfelder 20 bis 29 aufscheinen, so dass also jeder Regenerierungsebene ein Regenerierungsebenenfeld zugewiesen ist. Durch Antippen eines dieser Felder 20 bis 29 wird dasselbe zwecks Einstellung einer Garzeit für die dazugehörende Regenerierungsebene aktiviert.The cooking chamber of the cooking appliance comprises, for example, ten, horizontally extending treatment or regeneration levels determined by inserts, to which ten regeneration level fields 20 to 29 appear on the touchscreen 2 in a first menu level, so that each regeneration level is assigned a regeneration level field. By tapping one of these fields 20 to 29 the same is activated for the purpose of setting a cooking time for the associated regeneration level.

Geht man bspw. von einer ebenenweisen Befüllung des Garraums mit Gargut aus, so kann zuerst eine oberste oder erste Regenerierungsebene beschickt werden, der das Regenerierungsebenenfeld 20 zugewiesen ist. Die Gargüter können dabei alle in einem Einschub auf Tellern angeordnet werden, weshalb in dem Regenerierungsebenenfeld 20 nicht nur eine Nummer 21a angegeben ist, sondern auch ein Einschub 22a symbolisiert ist. Wird nun ein spezielles Gargut ausgewählt, bspw. so wie beim SelfCooking Center® üblich, so erscheint im Regenerierungsebenenfeld 20 automatisch ein Vorschlag für eine Garzeit 23 a, die im Falle des Beispiels von Figur 1 fünf Minuten beträgt.If, for example, one starts from a filling of the cooking chamber with food in stages, then first a top or first regeneration level can be fed to which the regeneration level field 20 is assigned. The items to be cooked can all be arranged in an inset on plates, which is why not only a number 21a is indicated in the regeneration level field 20, but also an insert 22a is symbolized. If a special food item is now selected, for example, as is customary in the SelfCooking Center®, a suggestion for a cooking time 23 a automatically appears in the regeneration level field 20, which in the case of the example of FIG FIG. 1 five minutes.

Folgt man dem Vorschlag des Gargeräts gemäß Figur 1, also der Beschickung der ersten Regenerierungsebene mit dem ausgewählten Gargut und der Garzeit von fünf Minuten, so ist der Garraum noch nicht mit besagtem Gargut zu beschicken. Vielmehr wird als nächstes zur Optimierung der Raumausnutzung des Garraums durch Antippen des Regenerierungsebenenfelds 20 eine zweite Menüebene geöffnet, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt. Der zweiten Menüebene lässt sich sodann entnehmen, dass in der ersten Regenerierungsebene grundsätzlich vier Regenerierungszonen bereitgestellt sind, denen auch jeweils ein Regenerierungzonenfeld 200 - 203 zugewiesen ist, wobei zwei Regenerierungszonen 200, 201 in einer oberen Reihe und zwei Regenerierungszonen 202 und 203 in einer unteren Reihe angeordnet sind. In jede dieser Zonen lässt sich ein Teller platzieren, wie durch die Tellerzonen 210 - 213 in den Anzeigefeldem 200 - 203 veranschaulicht.Following the proposal of the cooking appliance according FIG. 1 , So the loading of the first regeneration level with the selected food and the cooking time of five minutes, so the oven is not yet to load with said food. Rather, next to optimize the space utilization of the cooking chamber by tapping the Regenerierungsebenenfelds 20, a second menu level is opened, as in FIG. 2 shown. The second menu level can then be deduced that in the first regeneration level basically four regeneration zones are provided, to each of which a regeneration zone field 200 - 203 is assigned, with two regeneration zones 200, 201 in an upper row and two regeneration zones 202 and 203 in a lower row are arranged. In each of these zones, a plate can be placed, as illustrated by the plate zones 210-213 in the display panels 200-203.

Zudem lässt sich der in Figur 2 gezeigten zweiten Menüebene entnehmen, dass bereits drei Regenerierungszonen mit Gargut belegt sind, wobei die entsprechenden Gargüter Garzeiten von sieben, drei bzw. fünfeinhalb Minuten fordern, siehe die Zeiten 220 - 223 in besagten Anzeigefeldern 200 - 203. Das ausgewählte Gargut, das eine Garzeit von fünf Minuten benötigt, kann also nur noch in die erste Regenerierungszone mit dem Anzeigefeld 200 eingebracht werden.In addition, the in FIG. 2 from the second menu level shown that already three regeneration zones are covered with food, with the corresponding food to require cooking times of seven, three or five and a half minutes, see the times 220 - 223 in said display panels 200 - 203. The selected food, a cooking time of Five minutes required, so can only be introduced into the first regeneration zone with the display panel 200.

Somit lassen sich der Anzeige- und Bedienleiste 1 im Bereich des Touchscreens 2 in der in Figur 2 dargestellten Menüebene die Anzahl und die Anordnung der mit Gargut belegten und noch belegbaren Regenerierangszonen und als erste Größe eine noch verbleibende Garzeit entnehmen. Wäre eine der Regenerierungszonen noch mit Gargut belegbar, ohne dass jedoch bereits ein Gargut ausgewählt wäre, würde in dem dazugehörenden Anzeigefeld keine erste Größe aufscheinen.Thus, the display and control bar 1 in the area of the touch screen 2 in the in FIG. 2 shown menu level, the number and arrangement of occupied with food and still assignable Regenerierangszonen and remove the first size of a remaining cooking time. If one of the regeneration zones could still be assigned food, but without a food item already being selected, no first size would appear in the associated display field.

Die Garzeit, oder besser gesagt die noch verbleibende Garzeit, muss nicht durch eine Zahlenangabe angezeigt werden, sondern kann auch durch eine optische Hervorhebung einer Fläche eines Balkens oder eines eine Tellerzone repräsentierenden Kreises angezeigt werden. So könnte die während eines Garverfahrens ablaufende Garzeit durch einen stetig wachsenden Balken oder eine stetig anwachsende Kreissegmentanzahl dargestellt werden. Zum Zeitpunkt des Erreichens eines Garzeitendes könnte der Balken bzw. der Kreis in einer neuen Farbe oder durch Pulsieren besonders hervorgehoben werden, also nach Art eines Warnsignals, das eine Bedienperson sofort erkennt lässt, dass nun das entsprechende Gargut fertig gegart ist.The cooking time, or rather the remaining cooking time, does not have to be indicated by a numerical value, but can also be indicated by an optical highlighting of an area of a bar or a circle representing a plate zone. Thus, the cooking time running during a cooking process could be represented by a steadily growing bar or a steadily increasing number of circle segments. At the time of reaching a cooking time of the bar or the circle in a new color or by pulsation could be highlighted, so in the manner of a warning signal that immediately recognizes an operator that now the corresponding food is cooked ready.

Die Zuordnung der Regenerierungszonenfelder 200 - 203 zu den Regenerierungszonen der ersten Regenerierungsebene ist derart, dass die in Figur 2 vorderen Anzeigefelder 202 und 203 zu im Garraum vorderen, einer Garraumtür zugewandten Regenerierungszonen gehören, so dass bei vollständiger Beschickung der ersten Regenerierungsebene das zuerst zu entnehmenden Gargut einfach von vorne aus entfernt werden kann. Gemäß den Angaben zu den Zeiten 220 - 223 ist nämlich zuerst das Gargut aus der Regenerierungszone zu entnehmen, die zu dem Regenerierungszonenfeld 202 gehört, nämlich nach drei Minuten. Danach, nämlich zwei Minuten später, ist bereits das Gargut zu entfernen, dessen Beladung mit Bezug auf das Regenerierungszonenfeld 200 beschrieben worden ist. Sodann, nämlich eine halbe Minute später, ist die zu dem Regenerierungszonenfeld 203 gehörende Regenerierungszone zu entleeren; und schließlich, nach insgesamt sieben Minuten, die verbleibende Regenerierungszone mit dem Regenerierungszonenfeld 201.The assignment of the regeneration zone fields 200 - 203 to the regeneration zones of the first regeneration level is such that the in FIG. 2 front display panels 202 and 203 in front of the cooking chamber, a cooking chamber door facing regeneration zones include, so that when fully loaded the first regeneration level, the first to be removed food can be easily removed from the front. Namely, according to the indications of the times 220-223, the food to be cooked is first to be taken out of the regeneration zone belonging to the regeneration zone field 202, namely after three minutes. After that, two minutes later, the food to be cooked has already been removed, the charge of which has been described with reference to the regeneration zone field 200. Then, half a minute later, the regeneration zone belonging to the regeneration zone field 203 is to be emptied; and finally, after a total of seven minutes, the remaining regeneration zone with the regeneration zone field 201.

Ferner ist noch festzuhalten, dass das erste Menü zumindest teilweise zeitgleich mit dem zweiten Menü angezeigt wird, wobei das zweite Menüfeld eine Vergrößerung eines Bereichs des ersten Menüfeldes darstellt, um einer Bedienperson zu ermöglichen, sowohl eine Information zu der jeweils betroffenen Regenerierungsebene als auch zu deren Regenerierungszonen zu erhalten.It should also be noted that the first menu is at least partially displayed at the same time as the second menu, the second menu field representing an enlargement of a portion of the first menu field to allow an operator to access both the respective regeneration level concerned and its To obtain regeneration zones.
