Description

  • The present invention relates to a cooking device comprising a water tank.
  • In ovens, the cooking process is generally performed by operating the heaters and the fan in the cooking cavity at the same time. The hot air heated by the heaters disposed on the ceiling, the base or the rear wall of the cooking cavity is distributed into the cooking cavity by means of the fan. In cooking devices which have the steam cooking function, the steam cooking is performed by delivering the steam obtained from the water heated in the steam generator to the cooking cavity. By means of steam cooking, the foodstuffs are prevented from losing water during cooking, thus providing a homogeneous cooking process with higher quality. The user fills in water into a receptacle provided in the cooking devices with the steam cooking function. The water is taken from the receptacle by means of a delivery line and delivered to the steam generator. By means of the steam generator, the water is delivered into the cooking cavity as steam. Consequently, the steam cooking process is performed. The water is drawn from the water receptacle generally by means of a hose and delivered to the steam generator. However, the hose connected to the water tank gets loose or dislodges in the course of time due to suction and pumping pressure. This causes the water to scatter around while the water is sucked from the water tank or delivered to the water tank. Moreover, this adversely affects the operating performance of the cooking device and results in safety problems.
  • In documents WO 2017/116352 A1 , EP 3 339 76 A1 and EP1909038 , cooking devices are disclosed, comprising a steam generator.
