Definitions

• the present invention relates to a container suitable for use in an oven, in particular a steam- assisted oven.
• the water In steam-assisted oven, the water is evaporated by increasing a cooking chamber temperature.
• a container or tank that can be filled with water is utilized in the cooking chamber for evaporation of water. Since the deployment of containers or tanks reduces the available cooking volume in the cooking chamber, water containers are disposed at the specific locations inside the oven. This ensures that sufficient amount of steam is provided to increase the cooking chamber temperature, while maintaining the available cooking volume in the oven.
• WO2019156509A1 relates to a water tank to increase cooking temperature inside the oven.
• Document discloses a control panel which is integrally installed on an upper portion of an oven door; a water tank reception part which is disposed in an upper space of an oven body, corresponding to a portion in which the control panel is located when the oven door is closed; and a water tank entrance/exit through which a steaming water tank is drawn in or out of the water tank reception part and which is disposed on a front panel installed in an upper portion of a cavity of the oven body. Accordingly, the volume of a water tank can be sufficiently ensured without reduction of the volume of the cavity, and the water tank entrance/exit can be hidden behind the oven door so as to enable the oven to have a more sophisticated and higher quality appearance.
• the object of the invention is to ensure the equal distribution of hot air and steam inside the cooking chamber and prevent thermal expansions within the cavity.
• a steam-assisted oven comprising a cavity with a lower wall, an upper wall and a rear wall delimiting a cooking chamber; a fan providing air circulation and a heating element provided in the rear wall of the cavity.
• the oven further comprises a container provided adjacent to the rear wall of the cavity inside the cooking chamber, and supplies the stored water to the cooking chamber through an opening facing the cooking chamber in the form of steam when the heating element is activated in a cooking mode.
• the steam required to raise the temperature in the cooking chamber of the steam-assisted oven is provided by the evaporation of the water poured into the container.
• Use of containers prevent any thermal expansions that may occur as a result of spilling water on the lower wall.
• spilling of water on the lower wall can create lime and sediment, and the use of containers prevents lime and sediment problems on the lower wall. Longer product life is therefore ensured.
• the container and the fan are aligned in the middle of the rear wall. In this way, hot air easily blown into the container by means of the fan, and accelerate the process of feeding the water in the container to the cooking chamber in the form of steam.
• a fan protection plate is provided on the rear wall of the cavity, surrounding the fan and extending a lower edge to the container.
• a fan protection plate is provided on the rear wall of the cavity and surrounding the fan and extending in the container from a lower edge. This way the steam is directed towards the cooking chamber. Thus, regular distribution of steam into the cooking chamber is ensured.
• the folding extension extends into the container in a way that narrows the opening.
• the feeding of steam from the opening of the container to the cooking chamber is facilitated.
• the container is in a U-like form.
• feeding the steam from the container into the cooking chamber is facilitated and the density of the water is increased.
• the height of the container is adjusted at a maximum of 20% compared to the height of the rear wall. It is ensured that the container does not take up much space in the cooking room in terms of height. In this way, it is ensured that the available volume in the cooking chamber is not decreased.
• the width of the container is adjusted at a maximum width of 20% compared to the width of the rear wall. It is ensured that the container does not take up much space in the cooking room in terms of height. In this way, it is ensured that the available volume in the cooking chamber is not decreased.
• a connection element mount the container on the rear wall.
• the container is set at a distance from the bottom wall. In this way, the cooking volume of the cooking chamber is not reduced and water spillage on the lower wall is prevented.

• the cavity (10) comprises a lower wall (12), an upper wall (14) and a rear wall (16).
• a fan (20) is centrally aligned on the rear wall (16) of the cavity (16).
• the fan (20) is defining the turbo fan in the preferred embodiment.
• There is a fan protection plate (50) that surrounds the fan (20) and provides protection from the factors inside the cooking chamber.
• the fan protection plate (50) is mounted on the rear wall (16) of the cavity (10).
• the container (30) is positioned adjacent to the rear wall (16) and at a distance from the bottom wall (12). In the container (30), the water is fed into the cooking chamber in the form of steam so as to increase the temperature inside the oven.
• the container (30) inside the steam-assisted oven is shown from the front.
• the container (30) has a U-like shape and includes a primary wall (34), a secondary wall (38) corresponding to the primary wall (34), and a lower wall (36) connecting the primary wall (34) and the secondary wall (38).
• the water contained in the container (30) is supplied as steam into the cooking chamber with the help of an opening (32).
• the opening (32) extends along the primary and secondary walls (34, 38).
• the opening (32) part extends along a lower edge (52) of the fan protection plate (50).
• the opening (32) is narrowed by a folding extension (54) extending from the lower edge (52) of the fan protection sheet (50) to the rim (32).
• the folding extension (54) the water in the container (30) is directed to the cooking chamber in the form of steam and the water steam is fed regularly.
