The expression that an object is intended for a specific function includes the concept that the object satisfies and / or perform this particular function in one or more application and / or operating states.

Likewise, it is proposed that the cooking field has at least one support unit, which has at least one support section to support the fan unit and which at least partially defines the air conduit channel unit. The term "support unit" includes the concept of a unit that in at least one operating state supports and / or supports at least one unit, namely the fan unit, and which absorbs in at least one operating state force the weight of the unit and transmit it to at least one other unit such as a housing unit and / or a support plate. The term "support section" includes the concept of a partial area of the unit of support next to which and / or on which the unit is arranged in at least one operating state. The expression that a unit defines "at least partially" an object includes the concept that the unit defines at least a partial area of the object, where at least another partial area of the object could be defined by at least one other unit different from unit. By way of example, the unit could define the object largely or completely and, advantageously, entirely. Alternatively, the unit could exclusively define a partial area of the object, where at least one other part area different from the part area could be defined by at least one other unit different from the unit. In this way, low component diversity and / or reduced storage can be achieved. Furthermore, a compact and / or great functionality of the construction units used is made possible.

By way of example, at least one section of the support unit adjacent to the support section, which could have at least one plane together with the support section, could delimit the air conduit channel unit towards at least one lower side largely or completely and, advantageously, entirely. The suction opening of the fan unit could be arranged on a side wall of the fan casing unit and the air conducting unit could be arranged laterally next to the fan unit.

The expression that the air conducting unit is arranged "at least in sections" below the fan unit includes the concept that at least a partial area of the air conducting unit is arranged below the fan unit and that at least one other partial area of the air conducting unit could be arranged differently from its arrangement below the fan unit. There is at least one plane that is formed and / or defined and / or laid by the support section and which is arranged between the fan unit and the air duct unit, and below which the air duct unit is arranged in the installed position.Thus, a compact embodiment can be achieved. the sectional arrangement of the air duct unit unit below the unit fan size, a reduced dimension is made possible in a direction oriented parallel to the main extension plane of the support section and / or of the support plate, whereby the air conduit channel unit can be used even in fields of small size cooking.

Furthermore, it is proposed that, in at least one cross-sectional plane, the support unit has an open "U" shaped conformation in a direction opposite to the fan unit and / or downward in the installation position and / or in the direction of the underlying surface in the installed position The plane of the cross section in which the support unit has a "U" shape is oriented approximately or exactly perpendicularly and advantageously exactly perpendicular to the main extension plane of the support section. The term "major extension plane" of an object includes the concept of a plane that is parallel to the largest lateral surface of the smallest imaginary geometric parallelepiped that tightly wraps around the object, and which runs through the center point of the parallelepiped. Thus, an optimal effect can be achieved by a simple geometric embodiment, whereby high efficiency can be made possible, and simple and / or fast and / or cheap manufacturing and / or assembly can also be achieved.

By way of example, the support unit could exclusively present the support section and, in addition to the support section, could only present the walls that delimit the air conduit channel unit.

Likewise, it is proposed that the other support section tends a plane that is arranged on a side opposite the fan unit and / or below and / or directed towards the underlying surface in the installation position, from the plane laid by the section. of support. The plane laid by the other support section and the plane laid by the support sections are oriented approximately or exactly parallel to each other and advantageously exactly parallel. The term "roughly or exactly parallel" includes the concept of the orientation of a direction relative to a reference direction in a plane, where the direction present with respect to the reference direction deviates less than 8 °, advantageously, less than 5 ° and, particularly advantageously, less than 2 °. Thus, an optimal arrangement of the electronics unit with respect to the fan unit can be achieved, thereby ensuring optimum cooling of one or more partial areas of the electronics unit and / or optimal supply of air from cooling to the cooling unit.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the air conduit channel unit has at least one contacting drain, which is intended to house a contacting cable for contacting the electronics unit and which is sealed as soon as possible. to fluids in at least one operating state. The contacting drain is sealed with at least one sealing means in at least one operating state.

By way of example, the contacting drain could be arranged at least partially and, in particular, largely or completely, in the support section and / or in a wall of the support unit that delimits the air conduit channel to an upper and / or upward side and / or to a side facing the fan unit. The contacting drain is arranged largely or completely on a wall of the support unit that laterally delimits the air conduit channel unit and that defines and / or forms at least one leg of the "shaped" shape. U ”of the support unit. In this way, it is possible to achieve a particularly compact embodiment, being able to dispense with a separate cable guide unit, thereby making it possible for there to be little diversity of components and / or reduced storage.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the cooking field has at least one casing unit, within which the fan unit is arranged to a large extent or by complete and which has at least one inlet opening, which is connected in terms of fluids with the suction opening of the fan unit by means of the air conduit channel unit. In at least one operating state, ambient air and / or cooling air enters the housing unit and, approximately or simultaneously simultaneously, into the conductive channel unit through the inlet opening of the housing unit. air. The expression "approximately or exactly simultaneously" includes the concept of with a time distance of 1 s maximum, preferably 0.7 s maximum, advantageously 0.5 s maximum, so particularly advantageous, not more than 0.3 s, preferably not more than 0.1 s, and particularly preferably not more than 0.01 s In a least one operating state, the unit inlet opening The air conduit channel is fluidically connected to the inlet opening of the housing unit and is arranged in an area close to the inlet opening of the housing unit. In at least one operating state, the unit conductive channel connection connects the inlet opening of the housing unit in terms of fluids with the suction opening of the fan unit. The term "housing unit" includes the concept of a unit which in at least the state mounted boundary and / od Partially or completely, at least one housing space is made as a hollow space for housing and / or supporting one or more components. The component could be, for example, at least a heating unit and / or a control unit and / or a power supply unit and / or a user interface and / or a cooling unit and / or an electronics unit. The expression that a housing unit delimits and / or defines "partially or completely" an accommodation space includes the concept that the housing unit delimits and / or defines the accommodation space alone or together with at least one other unit such as with a support plate. The housing unit and the support plate jointly or largely delimit the housing space together. In at least the assembled state, the housing unit largely absorbs or the weight of the components is fully transmitted and / or transmitted to at least one other unit, such as a support plate. Advantageously, the housing unit is made as an outer housing unit and largely defines or completely an external cooking range housing together with the support plate. Thus, a safe arrangement of the fan unit and / or a compact embodiment is made possible. In particular, a conductive unit is not necessary of additional air that is arranged outside the housing unit, making the installation of the cooking range easy for the user.

The inlet opening of the housing unit could be arranged, for example, in large part or entirely in a floor wall of the housing unit which could form and / or define in the installation position a wall of the housing unit. casing directed towards the underlying surface. However, preferably, the inlet opening of the housing unit is arranged largely or entirely on a side wall of the housing unit. The term "side wall" of an object includes the concept of an object wall that, when viewed in at least one plane of the cross section that is oriented approximately or exactly perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the cross section support and / or with respect to the underlying surface in the installation position and / or with respect to the main extension plane of a floor wall of the object and / or with respect to the main extension plane of the support plate, delimit the object in at least one direction that is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the cross section and parallel to the main extension plane of the support section and / or to the underlying surface in the installation position and / or to the main extension plane of a floor wall of the object and / or to the main extension plane of the support plate The side wall of the object has a main extension plane that is oriented roughly or exactly perpendicular to the underlying surface and / or the floor wall of the object. By way of example, the side wall could define and / or shape an outer boundary of the housing unit with respect to the depth direction. The depth direction could be oriented in at least one operating state from an area directed towards the user to an area opposite to the user. Advantageously, the side wall defines an outer boundary of the housing unit with respect to the width direction and a side wall forms an outer boundary of the housing unit with respect to the width direction. The width direction is oriented perpendicular to the depth direction and parallel to the main extension plane of the support section and / or the support plate. In this way, it is possible to conduct ambient air to the suction opening from any area surrounding the cooking field, whereby great flexibility can be achieved. In particular, it is possible to supply an ambient air that does not have impurities that can come out, for example, of a discharge opening of an extractor unit integrated in the cooking range and / or arranged below the cooking range in the position of installation. The suction opening can be connected in terms of fluids with the surrounding area surrounding the cooking field, which is distanced from the surrounding area to which the extractor unit expels impurities and / or suction cooking vapors, thanks to the which is possible to guarantee a high degree of ambient air purity and / or a high hygiene standard and / or a high degree of comfort of use.

The air conducting channel unit could, for example, have exactly one inlet opening. The air conducting unit could be provided to be mounted in a single predetermined position and / or on a single predetermined side of the housing unit. Preferably, the air conduit channel unit has at least one other inlet opening, which is arranged in a final area of the air conduit channel unit opposite the inlet opening of the air conduit channel unit. The air conducting unit is intended to be mounted in at least one predetermined position of at least two predetermined positions and / or on any one predetermined side of at least two sides of the housing unit. The inlet opening and the other inlet opening are arranged in opposite end areas of the air conducting unit and / or the air conducting channel unit with respect to the direction of longitudinal extension of the air conducting unit and / or the air conduit channel unit. The term "direction of longitudinal extension" of an object includes the concept of a direction that is oriented parallel to the longest side of the smallest imaginary geometric parallelepiped that tightly wraps around the object. In this way, great flexibility can be achieved and / or simple and / or quick and / or cheap manufacturing and / or assembly.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the cooking field has at least one boundary unit that supports the support unit in large part or entirely in at least one operating state and which largely or completely defines the conductive channel unit of air together with the support unit. The term "boundary unit" includes the concept of a unit that provides and / or defines and / or conforms at least partially to a delimitation of the air-conducting channel unit and / or of the air-conducting unit. The delimiting unit delimits the air conduit channel unit on a side opposite to the housing unit and / or on its underside in the installation position and defines at least partially, in particular, largely or completely, and advantageously entirely , at least one floor wall delimiting the air duct unit. In the installation position, the support unit is arranged above and advantageously in contact with the delimiter unit. The delimiter unit is made as a support unit stops the support unit and supports the support unit in the installed position. Thus, the boundary unit absorbs the force of the weight of the support unit largely or completely in the pos installation and largely or completely transmits the absorbed weight force to at least one other unit, such as the housing unit and / or the support plate. In at least one operating state, the boundary unit is attached to the housing unit. The boundary unit and / or the housing unit are largely or completely composed of one or more metals and / or one or more metal alloys. Thus, great stability and / or optimal accommodation of the support unit can be achieved.

By way of example, the cooking field could have at least one closing unit that in at least one operating state could close to a large extent or completely the other inlet opening of the air conducting channel unit. However, preferably, it is proposed that the boundary unit close and / or seal the other inlet opening largely or completely. In this way, a compact embodiment can be achieved and / or the diversity of components can be reduced and / or the storage can be reduced. In particular, it is possible to dispense with a separate closing unit, so costs can be low.

Likewise, it is proposed that the support unit be provided to electrically isolate objects, in particular the electronics unit, arranged on the support unit with respect to the delimiter unit. The support unit is composed largely or entirely of at least one insulating material and, advantageously, of at least one plastic. Thus, separate insulation is not necessary and / or electrical short circuits can be prevented.
