Such a device with a gesture detection unit is described in DE 102014 007 172 A1, for example. Gestures for operating another household appliance, such as a hob, can be detected in a room illuminated by a first household appliance, which represents an extractor hood.

  • There is also a risk of injury for a user if a body part approaches the cooking zone. The object can still be on the respective cooking zone and thus pose a hazard when the operating status of the cooking zone is changed or when this cooking zone is switched on. For security reasons, remote commissioning is currently not possible.
  • Appropriate optical signals are provided in the vicinity of control panels of conventional hobs in order to draw attention to the danger that exists as a result of the residual heat or a current cooking level in a cooking zone.

  • the intention to influence can be given, for example, by a stationary object if the absence of a movement of the object within a predetermined time interval is detected as a property. Accordingly, a warning signal can be output if an operating state has changed and, in particular, a cooking level has been set for an inactive cooking zone.
  • the object may not be heat-resistant or even flammable and may pose a potential source of danger when the cooking zone is switched on. In other words, a warning signal can thus be issued by the detected presence of an impermissible object.

  • Cooking vessels, cooking utensils and/or cookware can also be detected based on their shape, for example by detecting a border or even straight lines that differ from biometric features. Depth images can be recorded to support this, in order to be able to determine a three-dimensional shape, for example. If it is recognized on the basis of the feature or the shape that the object is a cooking vessel, a warning can be omitted, especially since a normal cooking process can be assumed for the respective cooking zone.
