If air and/or vapor does not exert any force on the guide device 6, the guide device 6 is transferred or displaced from the open position 7 shown schematically here into a closed position 8 by means of its own weight or the weight force provided by it.

It is also possible and advantageous here for the guide device 6 to be transferred from an open position 7 to a closed position 9 by means of a pivotable door device 424, which is optionally accommodated here on the front side 423 of the upper base body 422. For this purpose, when the door device 424 is pivoted, the door device exerts a force on the guide device 6, so that the guide device 6 is displaced here from the open position into the closed position.

Furthermore, it is possible and advantageous here for the guide device 6 to be transferred from an open position 7 to a closed position 9 by means of an auxiliary element 425, which is optionally accommodated here on the upper base body 422. For this purpose, the auxiliary element 425 exerts a force on the guide device 6 when the lower furniture installation element 410, designed here as a cooking drawer device 200, is displaced, so that the guide device 6 is displaced here from the open position into the closed position. This can be done here e.g. B. when moving the cooking drawer device 200 from the extended position to the retracted position or vice versa.

The optional auxiliary device 425 and the optional pivoting door device 424 are here suitable and designed to temporarily shift the guide device 6 into a closed position 8, so that a pressure provided by the air and / or vapors is at the air outlet opening 5 or on the guide device 6 acting pressure does not exceed a predetermined value.
