Kitchen range having a cooking chamber heated by a gas heating source

Abstract

A kitchen range is provided, including a chassis and having a cooktop accessible at least from a front face of the chassis with at least one cooking place and with a cooking chamber heated by way of a gas heating source, and with an exhaust pipe for guiding the exhaust gas of the gas heating source to a gas outlet, wherein a cooling device surrounds the exhaust pipe and wherein the gas outlet is provided in a back region of the chassis at a guard unit disposed at the chassis. The guard unit includes a front guard wall oriented toward the front face of the chassis and a back guard wall oriented toward the back region of the chassis. The guard unit extends upwardly beyond the cooktop and the gas outlet is disposed at the guard wall of the guard unit oriented forwardly in the direction of the cooktop.

1 . A kitchen range, comprising: a chassis and having a cooktop accessible at least from a front face of the chassis with at least one cooking place and with a cooking chamber heated by way of at least one gas heating source; and with at least one exhaust pipe for guiding the exhaust gas of the gas heating source to a gas outlet;
 wherein a cooling device surrounds at least part of the exhaust pipe;   wherein the gas outlet is provided in a back region of the chassis at a guard unit disposed at the chassis;   wherein the guard unit comprises at least one front guard wall oriented toward the front face of the chassis, and a back guard wall oriented toward the back region of the chassis; and   the guard unit extends upwardly beyond the cooktop and the gas outlet is disposed at the guard wall of the guard unit oriented forwardly in the direction of the cooktop.   
     
     
         2 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein a back wall of the guard unit substantially forms a continuation of a back face wall of the chassis extending upwardly beyond the cooktop. 
     
     
         3 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein at least one flow restriction is assigned to the gas outlet so that cooling air from the cooling device is admixed to the exhaust gas and a surface touchable from outside of the guard unit is kept cooler. 
     
     
         4 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the guard unit shows a height above the cooktop of at least 8 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the guard unit amounts to a height above the cooktop of at least 16 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the gas outlet is disposed at least 4 inches beneath the top edge of the guard unit. 
     
     
         7 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the gas outlet is disposed at least 3 inches above the cooktop. 
     
     
         8 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the gas outlet is distanced further from the top end of the guard unit than from the cooktop. 
     
     
         9 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the guard unit comprises a top cover wall which is substantially closed. 
     
     
         10 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein two exhaust pipes laterally spaced apart from one another are inserted in the guard unit. 
     
     
         11 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the exhaust pipe is provided with at least one inlet port for cooling air of the cooling device distanced from the gas outlet. 
     
     
         12 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the cooling device surrounds the exhaust pipe over at least a longitudinal section over at least approximately half and in particular at least substantially the entire circumference. 
     
     
         13 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the cooling device comprises at least one cooling channel which is at least partially formed by the exhaust pipe and the outer walls of the guard unit. 
     
     
         14 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the cooling device is configured for cooling the guard unit such that even in pyrolysis operation any visible, external stainless steel surfaces of the guard unit do not discolor due to the temperature. 
     
     
         15 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the gas outlet is provided with at least one baffle plate. 
     
     
         16 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein at least the back face of the guard unit is provided with an additional cooling channel to which further cooling air is admixed. 
     
     
         17 . The kitchen range according to  claim 1  wherein the gas outlet of the guard unit is provided with at least one air outlet for cooling air. 
     
     
         18 . The kitchen range according to  claim 17  wherein the gas outlet is followed by at least one air outlet for cooling air in upwardly and downwardly exhaust gas outlet regions.
