Appliance for cooking dishes

Abstract

The present disclosure concerns an appliance for cooking dishes comprising: an oven having a cavity and a door associated with a front surface of the cavity and configured to selectively provide access inside the cavity; a cooking hob defining an upper surface of the appliance; at least one inlet opening provided in said upper surface; at least one outlet opening; a downdraft hood having at least one suction assembly configured to suck the cooking fumes through said at least one inlet opening and to expel them through said outlet opening; a conduit system comprising a cooking fumes path for the sucked fumes to flow between the inlet opening and the outlet opening; a filter arranged in the first cooking fumes path upstream of the suction assembly to filter the sucked cooking fumes; and a liquid collection tray arranged downstream of said filter and upstream of said suction assembly. A characteristic of the appliance is that of comprising an extraction/insertion opening arranged in the front surface of the cavity of the oven so as to be accessible when the door allows access to the cavity, and specially dimensioned to allow the extraction/insertion of the liquid collection tray.
