Abstract:
System for warming up and/or cooking food, comprising: a frame (10); operating means (30) for heating an active zone (A) defined within the volume delimited by said frame (10); an emitter device (20) for irradiating said active zone (A) with incident microwaves; a detector device (25) for detecting corresponding radiations coming from said active zone (A); a first transmission unit (40) associated with at least said detector device (25) and configured for sending first data (Dl), representative of said corresponding radiations, to a processing unit (50).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a washing/drying machine equipped with a system to prevent the drying air filter ( 26 ) from being clogged by the filaments coming off garments during the washing/drying cycle. To this aim, a cleaning device (30) is provided at the filter location, said filter having nozzles (31) spraying water against the filter (26) to remove the filaments that have built up thereon.
Abstract:
A method is described for controlling a freezing phase in a refrigeration appliance of the single-control combined type, said refrigeration appliance comprising at least one refrigerator compartment, at least one freezer compartment, a single compressor, a temperature sensor detecting only the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, a temperature sensor detecting the temperature of the evaporator of the refrigeration circuit, a fan, the method being characterized in that it comprises the steps of: - activating said freezing phase; - the compressor is consequently turned on (Cps=on); - if the temperature in the refrigerator compartment Tfg > T5, then said fan is turned on (Fz fan = ON); when said temperature in the refrigerator compartment Tfg T2, and Tfg T4 > T2 > Tl; - deactivating said freezing phase after a given time has elapsed following said activation.
Abstract:
A dishwashing machine has a washtub, housed in which are one or more dish racks, wherein a dish rack (7) has a structure formed with metal rods (7a) that generally criss-cross one another, which includes at least one first series of first supports (11, 12) that are generally aligned and set at a distance from one another and rise with respect to a bottom (B) of the structure of the dish rack (7), where between adjacent supports (11, 12) of the first series there can be received plates that have to be held in a generally upright position and separated from one another, the machine further comprising at least one dish-holding accessory (20), which can be positioned in a removable way within the structure of the dish rack (7). The accessory is a plate-holder accessory (20) having a respective structure that includes a second series of second supports (21) generally aligned in a longitudinal direction of the accessory (20), wherein the distance between the second supports (21) is greater than the distance between the supports (11, 12) of the at least one first series, the second supports (21) rising with respect to a resting base (22) of the accessory (20), where between adjacent supports (21) of the second series there can be received plates (100, 101) that have to be held in a generally upright position and separated from one another.
