COOKING APPLIANCE WITH AN AUXILIARY HEATING ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/212917
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A cooking appliance (10) includes a body (12) that defines a cooking cavity (14), a first electrical connection feature (16) coupled to the body (12), an auxiliary heating element (18), and a second electrical connection feature (20) coupled to the auxiliary heating element (18). The auxiliary heating element (18) is operable between a use position and a removed position. In the use position, the auxiliary heating element (18) is positioned within the cooking cavity (14). In the removed position, the auxiliary heating element (18) is positioned outside of the cooking cavity (14). The second electrical connection feature (20) is operable to move relative to the auxiliary heating element (18) between engaged and disengaged positions. Contact between the first electrical connection feature (16) and the second electrical connection feature (20) as the auxiliary heating element (18) enters the use position causes the second electrical connection feature (20) to enter the engaged position.
