Abstract

An electric oven with an oven muffle which can be closed by a door and in which a cooking-product support can be held on a holder element. The cooking-product support has its own cooking-product support heater element, and via a power supply element, the cooking-product support heater element can be fed with an electric voltage of the oven, is known. In order to keep the outlay for providing electrical contact for the cooking-product support heater element low, the holder element for the cooking-product support at the same time serves as the power supply conduit or element.

Claims

1. An electric oven, comprising:

an oven muffle defining a cooking space;

a door having an interior surface for closing said oven muffle;

a holder element disposed in said cooking space; and

a cooking-product support supported by said holder element, said cooking-product support having a cooking-product support heater element receiving an electric voltage, said holder element serving as a power supply conduit for delivering the electric voltage to said cooking-product support heater element.

2. The electric oven according to claim 1, wherein said holder element is two hook rails.

3. The electric oven according to claim 1, wherein said holder element is attached to said interior surface of said door.

4. The electric oven according to claim 1, including a door switch and an operating switch both lying in a power supply circuit feeding the electric voltage to said holder element functioning as said power supply conduit.

5. A cooking-product support, comprising:

a frame;

a cooking-product support heater element disposed on said frame; and

a support part extending from said frame for connecting to a holder element of an electric oven for supporting said frame, said support part connected in an electrically conductive manner to said cooking-product support element.

6. A baking sheet, comprising,

a frame;

a cooking-product support heater element disposed on said frame; and

a support part extending from said frame for connecting to a holder element of an electric oven for supporting said frame, said support part connected in an electrically conductive manner to said cooking-product support element.
