Cooking device with a component that heats up during operation and a cooling fan and method for cooling a component of a cooking device that heats up during operation

摘要

The cooking device i.e. microwave oven (1), has a cooling air blower (13) for cooling a circuit carrier (11) and a power semiconductor component (12) that are heated during operation of the cooking device. The circuit carrier and the semiconductor component are temporarily cooled by a Peltier element (14) in after-run-time of the cooling air blower in an operating mode. The Peltier element is connected with a control unit (15). The Peltier element is arranged electrically isolated from the circuit carrier and the semiconductor component. An independent claim is also included for a method for cooling a circuit carrier and a power semiconductor component of a cooking device.
