Abstract

A cooking device with a muffle bounding a cooking space, a linear door for closing a muffle opening and a drive device for moving the linear door to open or close the cooking space. In order to increase the operational reliability the cooking device has an anti-trapping device which detects an object outside the muffle opening between the inside of the linear door and a front face of the muffle frame. The anti-trapping device prevents trapping of the object between the linear door and the front face of the muffle frame when the object is detected.
