Abstract:
1. A built-in domestic appliance comprising: a hinge device that hinges a door to a furniture body of the built-in domestic appliance, with the hinge device being designed to implement an opening and closing movement of the door, during which a gap is formed between one edge of the door and a front of a second furniture body adjacent to the furniture body of the built-in domestic appliance; a sensor device that monitors the gap for a presence of a foreign body and generates a trigger signal based on the monitored presence of the foreign body in the gap; and a blocking device that blocks the hinge device based directly or indirectly on the trigger signal generated by the sensor device based on the presence of the foreign body detected by the sensor device in a direction of movement of the door which would result in a further reduction of the gap.
