Claim:
Method for conducting a cooking program by setting at least one cooking chamber climate in a cooking chamber of a cooking appliance for cooking products introduced into the cooking chamber at various points in time at different cooking levels, wherein different cooking products of different cooking product types can be introduced into the cooking chamber, the method comprising: (a) inputting into an input device of the cooking appliance, at a point in time t 0 , a selected type of cooking product i, a selected cooking product j of the type of cooking product i, and at least one selected cooking level k in the cooking chamber to be loaded with the cooking product j at a point in time t 2 , with t 2 >t 0 , (b)(i) in the event that at the point in time t 0 the cooking chamber is not loaded with cooking product and the cooking appliance is switched on at the point in time t 0 , the method further comprises at least one of: (A) automatically determining a first cooking chamber climate at the point in time t 0 , the first cooking chamber climate determined as a function of all selectable types of a cooking product i, or (B) automatically determining a second cooking chamber climate, at a point in time t 1 with t 0 <t 1 <t 2 , the second cooking chamber climate determined in dependence on the type of cooking product type i and the at least one cooking level k input at the point in time t 0 ; or (b)(ii) in the event that, at the point in time t 0 , the cooking chamber is at least partially loaded with a cooking product other than the selected and input cooking product and the cooking appliance is switched on, the method further comprises at least one of: (A) automatically determining a fourth cooking chamber climate, at the point in time t 0 , the fourth cooking chamber climate determined at least in dependence on the at least partial loading of the cooking levels k with the cooking product j at the point in time t 0 , or (B) automatically determining a fifth cooking chamber climate, at the point in time t 1 with t 0 <t 1 <t 2 , in dependence on the loading at the point in time t 0 and the cooking product j to be loaded in cooking levels k at the point in time t 2 , (c) loading, at the point in time t 2 , the at least one selected cooking level k input at the point in time t 0 with the cooking product j input at the point in time t 0 , (d) automatically setting a third cooking chamber climate, at a point in time t 3 , with t 3 >t 2 , in dependence on the input at the point in time t 0 , and (e) automatically outputting a signal, at a point in time t 4 , with t 4 >t 3 , for removing, from the cooking chamber, the cooking product j loaded at the point in time t 2 .
