a housing formed with a muffle and a bottom muffle opening;
a lowerable bottom door for selectively closing said muffle opening;
a drive mechanism for lifting said bottom door;
a weight detection device configured to determine a dead-weight loading of said bottom door; and
wherein said weight detection device includes means for detecting a first current load for a load torque as a reference value
for lifting a non-weight loaded bottom door and for storing the value for said first current load, for detecting a second
current value for a load torque required for lifting a weight loaded bottom door, and for comparing the first current value
to the second current value for determining a dead weight loading of the bottom door.
