1. A method for operating a commercial cooking device having at least one heating device, an air inlet opening to the outside of the cooking device having a main cooling fan next to the air inlet, at least one component that requires cooling in a first space that is directly acted upon by the main cooling fan, and at least one additional component that requires cooling in a second space connected to the first space that is not directly acted upon by the main cooling fan, wherein the cooking device operates with different operating modes, and a pivoting flap between the first space and the second space,
wherein the method comprises the following steps:
activating an operating mode of the cooking device;
establishing and setting, or calculating, at least one temperature limit assigned to the activated operating mode, wherein when said at least one temperature limit is exceeded, cooling is initiated;
determining, or calculating, whether said at least one temperature limit has been exceeded; and
activating the main cooling fan to provide an air flow from the air inlet to said first space when said at least one temperature limit is exceeded, wherein a portion of the air flow is diverted directly into the second space using the pivoting flap to cool the at least one additional component that requires cooling in the second space.
