"Zur Reinigung des Innenraumes lassen sich die Warenauflageflächen herausnehmen. Anschließend können die Verdampfer zur Reinigung des Wannenbodens aufgeklappt werden. In der oberen Position sind die Verdampfer selbsthaltend, so dass der glatte Wannenboden zur Reinigung gut zugänglich ist.
"Der Wannenboden ist nach dem Öffnen der Warenauslage (Liftverdampfer) zugänglich. Zum Öffnen kann die Warenauslage an der Luftausblasdüse hochgezogen werden."
I thought Liftverdampfer might be a typo for Luftverdampfer, but not so. It appears again later in the text:
"8.2 Liftverdampfer
Wenn die Gasdruckfeder, welche den Verdampfer beim Reinigen in der oberen Position halten, durch Verschleiß oder Beschädigung nachlassen und der Verdampfer nicht mehr sicher in der oberen Position gehalten wird, sind diese unverzüglich auszuwechseln."
"Lift evaporator" sounds very strange to me. But I can't think of what the right term is. Any ideas? TIA for any light you can shed on it.

movable/liftable evaporator
The second reference (Wiha-Hakemann) has a nice picture of such a device. In the US patent reference, such things are described as being movable. In fact, since the whole point is being able to lift/move the device in order to clean properly, "movable" or "liftable" evaporator should be fine. The former might imply too much mobility, while the latter ("liftable") gives me a better sense of the fact that it is attached. Or perhaps other adjectives like "pivoting" (an evaporator which can be pivoted upward... assuming the whole thing doesn't lift -- I wouldn't use this expression without a picture).
