Abstract
A gas oven having a gas supplying passage to supply gas to a burner is provided. The gas oven includes an ON/OFF valve to open/close the gas supplying passage, and a flow rate modulating valve connected to the ON/OFF valve in series so as to change the cross-sectional area of a passage, thereby supplying a proper amount of gas to a cooking cavity in response to the change of a cooking area. When a cooking cavity is divided into individual cooking cavities while a divider is mounted, the flow rate modulating valve is open/closed at a smaller opening degree than the maximum operating degree, and thus may be able to prevent a cooking substance from being carbonized in the individual cooking cavities.
Claims14
A gas oven, comprising:
- a body;
- a cooking space formed inside the body;
- an insulated divider attachable to or detachable from the body and configured to divide the cooking space into a first individual cooking space at an upper portion of the body that is insulated from and a second individual cooking space at a lower portion of the body;
- a first burner provided at the first individual cooking space;
- a second burner provided at the second individual cooking space;
- a main gas supply passage configured to supply gas from an outside gas supply source to the first burner and the second burner therethrough;
- a first passage and a second passage diverged from the main gas supply passage to be connected to the first burner and to the second burner, respectively;
- an ON/OFF valve provided at the main gas supply passage to control supply of the gas supplied from the outside gas supply source;
- a first flow rate modulating valve provided at the first passage and configured to control supply of gas flowing through the first passage;
- a second flow rate modulating valve provided at the second passage and configured to control supply of gas flowing through the second passage;
- a main air discharging passage provided at the first individual cooking space and configured to discharge waste gas, generated from the first burner, from the first individual cooking space to outside of the gas oven;
- and
- an auxiliary air discharging passage provided at the second individual cooking space, connected to the main air discharging passage, and configured to discharge waste gas, generated from the second burner, from the second individual cooking space to the outside through the main air discharging passage when the insulated divider is attached to the body.
