Abstract
A toaster with a housing (2) having at least one slot (3,4) for receiving bread into the toasting cavity, wherein there is a first saturation temperature range for toasting bread in a predetermined slot or number of slots and a second saturation temperature range corresponding to the runaway condition. The toaster is provided with a thermal fuse with an actuation temperature range, the bottom of the range lying above the first range and the top of the range lying below the second range.
Claims7
A toaster with a housing, in which housing there is provided a first cavity for toasting bread and a second cavity, a baffle plate being provided between the first cavity and the second cavity, the housing having at least one slot for receiving bread into the first cavity, which first cavity is provided with heating elements adapted to toast bread in use, wherein there is a first saturation temperature range for toasting bread in a predetermined slot or number of slots and a second saturation temperature range corresponding to a runaway condition, wherein there is a difference in temperature in the second cavity between the first and second saturation temperature ranges, the toaster being provided with a thermal fuse, wherein the thermal fuse has an actuation temperature range, a bottom of the actuation temperature range lying above the first saturation temperature range and a top of the actuation temperature range lying below the second saturation temperature range.
