Abstract
A cooking appliance including a cooking chamber; a burner including an ignition device configured to ignite gas fuel, the burner being configured to combust the ignited gas fuel to heat an inside of the cooking chamber; a voltage sensor configured to detect a voltage applied to the burner; a current limiting element configured to reduce a current flowing to the burner; a switching element configured to be switched to connect or disconnect the current limiting element from the burner; and a controller configured to, when the detected voltage is greater than a first voltage, control the switching element to connect the current limiting element to the burner.
Claims15
A cooking appliance, comprising:
- a cooking chamber;
- a burner including an ignition device configured to ignite gas fuel, the burner being configured to combust the ignited gas fuel to heat an inside of the cooking chamber;
- a voltage sensor configured to detect a voltage applied to the burner;
- a current limiting element configured to reduce a current flowing to the burner;
- a switching element configured to be switched to connect or disconnect the current limiting element from the burner;
- and
- a controller configured to, when the detected voltage is greater than a first voltage, control the switching element to connect the current limiting element to the burner.
A method of controlling a cooking appliance including a cooking chamber, a burner including an ignition device configured to ignite gas fuel, and the burner being configured to combust the ignited fuel to heat an inside of the cooking chamber, a voltage sensor configured to detect a voltage applied to the burner, a current limiting element configured to reduce a current flowing to the burner, and a switching element configured to be switched to connect or disconnect the current limiting element from the burner, the method comprising:
- detecting the voltage applied to the burner;
- and
- when the detected voltage is greater than or equal to a first voltage, controlling the switching element to connect the current limiting element to the burner.
