Abstract
The period of pre-purging is selectively determined for improving the utility. When a main run switch is turned on, it is examined at S1 whether or not the temperature of the oil in a frypot measured with a thermal sensor is not higher than a first setting level. If the oil temperature is not higher than the first setting level, it is examined at S2 whether the post-combustion time exceeds 10 minutes or not. When the post-combustion time exceeds 10 minutes, the pre-purging is carried out at S3 for 80 seconds. When not, the pre-purging is performed at S4 for 5 seconds. Then, the combustion is commenced at S5.
Claims2
A liquid heating cooker comprising;
- a vessel where a cooking liquid is stored;
- means for heating the cooking liquid;
- means for measuring the temperature of the cooking liquid;
- means for controlling the combustion action and non-combustion action of the heating means in response to a measurement of the temperature of the cooking liquid measured by the temperature measuring means wherein the temperature of the cooking liquid is maintained at a predetermined level;
- a blower for supplying air to the heating means;
- a pre-purging means for actuating the blower prior to the combustion action of the heating means;
- and
- a counting means for counting a length of the non-combustion period of the heating means, wherein the controlling means presets a duration of the actuating action of the pre-purging means corresponding to the length of the non-combustion period and when the action of the pre-purging means is requested, determines the duration of the actuating action of the pre-purging means from a length of the preceding non-combustion period counted by the counting means, and actuates the blower for the determined duration.
A liquid heating cooker comprising:
- means for heating the cooking liquid;
- means for measuring the temperature of the cooking liquid;
- means for controlling the combustion action and non-combustion action of the heating means in response to a measurement of the temperature of the cooking liquid measured by the temperature measuring means wherein the temperature of the cooking liquid is maintained at a predetermined level;
- a blower for supplying air to the heating means;
- a pre-purging means for actuating the blower prior to the combustion action of the heating means, wherein the controlling means presets a duration of the actuating action of the pre-purging means corresponding to a declination in the temperature of the cooking liquid and when the action of the pre-purging means is requested, calculates the declination in the temperature of the cooking liquid during the non-combustion action of the heating means and determines the duration of the actuating action of the pre-purging means from the calculated declination in the temperature, and actuates the blower for the determined duration.
