Abstract
A control or regulating device of a stove influences (activates, deactivates, controls, regulates) the heat energy of at least one cooking zone of the stove in dependence upon cooking steam. The control device or a sensor device of the control device can be installed at least partly in a fume hood of the stove.
Claims18
In a stove having a cooking field with a number of cooking zones, a controller comprising:
- a control device connected to the cooking zones;
- a common sensor being connected to said control device and being associated with the cooking zones for detecting a level of steam produced at the cooking zones;
- and
- said control device influencing an amount of heat energy produced by the cooking zones in dependence upon the level of cooking steam detected.
In a stove having a cooking field with a number of cooking zones, a controller comprising:
- a control device connected to the cooking zones;
- a common sensor being connected to said control device and being associated with the cooking zones;
- and
- said common sensor automatically detecting one of the cooking zones responsible for producing steam exceeding a prescribed steam value, and said control device limiting heat energy produced by serially and selectively reducing heat energy of the cooking zones.
In a central home electronic system having a stove with a cooking field including a number of cooking zones, a controller comprising:
- a control device connected to the cooking zones and to the central home electronic system;
- a common sensor being connected to said control device and being associated with the cooking zones for detecting a level of steam produced at the cooking zones;
- and
- said control device influencing an amount of heat energy produced by the cooking zones in dependence upon the level of cooking steam detected, said control device controllable through the central home electronic system.
A controller for a stove having a cooking field with a cooking zones, the controller comprising:
- a control device connected to the cooking zones;
- a common sensor being connected to said control device and being associated with the cooking zones for detecting a level of steam produced at the cooking zones;
- and
- said control device influencing an amount of heat energy produced by the cooking zones in dependence upon the level of cooking steam detected.
A method for controlling a stove having a cooking field with a number of cooking zones, which comprises:
- detecting a level of cooking steam produced from the cooking zones with a common sensor;
- controlling the number of cooking zones dependent upon the level of cooking steam detected;
- and
- influending, by a control device, a level of heat energy of the cooking zones in dependence upon the level of cooking steam detected.
