Abstract
A method for controlling the temperature of a baking oven having a catalyst, a heating source, an oven chamber temperature sensor, and a catalyst temperature sensor, includes generating an electrical control signal based on a control state, the control state being a function of signals from the electrical sensors and being reached when the catalyst temperature is higher than the oven chamber temperature and the temperature difference between the catalyst temperature and the oven chamber temperature is greater than or equal to a threshold value. The heating source is controlled using the electrical control signal so that the oven chamber temperature is maintained substantially constant.

A method for controlling the temperature of a baking oven including a catalyst, a heating source, an oven chamber temperature sensor, and a catalyst temperature sensor, the method comprising:
- generating a first electrical control signal based on a first control state, the first control state being a function of respective electrical sensor signals from the oven chamber temperature sensor and the catalyst temperature sensor, the first control state being reached when a catalyst temperature is higher than an oven chamber temperature and a temperature difference between the catalyst temperature and the oven chamber temperature is increasing and exceeds a first threshold value;
- and
- controlling the heating source using the first electrical control signal so that the oven chamber temperature is maintained substantially constant.

- controlling the heating source using the first electrical control signal so that the oven chamber temperature is maintained substantially constant;
- and
- generating a second electrical control signal based on a second control state, the second control state being a function of the electrical sensor signals and being reached when the catalyst temperature is higher than the oven chamber temperature, and the temperature difference between the catalyst temperature and the oven chamber temperature is smaller than a second threshold value and was previously greater than the first threshold value.
