  • Patent number: 8973568
    Abstract: A gas oven has an oven muffle and a gas burner for said oven muffle. The gas oven has a thermogenerator for generating electrical energy during operation of the gas burner for the purpose of supplying electrical energy to an electrical functional unit, for example for supplying said electrical energy to a fan or a control of the gas oven. In this case, the thermogenerator is designed and arranged to be heated, and for heat to be introduced by the gas burner.

  • Publication number: 20120097047
    Abstract: A heat-storage cooker has at least one heat source and a thermogenerator with a hot side and a cold side for generating electrical energy during operation of the heat source for the purpose of supplying the electrical energy to an electrical functional unit, in particular an electronic control means, of the heat-storage cooker. The hot side is provided close to the heat source with good thermal coupling to the said heat source, and the cold side is routed to the surrounding area, to a baking-oven muffle or to a cooking plate of the heat-storage cooker. Therefore, an electronic control means can be operated even in the case of a heat-storage cooker without an electrical connection.

  • Publication number: 20120097148
    Abstract: A gas burner for a gas cooktop has a gas burner body with gas outlet openings. A thermogenerator is arranged above the gas burner body, advantageously arranged concentrically relative to said gas burner body and with the same shape and size, wherein the thermogenerator is heated by said gas burner body. The thermogenerator bears against a cooler pot base by way of its upper face. The thermogenerator generates electrical energy which is used to operate a control of the gas cooktop and which can be stored.

  • Publication number: 20110294078
    Abstract: With a method for controlling a gas burner, the latter is supplied with gas by an electronically controllable gas valve, wherein it is supplied with gas by the gas valve in a low power range and in a high power range. Only one of the power ranges is available at any point in time, wherein in each of the power ranges a power from a minimum power to a maximum power can be preset at the gas burner using an operating element. The low power range and the high power range differ here by more than 50%.
