Abstract: A washing machine includes a wash tub (9) in which a predetermined amount of wash liquid is reserved, a heating unit (17) heating the wash liquid, a temperature sensor (45) detecting a temperature of the wash liquid, a drive unit (15) rotating the wash tub (9), and a control device (46) controlling the driving unit (15) so that rotation of the wash tub (9) is controlled. The control device (46) changes a rotating mode of the wash tub (9) according to one of a plurality of temperature ranges to which the temperature of the wash liquid detected by the temperature sensor (45) belongs.

Abstract: A cooking appliance, which automatically toasts bread, and has a heater, a gas sensor, and a thermistor. The gas sensor detects moisture which comes from the bread. The thermistor detects the temperature within the cooking cabinet. A microcomputer measures gas driven from bread during toasting to determine whether the bread was initially frozen or not. The time of gas sensor reading is determined based on an initial temperature within the cooking cabinet so that the decision will not be made inaccurately due to repeated use of the cooking appliance.
