Abstract: An electronic control for an electric home oven comprises a microprocessor, a panel of function and memory keys used as a keyboard, a working memory of the microprocessor, a learning memory wherein are stored all the parameters of an experimental cooking as it is being executed, except a second modification too close in time to the first, and a permanent memory, outside or not outside the micrprocessor, into which are selectively transferred during a stop in the course of a cooking, on command of the user or automatically, the parameters contained at a given moment in the learning memory.

Abstract: An oven, particularly a household cooking/baking oven which has a pyrolytic-type self-cleaning mode of operation, is provided with a ventilation system for preventing the temperature of the oven controls, particularly electronic controls, which are provided out near the front on the cabinet, from being subjected to too high, possibly or probably degrading or disabling temperatures, e.g. while the pyrolytic self-cleaning operation is taking place. In particular, a forced air ducting system is provided between the exterior of the oven cavity and the interior of the oven cabinet. The fresh air intake for this system is interposed between the controls and the exhaust, in such a way as to bathe much of the peripheric of the controls with cool air.
