  • Patent number: 10240797
    Abstract: A method of operating a cooking zone (2) of a cooking appliance (1). The method includes determining an actual temperature value representative of an actual temperature of an item (6) to be heated; determining a power level (I) set on a user control device (3); and calculating a rectified power level (II) based on the actual temperature value, the actual power level (I) and a preset setpoint temperature. The rectified power level (II) is configured to remove differences between the actual temperature value and setpoint temperature and the rectified power level (II) is indicated on a user display (9, 4).

  • Publication number: 20150374163
    Abstract: A method of operating a domestic cooking hob (1, 3), wherein the cooking hob (1, 3) includes a user control interface (4) adapted to inputting user control information for controlling operation of the cooking hob (1, 3). The cooking hob (1, 3) is operable in a safety locked operational mode. In the safety locked mode, the cooking hob (1, 3) triggers a safety action in case that a person tries to operate the control interface (4) without unlocking the cooking hob (1, 3) or a person comes closer to the cooking hob (1, 3) than a preset distance without unlocking the cooking hob (1, 3).
