Patent number: 10237925Abstract: A cooking appliance apparatus includes an inductor, an inverter to supply a high-frequency heating current for the inductor, and a switch to break and/or establish at least one conduction path between the at least one inverter and the at least one inductor. A control unit is provided to deactivate the inverter during a first time interval and to initiate a switching of the switch, with the switching starting and ending within a second time interval, which in a normal operating state is arranged within the at least one first time interval and which in an incorrect operating state has at least one time point, which lies outside the at least one first time interval. The control unit is configured to match the first time interval and the second time interval dynamically to one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Daniel Anton Falcon, Alvaro Cortes Blanco, Oscar Garcia-Izquierdo Gango, Paul Muresan, Ramon Peinado Adiego, Diego Puyal Puente
