Controlling self-cleaning of cooker involves Controlling start and/or duration of cleaning process depending on optical radiation from light source detected by sensor in oven housing

摘要

The method involves detecting the optical radiation from an illumination source (6) in the cooking chamber using an optical sensor (8) mounted in the oven housing and Controlling the start and/or duration of a cleaning process depending on the optical radiation detected by the sensor. The detected radiation value is compared with stored values and the start and/or duration of cleaning controlled accordingly. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: a cooker with a self-cleaning arrangement.
