An electric toaster oven for use both as a toaster and as an oven, including a heater or heaters for heating an article placed in a baking chamber, a baked condition detector which detects the baked condition of the article through the detection of the heat radiated from the article, a plate forming part of the wall of the baking chamber and having a heat guide opening for transferring the heat radiated from the article therethrough to the baked condition detector, a tubular guide for guiding the heat to the baked condition detector, and a control circuit which controls supplying current to the heater or heaters on the basis of a detection signal provided by the baked condition detector. The baked condition detector includes a pair of thermosensitive elements disposed in different thermal conditions, respectively, and provides a signal corresponding to the difference between the respective temperature-dependent output signals of the thermosensitive elements. The heat guide opening is opened only when the electric toaster oven is used as a toaster, or the baked condition detector is placed opposite to the heat guide opening only when the electric toaster oven is used as a toaster.

The subject lamp wick equipment for a combustion apparatus comprises a cylindrical lamp wick, cylindrical lamp wick holder and cylindrical auxiliary lamp wick holder. The peripheral wall of the lamp wick is provided with openings. The auxiliary lamp wick holder is fitted around the lamp wick, and comprises engagement holes formed at that spots of the peripheral wall of the auxiliary lamp wick holder which face the openings. The cylindrical lamp wick holder is fitted around the cylindrical auxiliary lamp wick holder. The engagement pawls of the lamp wick holder are so elastically urged as to project thereinto. When the lamp wick is fitted into the auxiliary lamp wick holder, which in turn is fitted into the lamp wick holder, then the engagement pawls of the lamp wick holder project into the engagement holes of the auxiliary lamp wick holder and the openings of the lamp wick, thereby preventing the lengthwise relative movement of the lamp wick and lamp wick holder. The lamp wick is taken off the lamp wick holder by the lamp wick-removing device. This lamp wick-removing device comprises a pair of legs insertible between the lamp wick holder and auxiliary lamp wick holder. Said insertion of the paired legs causes the engagement pawls to be retracted from the engagement holes of the auxiliary lamp wick holder and the openings of the lamp wick, thereby assuring the disengagement of the lamp wick from the lamp wick holder.
