A method for estimating the temperature of a laundry load in a treating chamber of a laundry dryer.

Fabric temperature estimation for a laundry dryer

A domestic oven comprises heating means, a gas sensor connected to a central processing and control unit and a user interface connected to the central processing unit by means of which the user can set the type of food placed in the oven compartment. The user interface comprises means for setting the desired degree of cooking of the food and is capable of processing the signal of the gas sensor in such a way as to determine the optimal cooking end time of the food. The central processing unit interrupts the electrical supply to the heating means on the basis either of said cooking end time, modified if necessary on the basis of degree of cooking set by the user, or of the food type set by the user.

Domestic oven and cooking process that uses the same

A cooking method which provides optimized cooking results when starting the cooking process at ambient temperature and that is applicable to the majority of the food categories.

Cooking method

A method for controlling the humidity level in a cavity of a cooking oven provided with a steam generator comprises the monitoring of the power delivered to the steam generator in order to maintain the power to a predetermined value that is correlated to a choice made by the user among a plurality of predetermined values corresponding to different values of at least one cooking parameter, particularly the degree of browning of the food.

Method for controlling the humidity level in a cooking oven

A method for automatically controlling the heating/cooking of a food item in a cooking oven having a door, heaters and an oven temperature acquisition system, comprising the steps of measuring the total electrical power (P) absorbed by the oven, measuring the oven temperature, and assessing the actual power (P) transferred to the food item by automatically compensating disturbance factors. A cooking oven is also disclosed.

Process for automatically controlling the heating/cooking of a food item in a cooking oven and cooking oven adapted to carry out such process

The present invention relates to an apparatus to measure water level in a water reservoir by measuring electrical conductivity between electrodes, including a reference electrode, at least one measuring electrode projecting into the water reservoir, and at least one electronic detection circuit to detect a presence of water based on the conductivity measurement.
