Abstract
A method for monitoring progress of a preheat cycle includes: at a start of a preheat cycle, receiving a baseline temperature measurement from a sensor; during the preheat cycle, receiving a plurality of current temperature measurements from the sensor; repeatedly calculating a progress indicator value for the preheat cycle from a baseline progress indicator value; and when a latest one of the plurality of current temperature measurements is less than an immediate prior one of the plurality of current temperature measurements, setting the baseline temperature measurement to the latest one of the plurality of current temperature measurements and setting the baseline progress indicator value to an immediate prior progress indicator value.
