Abstract
An oven for cooking and/or defrosting food by recirculating heated air is provided with a temperature control means for measuring the actual internal temperature of the food and switching the oven off when the desired temperature is reached. The control includes a temperature sensing device which is insertable into the food for monitoring the actual internal food temperature and a circuit for monitoring the malfunctioning of the sensing device. The monitoring circuit is incorporated into the temperature control and is capable of switching the oven off when a malfunction is detected. The control circuit is also provided with a bypass circuit to allow the oven to be operated without the temperature sensor.
