Abstract
A control for a thermal oven having a manually settable timer for establishing preselected broiling and baking times. The control includes an alarm and circuitry for sounding the alarm at the end of the timed cooking period. The control further de-energizes the heating elements a short preselected time after the time period set by the user in the event the user does not take affirmative steps in response to the alarm. The control continues to provide a reminder alarm operation at predetermined intervals, such as five-minute intervals, until such time as the user provides the affirmative input to terminate the control operation and reset the system.
