Abstract
The invention concerns a gas-heated apparatus, in particular a cooking appliance with at least one glass ceramic cooking surface with a gas heating means of conventional configuration and two mutually independent safety paths for monitoring the electronic control device. The one safety path monitors actuation for each consumer while the other safety path monitors the flow of current through said consumer. The control device can be of a particularly simple structure by virtue of being designed in the form of a digital circuit. The consumers to be monitored are the solenoid valves and/or gas burners.
