Abstract
A baking oven includes a vapor duct configured to convey vapors generated in the baking oven, and a catalyst disposed in the vapor duct so that the vapors pass through the catalyst. A controller is included, and a humidity sensor is disposed downstream of the catalyst and connected in signal communication with the controller. The humidity sensor is a semiconductor gas sensor. The vapor duct is bounded, in a section of the duct between the catalyst and a location downstream of the semiconductor gas sensor, by an airtight duct wall in a direction transverse to a direction of vapor flow in the vapor duct.
