Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0878667A2] A pyrolytic self-cleaning oven has a cavity 2 heated by a grill element 4 during a self-cleaning pyrolytic operation, the fumes emitted passing through a porous plug bearing an oxidation catalyst 11 to remove smoke before the gases are vented at outlet 9. The cycling of the element 4 is controlled by an electronic controller 13 which receives a signal from a temperature sensor 15 on the catalytic plug. Thus, when the oven temperature initially rises and volatile substances are vaporised, resulting in an exothermic reaction at the catalyst, the element 4 is switched off. Only when a substantial amount of the volatile soil has been evaporated will the temperature at the oxidation catalyst fall causing the control means 13 to switch the element 4 back on. In this way, the self-cleaning operation is controlled by the temperature of the oxidation catalyst, and the cleaning operation is terminated with reference to either a fixed temperature in the oven having been reached or a fixed temperature differential between the catalyst temperature and the oven temperature having been achieved. <IMAGE>
