Abstract (en)

An oven control comprising input means and a processor for controlling at least first and second oven functions in response to an input signal from the input means is described. The processor is adapted to activate the second oven function in response to user input from the input means whilst the first oven function is in operation. The activation of the second oven function may be conditional on a check that the oven will still be within predetermined operating requirements. This allows a user fine control over any combination of oven features at any point in cooking. A corresponding method is also described. An oven control comprising a plurality of buttons for selecting at least two oven functions, a plurality of indicia associated with the plurality of buttons for indicating whether an oven function can be selected, and a processor for controlling the display of selected ones of the plurality of indicia is also described. The processor is adapted to display indicia of an oven function which can be selected in a first indication state and to display indicia of an oven function which is activated in a second indication state. The different indication states may be different colours.
