Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a cooking appliance comprising at least one flat gas burner (105, 106, 107, 108), a cover (104) that closes on top of the flat burner (105, 106, 107, 108), a gas supply line (201) and a first gas circuit (202) supplying gas to the flat burner (105, 106, 107, 108), and at least one ionization flame detector (305, 306, 307, 308) associated with the flat burner and adapted to generate a signal dependent on the presence of a flame at the flat burner. The cooking appliance further comprises cover closure sensing means (212), adapted to output a signal when the cover (104) is closed, and two electrovalves (209, 210) arranged in series and adapted to stop the gas flow towards the flat burner, and further comprising control means (211, 213) operationally connected to the two electrovalves (209, 210) and to the ionization flame detector, and adapted to cause the closing of the two electrovalves (209, 210) depending of the signal received from the ionization flame detector, wherein the control means (213) are also operationally connected to the closure sensing means (212) and are adapted to cause the closing of at least one (210) of the two electrovalves (209, 210) depending of the second signal received from the closure sensing means (212).
