Abstract (en)

Method for operating a cooking appliance, in particular a domestic cooking appliance, including at least one food treatment chamber (2), at least one temperature sensor for sensing the temperature within the food treatment chamber (2), at least one heating element (3, 5, 6) for supplying heating energy into the food treatment chamber (2) and at least one control unit (8) for controlling operation of the cooking appliance, wherein the method includes the following steps:a) Receiving user input including setting of a set temperature value (T<sub>Set</sub>) that is desired to be reached within the food treatment chamber (2);b) Initially supplying heating energy into the food treatment chamber (2) to increase the temperature within the food treatment chamber (2) by controlling the at least one heating element (3, 5, 6) to operate at least at a predetermined first energy output level (P<sub>1</sub>) ;c) Determining whether the temperature within the food treatment chamber (2) reaches an upper temperature threshold (UTT) that is defined above the set temperature value (T<sub>Set</sub>);d) In response to reaching the upper temperature threshold (UTT), selecting a predetermined second energy output level (P<sub>2</sub>) based on a variable parameter dependent on a thermal load present in the food treatment chamber (2);e) Reducing the supply of heating energy into the food treatment chamber (2) such that the temperature within the food treatment chamber (2) decreases by controlling the heating element (3, 5, 6) to operate at the predetermined second energy output level (P<sub>2</sub>).
