Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Steuerung für ein Gargerät, die zur Durchführung von Garprogrammen ausgestaltet ist, mit einem Auswahlelement zur Auswahl eines Garprogramms, mit einem ersten Eingabeelement zur Eingabe eines Gargrads, mit einer Prozessoreinheit, die einen Parameter des Garprogramms in Abhängigkeit des Gargrads ändert, wobei die Steuerung das Gargerät entsprechend dem Garprogramm mit dem geänderten Parameter steuert, sowie ein entsprechendes Verfahren zum Steuern eines Gargerätes.The present invention relates to a control for a cooking appliance, which is designed to carry out cooking programs, with a selection element for selecting a cooking program, with a first input element for entering a degree of cooking, with a processor unit that changes a parameter of the cooking program depending on the degree of cooking, wherein the controller controls the cooking appliance according to the cooking program with the changed parameter, and a corresponding method for controlling a cooking appliance.

Eine derartige Steuerung ist aus DE 43 18 206 C2 bekannt. Dort ist ein Mikrowellenherd beschrieben, der zur Durchführung von automatischen Kochprogrammen ausgestaltet ist. Diese automatischen Kochprogramme verfügen über eine Funktion einer Gargradeinstellung, in welcher der Benutzer den Gargrad beim Kochen in drei Stufen einstellen kann. Wenn eine Taste "hoch" des Gargradeinstellungstastenbereichs gedrückt wird, wird die Gargradeinstellung verstärkt. Weiterhin wird beim Drücken einer Taste "niedrig" der Gargradeinstellung die Gargradeinstellung abgeschwächt. Wenn keine Tasten gedrückt werden, ist die Gargradeinstellung standardisiert. Dabei braucht der Benutzer lediglich zu entscheiden, ob das Gargut weniger oder stärker als es der voreingestellter Gargrad vorgibt gegart werden soll.Such a control is off DE 43 18 206 C2 known. There is described a microwave oven, which is designed to carry out automatic cooking programs. These automatic cooking programs have a function of a cooking degree setting, in which the user can set the cooking degree during cooking in three stages. When a "high" key of the cooking degree setting key area is pressed, the cooking degree setting is strengthened. Furthermore, the Gargradeinstellung is weakened when you press a button "low" the Gargradeinstellung. If no keys are pressed, the cooking level setting is standardized. The user only needs to decide whether the food to be cooked less or stronger than it pretends the preset cooking degree.

Der Nachteil der in DE 43 18 206 C2 vorgeschlagenen Steuerung liegt zum einen darin, dass für den Gargrad nur drei Stufen wählbar sind. Diese drei Stufen sind oftmals nicht ausreichend, um das von dem Benutzer gewünschte Garergebnis für das verwendete Gargut mit Hilfe des ausgewählten automatischen Garprogramms zu erzielen. Zum anderen wird bei der Gargradeinstellung in DE 43 18 206 C2 lediglich ein Parameter, nämlich die Mikrowellenleistung erhöht bzw. erniedrigt. Auf diese Weise kann der Gargrad und somit das Garergebnis nur bedingt beeinflusst werden.The disadvantage of in DE 43 18 206 C2 proposed control is firstly that only three levels are selectable for the degree of cooking. These three stages are often not sufficient to achieve the desired by the user cooking result for the food to be cooked using the selected automatic cooking program. On the other hand, in the Gargradeinstellung in DE 43 18 206 C2 only one parameter, namely the microwave power increased or decreased. In this way, the degree of cooking and thus the cooking result can only be influenced to a limited extent.

Aus DE 198 32 757 C2 ist ein Gargerät bekannt, bei dem eine Anzahl von Garprogrammen zur Verfügung steht, aus der ein Benutzer ein Garprogramm anwählen kann. Auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung des Gargerätes sind vom Benutzer veränderbare Parameter des Garprogramms anzeigbar, wie beispielsweise Gargutgewicht, Temperatur oder Dauer des Garprogramms. Über Eingabe-Bedienelemente ist es dem Benutzer möglich diese Parameter zu verändern und somit das Garergebnis seinen Wünschen entsprechend zu beeinflussen. Dazu benötigt der Benutzer allerdings Kenntnisse darüber, wie das Garergebnis von diesen Parametern des Garprogramms abhängt.Out DE 198 32 757 C2 a cooking device is known in which a number of cooking programs is available, from which a user can select a cooking program. On a display device of the cooking appliance can be displayed by the user variable parameters of the cooking program, such as Gargutgewicht, temperature or duration of the cooking program. Via input controls, it is possible for the user to change these parameters and thus to influence the cooking result according to his wishes. However, the user needs knowledge about how the cooking result depends on these parameters of the cooking program.

Aus der US 4,580,025 A ist ein Mikrowellengerät bekannt, mit welchem eine Mehrzahl von Zubereitungsvorgängen durchgeführt werden kann. Über eine Eingabeeinheit können unterschiedliche Zubereitungsprogramme ausgewählt und verschiedenste Parameter eingestellt werden. Beispielsweise kann auch ein tatsächliches Gewicht eines Zubereitungsguts festgestellt werden und dieses tatsächliche Gewicht als Parameter für ein spezifisches Zubereitungsprogramm berücksichtigt werden.From the US 4,580,025 A For example, a microwave oven is known with which a plurality of cooking operations can be performed. Via an input unit different preparation programs can be selected and various parameters can be set. For example, an actual weight of a preparation material can also be determined and this actual weight taken into account as a parameter for a specific preparation program.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steuerung für ein Gargerät zur Verfügung zu stellen, die einfach zu handhaben ist und mit der ein verbessertes Garergebnis erzielt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a control for a cooking appliance available that is easy to handle and with an improved cooking result can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Steuerung für ein Gargerät mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 und ein Verfahren zum Steuern des Gargerätes mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 13 gelöst.This object is achieved by a control for a cooking appliance with the features of claim 1 and a method for controlling the cooking appliance with the features of claim 13.

Die Steuerung für ein Gargerät ist zur Durchführung von Garprogrammen ausgestaltet, mit einem Auswahlelement zur Auswahl eines Garprogramms, mit einem ersten Eingabeelement zur Eingabe eines Gargrads, mit einer Prozessoreinheit, die einen Parameter des Garprogramms in Abhängigkeit des Gargrads ändert. Die Steuerung steuert das Gargerät entsprechend dem Garprogramm mit dem geänderten Parameter. Das Garprogramm ist von einer Vielzahl an änderbaren Parametern abhängig, und die Prozessoreinheit bestimmt aus der Vielzahl an Parametern die zu ändernden Parameter in Abhängigkeit des ausgewählten Garprogramms und/oder in Abhängigkeit des eingestellten Gargrads wobei die Prozessoreinheit das Gargutgewicht als Parameter ändert. Insbesondere ändert die Prozessoreinheit die Parameter in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm und/oder dem Gargrad auf unterschiedliche Weise.The control for a cooking appliance is designed to carry out cooking programs, with a selection element for selecting a cooking program, with a first input element for entering a degree of cooking, with a processor unit which changes a parameter of the cooking program as a function of the degree of cooking. The controller controls the cooking appliance according to the cooking program with the changed parameter. The cooking program is dependent on a large number of changeable parameters, and the processor unit determines from the multiplicity of parameters the parameters to be changed depending on the selected cooking program and / or depending on the set cooking degree wherein the processor unit changes the cooking weight as a parameter. In particular, the processor unit changes the parameters depending on the cooking program and / or the degree of cooking in different ways.

Bei dem Verfahren zum Steuern eines Gargerätes, wird ein Garprogramm ausgewählt und für das Garprogramm ein Gargrad eingestellt, in dessen Abhängigkeit ein Parameter des Garprogramms geändert wird. Das Gargerät wird entsprechend dem Garprogramm mit dem geänderten Parameter gesteuert. Das Garprogramm ist von einer Vielzahl an änderbaren Parametern abhängig, und aus der Vielzahl an Parametern sind die zu ändernden Parameter durch das ausgewählte Garprogramm und/oder durch den eingestellten Gargrad bestimmt. Insbesondere werden die Parameter in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm und/oder dem Gargrad auf unterschiedliche Weise geändert. Die Prozessoreinheit ändert als Parameter ein Gargutgewicht.In the method for controlling a cooking appliance, a cooking program is selected and set a cooking degree for the cooking program, depending on a parameter of the cooking program is changed. The cooking appliance is controlled according to the cooking program with the changed parameter. The cooking program is dependent on a variety of changeable parameters, and from the plurality of parameters, the parameters to be changed are determined by the selected cooking program and / or by the set cooking degree. In particular, the parameters are changed in different ways depending on the cooking program and / or the degree of cooking. The processor unit changes as parameter a Gargutgewicht.

Auf diese Weise können bei gleicher Einstellung des Gargrads für unterschiedliche Gerichte verschiedene Parameter der zugeordneten Garprogramme oder gleiche Parameter auf verschiedene Art und Weise geändert werden. Für ein spezielles Gericht können somit durch die Einstellung des Gargrads diejenigen Parameter des Garprogramms gezielt geändert werden, die bei dem eingestellten Gargrad zu einem für das spezielle Gericht optimierten Garergebnis führen. Der Benutzer hat darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass er lediglich den gewünschten Gargrad des Gerichts auszuwählen braucht. Es sind keine spezielle Kenntnisse darüber nötig, wie bestimmte Parameter das Garergebnis beeinflussen. Somit wird bei einfacher Handhabung ein den Wünschen des Benutzers entsprechendes Garergebnis erzielt.In this way, with the same setting of the degree of cooking for different dishes different parameters of the associated cooking programs or the same parameters can be changed in different ways. For a special dish, those parameters of the cooking program can thus be specifically changed by setting the degree of cooking, which lead at the set cooking degree to an optimized for the special dish cooking result. The user has the additional advantage that he only needs to select the desired degree of the court. There is no need for special knowledge about how certain parameters influence the cooking result. Thus, with easy handling, a user's desired cooking result is achieved.

Vorteilhafterweise werden durch die Prozessoreinheit die Parameter für zumindest einen zeitlichen Abschnitt des Garprogramms geändert, insbesondere werden die Parameter für unterschiedliche zeitliche Abschnitte des Garprogramms unterschiedlich geändert. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft für Gerichte, bei deren zugeordnetem Garprogramm für bestimmte zeitliche Abschnitte zumindest ein Parameter variiert, da bei einem solchen Garprogramm mit lediglich einer Einstellung des Gargrads der Parameter für die verschiedenen zeitlichen Abschnitte unterschiedlich geändert werden kann, so dass ein optimales Garergebnis erzielt wird. Darüber hinaus ist es auch möglich, dass für unterschiedliche zeitliche Abschnitte des Garprogramms unterschiedliche Parameter geändert werden.Advantageously, the parameters for at least one temporal section of the cooking program are changed by the processor unit, in particular the parameters are changed differently for different temporal sections of the cooking program. This is particularly advantageous for dishes whose associated cooking program for certain periods of time at least one parameter varies, as in such a Cooking program can be changed differently with only one setting of the degree of cooking of the parameters for the different temporal sections, so that an optimum cooking result is achieved. In addition, it is also possible that different parameters are changed for different temporal sections of the cooking program.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Steuerung ein zweites Eingabeelement zur Eingabe eines Gargutgewichts aufweist, und dass insbesondere die Prozessoreinheit die Parameter abhängig von dem Gargutgewicht ändert. Somit können für unterschiedliche Gargutmengen eines Gerichts Parameter bei dem selben Garprogramm bei gleicher Einstellung des Gargrads unterschiedlich angepasst werden, um das Garergebnis für die jeweilige Gargutmenge zu optimieren.According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the controller has a second input element for inputting a product weight, and in particular that the processor unit changes the parameters depending on the weight of the product to be cooked. Thus, for different amounts of food of a court parameters in the same cooking program with the same setting of the degree of cooking can be adjusted differently to optimize the cooking result for the respective amount of food.

Um den Einstellungsaufwand für den Benutzer gering zu halten, ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die Steuerung eine Speichereinheit zur Speicherung der zu dem Garprogramm zugehörigen geänderten Parameter und/oder des zu dem Garprogramm zugehörigen Gargrads aufweist, so dass die zu dem Garprogramm zugehörigen geänderten Parameter und/oder der eingestellte Gargrad bei Bedarf abgespeichert werden können. Auf diese Weise kann der Benutzer für häufig verwendete Garprogramme die Gargradeinstellung für das von ihm bevorzugte Garergebnis abspeichern, so dass diese bei einem wiederholten Aufruf des Garprogramms voreingestellt ist und eine weitere Anpassung des Gargrads überflüssig wird.In order to keep the setting effort for the user low, it is provided in a preferred embodiment that the control has a memory unit for storing the modified parameters associated with the cooking program and / or the cooking degree associated with the cooking program, so that the changes associated with the cooking program Parameter and / or the set cooking degree can be stored if necessary. In this way, the user can save the Gargradeinstellung for his preferred cooking result for frequently used cooking programs, so that it is preset in a repeated call of the cooking program and a further adjustment of the degree of cooking is unnecessary.

Insbesondere wird durch die Prozessoreinheit als Parameter eine Programmdauer und/oder eine Solltemperatur und/oder eine Heizleistung und/oder eine Betriebsart geändert. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn mehrere Parameter des Garprogramms angepasst werden können, da auf diese Weise ein besonders gutes Garergebnis erzielt werden kann. Besonders gut gelingt dies, wenn die verwendeten Betriebsarten, wie beispielsweise Oberhitze oder Unterhitze für das Garprogramm variiert werden können. Vorteilhafterweise weist die Steuerung eine Anzeigeeinheit zur Anzeige, insbesondere zur numerischen und/oder grafischen Anzeige des Gargrads auf, so dass für den Benutzer die Einstellung des Gargrads sichtbar wird. Dafür ist eine Balkenanzeige besonders gut geeignet, bei der je nach Gargradeinstellung mehr oder weniger viele Lichtfelder beleuchtet werden.In particular, a program duration and / or a desired temperature and / or a heating power and / or a mode of operation is changed by the processor unit as a parameter. It is particularly advantageous if several parameters of the cooking program can be adapted, since in this way a particularly good cooking result can be achieved. This is particularly successful when the operating modes used, such as top heat or bottom heat for the cooking program can be varied. Advantageously, the controller has a display unit for display, in particular for the numerical and / or graphic display of the degree of cooking, so that the setting of the degree of cooking becomes visible to the user. A bar graph is particularly well suited for this, in which, depending on the degree of cooking, more or fewer light fields are illuminated.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das erste Eingabeelement zur Eingabe des Gargrads eine Funktionstaste oder ein Drehschalter ist. Insbesondere weist dieses erste Eingabeelement einen Bit-Generator auf. Auf diese Weise kann der Benutzer den Gargrad leicht einstellen und es ist durch den Bit-Generator eine große Anzahl von Einstellungsstufen für den Gargrad möglich, so dass es dem Benutzer ermöglicht wird, das Garergebnis besonders gut an seine individuellen Wünsche anzupassen.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the first input element for entering the degree of cooking is a function key or a rotary switch.

Furthermore, the control electronics 2 connections to the actuators of the cooking appliance, such as various heating elements or a fan and connections to other input elements or sensors, which are not shown here. The control electronics 2 comprises a processor unit 7 and a memory unit 8. FIG. 2 shows an input field 9 for the control unit 1 of the cooking appliance, with the display unit 3, a selection element 10 with a switch position P for activating an automatic program selection, a rotary switch 11 having a bit generator, a confirmation element 12 for confirming a program selection, a memory button 13 for storing a selected setting, and a weight key 14 for activating an input of a cooking weight. The display unit 3 is divided into a first display area 15, a second display area 16, a third display area 17, and a fourth display area 18.

Ein Benutzer stellt das Auswahlelement 10 auf die Schalterstellung P und aktiviert somit die automatische Programmauswahl. Mit dem Drehschalter 11, der entsprechend der Pfeilrichtungen in Figur 2 in beide Richtungen gedreht werden kann, wählt der Benutzer ein Garprogramm für ein Gericht an, wobei die Bezeichnung des jeweiligen Gerichts in dem ersten Anzeigebereich 15 der Anzeigeeinheit 3 angezeigt wird. Durch Betätigung des Bestätigungselements 12 wird das Garprogramm ausgewählt. Alternativ kann wie in Figur 1 gezeigt ein separates Auswahlelement 4 vorgesehen sein, mit dem ein Garprogramm ausgewählt werden kann. Die zur auswahlstehenden Garprogramme sind typischerweise in der Speichereinheit 8 hinterlegt.A user sets the selector element 10 to the switch position P and thus activates the automatic program selection. With the rotary switch 11, which corresponds to the arrow directions in FIG. 2 can be rotated in both directions, the user selects a cooking program for a dish, wherein the name of the respective court in the first display area 15 of the display unit 3 is displayed. By actuating the confirmation element 12, the cooking program is selected.

Alternatively, as in FIG. 1 shown a separate second input element 6 may be provided, with which the Gargutgewicht can be entered.

Innerhalb einer vorgegebenen Zeitdauer von beispielsweise zehn Sekunden kann der Benutzer nun den von ihm gewünschten Gargrad durch Drehen des Drehschalters 11 einstellen. Dazu wird der Gargrad in dem dritten Anzeigebereich 17 der Anzeigeeinrichtung 3 in Form einer Balkenanzeige angezeigt, bei der je nach Gargradeinstellung angefangen von links nach rechts mehr oder weniger viele Lichtfelder beleuchtet werden. Wird der Drehschalter 11 im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, so wird der Gargrad erhöht und es leuchten mehr Lichtfelder, wird der Drehschalter 11 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, so wird der Gargrad erniedrigt und es leuchten weniger Lichtfelder. Alternativ kann auch eine numerische Anzeige des Gargrads gewählt werden, bei der hohe Zahlen einen hohen Gargrad und niedrige Zahlen einen niedrigen Gargrad kennzeichnen. Der gewählte Gargrad kann durch Betätigen des Bestätigungselements 12 bestätigt und durch Betätigung der Speichertaste 13 abgespeichert werden. Alternativ kann wie in Figur 1 gezeigt ein separates erstes Eingabeelement 5 vorgesehen sein, mit dem der Gargrad eingegeben werden kann. Durch nochmaliges Betätigen des Bestätigungselements 12 kann das Garprogramm gestartet werden.Within a predetermined period of, for example, ten seconds, the user can now set the desired cooking degree by turning the rotary switch 11. For this purpose, the degree of cooking in the third display area 17 of the display device 3 is displayed in the form of a bar display, in which, depending on Gardeninstellung started from left to right more or less many light fields are illuminated. If the rotary switch 11 is rotated clockwise, the degree of cooking is increased and light more light fields, the rotary switch 11 is rotated counterclockwise, the degree of cooking is lowered and there are less light fields. Alternatively, a numerical display of the degree of cooking can be selected in which high numbers indicate a high degree of cooking and low numbers a low degree of cooking. The selected Gargrad can be confirmed by pressing the confirmation element 12 and stored by pressing the memory button 13. Alternatively, as in FIG. 1 shown a separate first input element 5 may be provided, with the degree of cooking can be entered. By pressing the confirmation element 12 again, the cooking program can be started.

Die Reihenfolge der verschiedenen Eingabeschritte durch den Benutzer sind beispielhaft. Es können auch andere Reihenfolgen gewählt werden. Anstelle der Bestätigung der jeweiligen Eingabe durch Betätigen des Bestätigungselements 12 kann auch ein Zeitraum vorgesehen sein, nach dessen Ablauf die Eingabe als bestätigt gilt. Dabei kann der zweite Anzeigebereich 16 der Anzeigeeinrichtung 3 zur Anzeige des jeweils aktiven Eingabeschrittes genutzt werden. Zum Beispiel wird zur Aufforderung der Gargradeinstellung in dem zweiten Anzeigebereich 16 der Text "Gargrad" angezeigt.The order of the various input steps by the user are exemplary. Other orders can also be selected. Instead of confirming the respective input by actuating the confirmation element 12, it is also possible to provide a period of time after which the input is deemed confirmed. In this case, the second display area 16 of the display device 3 can be used to display the respectively active input step. For example, in order to request the cooking degree setting in the second display area 16, the text "cooking degree" is displayed.

Nach Eingabe des Gargrads und des Gargutgewichts werden in der Prozessoreinheit 7 Parameter des ausgewählten Garprogramms geändert. Dabei ist es von dem eingestellten Gargrad und von dem gewählten Gericht und somit von dem ausgewählten Garprogramm abhängig, welche Parameter ausgehend von einer Standardeinstellung geändert werden. Beispielweise wird bei einem ersten Garprogramm als Parameter lediglich entweder eine Programmdauer oder eine Solltemperatur geändert, je nachdem ob das Gargut mehr oder weniger gegart werden soll. Bei einem zweiten Garprogramm werden mehrere Parameter in Abhängigkeit vom eingegebenen Gargrad geändert, wie beispielsweise Programmdauer, Solltemperatur und Heizleistung. Ein weiterer Parameter, der je nach gewähltem Gargrad geändert werden kann, ist eine Betriebsart, wie beispielsweise Oberhitze, Unterhitze, Mikrowelle oder Lichtwellen. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Parameter lediglich für einen zeitlich begrenzten Abschnitt des Garprogramms ausgehend von der Standardeinstellung geändert werden. Beispielsweise wird die Oberhitze in den letzten fünf Minuten des Garprogramms eingeschaltet oder deren Heizleistung erhöht, um eine crosse Oberfläche des Garguts zu erzielen. Je nach Gericht, d.h. je nach ausgewähltem Garprogramm können auch für verschiedene zeitliche Abschnitte des Garprogramms unterschiedliche Parameter ausgehend von der Standardeinstellung geändert werden oder die gleichen Parameter können unterschiedlich geändert werden, um ein optimales Garergebnis zu erzielen. Es kann auch von dem Gargutgewicht abhängen, welche Parameter eines Garprogramms je nach gewähltem Gargrad geändert werden. Des weiteren kann die Änderung des jeweiligen Parameters ebenso von dem Gargutgewicht abhängen. Auch das Gargutgewicht selbst kann als Parameter behandelt werden, der je nach eingestelltem Gargrad ausgehend von dem eingegebenen Gargutgewicht geändert wird.After entering the degree of cooking and the product weight 7 parameters of the selected cooking program are changed in the processor unit. It depends on the set cooking degree and the selected dish and thus on the selected cooking program, which parameters are changed starting from a standard setting. For example, in a first cooking program as a parameter only either a program duration or a set temperature is changed, depending on whether the food is to be cooked more or less. In a second cooking program several parameters are changed depending on the entered cooking degree, such as program duration, set temperature and heat output. Another parameter that can be changed depending on the chosen cooking level is an operating mode such as top heat, bottom heat, microwave or light waves. It is also possible, that the parameters are only changed for a limited period of the cooking program, starting from the standard setting. For example, the top heat is switched on in the last five minutes of the cooking program or increases its heating power to achieve a crosse surface of the food. Depending on the dish, ie depending on the selected cooking program different parameters can be changed for different periods of the cooking program starting from the default setting or the same parameters can be changed differently to achieve an optimal cooking result. It can also depend on the Gargutgewicht, which parameters of a cooking program are changed depending on the selected Gargrad. Furthermore, the change of the respective parameter may also depend on the weight of the product to be cooked. Also, the weight of the food itself can be treated as a parameter, which is changed depending on the set cooking degree, starting from the entered Gargutgewicht.

Die folgende Tabelle zeigt beispielhaft für drei Garprogramme "Programm 1", "Programm 2" und "Programm 3" drei einstellbare Gargrade Gargrad 1", "Gargrad 2" und "Gargrad 3". Als mögliche Parameter, die durch die Eingabe des Gargrads geändert werden können, sind die Programmdauer "D", die Solltemperatur "T", die Heizleistung "L", das Gargutgewicht "G" und die Betriebsart "B" vorgesehen. Die Änderung der einzelnen Parameter hängt wiederum von dem gewählten Garprogramm "PG1", "PG2" oder "PG3", von dem eingestellten Gargrad "GG1", "GG2" oder "GG3" und eventuell von dem eingegebenen Gargutgewicht "G" ab. Programm 1 Programm 2 Programm 3 A1 Programm 3 A2 Programm 3 A3 Gargrad 1 D(PG1, GG1) L(PG2, GG1), B(PG2, GG1) --- --- B(PG3, GG1) Gargrad 2 D(PG1, GG2), T(PG1, GG2) L(PG2, GG2), B(PG2, GG2) D(PG3, GG2) --- T(PG3, GG2, G), B(PG3, GG2) Gargrad 3 B(PG1, GG3) G(PG2, GG3) D(PG3, GG3) T(PG3, GG3) T(PG3, GG3, G), B(PG3, GG3) By way of example, the following table shows three adjustable cooking degrees, "Program 1", "Program 2" and "Program 3", degrees of cooking 1 "," degree of cooking 2 "and" degree of cooking 3. "Possible parameters changed by entering the degree of cooking The program duration "D", the setpoint temperature "T", the heating capacity "L", the weight of the product to be cooked "G" and the operating mode "B" are all provided by the selected cooking program "PG1". "PG2" or "PG3", from the set cooking degree "GG1", "GG2" or "GG3" and possibly from the entered cooking weight "G". Program 1 Program 2 Program 3 A1 Program 3 A2 Program 3 A3 Grade 1 D (PG1, GG1) L (PG2, GG1), B (PG2, GG1) --- --- B (PG3, GG1) Cooking grade 2 D (PG1, GG2), T (PG1, GG2) L (PG2, GG2), B (PG2, GG2) D (PG3, GG2) --- T (PG3, GG2, G), B (PG3, GG2) Grade 3 B (PG1, GG3) G (PG2, GG3) D (PG3, GG3) T (PG3, GG3) T (PG3, GG3, G), B (PG3, GG3)

Bei dem ersten Garprogramm "Programm 1" können beispielsweise als Parameter die Betriebsdauer "D", die Solltemperatur "T" und die Betriebsart "B" ausgehend von einer Standardeinstellung geändert werden. Bei der Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 1" wird als Parameter lediglich die Programmdauer "D(PG1, GG1)" in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG1" und dem Gargrad "GG1" geändert. Bei der Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 2" werden als Parameter die Programmdauer "D(PG1, GG2)" und die Solltemperatur "T(PG1, GG2)" in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG1" und dem Gargrad "GG2" geändert. Bei der Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 3" wird bei dem Garprogramm "Programm 1" als Parameter lediglich die Betriebsart "B(PG1, GG3)" in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG1" und dem Gargrad "GG3" geändert. Die anderen Parameter des Garprogramms "Programm 1" entsprechen jeweils der Standardeinstellung.In the first cooking program "program 1", for example, the operating time "D", the setpoint temperature "T" and the operating mode "B" can be changed as a parameter starting from a standard setting. In the Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 1" is changed as a parameter only the program duration "D (PG1, GG1)" depending on the cooking program "PG1" and the degree of cooking "GG1". In the Gargradeinstellung "degree of cooking 2" as a parameter, the program duration "D (PG1, GG2)" and the setpoint temperature "T (PG1, GG2)" depending on the cooking program "PG1" and the degree of cooking "GG2" changed. In the Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 3" is changed in the cooking program "Program 1" as a parameter only the mode "B (PG1, GG3)" depending on the cooking program "PG1" and the degree of cooking "GG3". The other parameters of the program "Program 1" correspond to the standard setting.

Bei dem zweiten Garprogramm "Programm 2" werden für die Gargradeinstellungen "Gargrad 1" und "Gargrad 2" als Parameter die Heizleistung "L" und die Betriebsart "B" ausgehend von einer Standardeinstellung und in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG2" und dem jeweiligen Gargrad "GG1" bzw. "GG2" geändert. Für die Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 3" wird das Gargutgewicht "G" als Parameter behandelt und ausgehend von dem eingegebenen Gargutgewicht in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG2" und dem Gargrad "GG3" geändert.In the second cooking program "Program 2" for the Gargradeinstellungen "Gargrad 1" and "Gargrad 2" as parameters, the heating power "L" and the mode "B" starting from a default setting and depending on the cooking program "PG2" and the respective Cooking grade "GG1" or "GG2" changed. For the Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 3" Gargutgewicht "G" is treated as a parameter and changed starting from the entered Gargutgewicht depending on the cooking program "PG2" and the degree of cooking "GG3".

Bei dem dritten Garprogramm "Programm 3" können als Parameter die Betriebsdauer "D", die Solltemperatur "T" und die Betriebsart "B" ausgehend von einer Standardeinstellung geändert werden. Das dritte Garprogramm "Programm 3" ist in drei zeitliche Abschnitte "A1", "A2" und "A3" unterteilt. Für jeden der zeitlichen Abschnitte "A1", "A2" und "A3" werden je nach Gargradeinstellung verschiedene Parameter geändert. Bei der Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 1" entsprechen die Parameter für die zeitlichen Abschnitte "A1" und "A2" der Standardeinstellung und für den dritten zeitlichen Abschnitt "A3" wird lediglich die Betriebsart "B(PG3, GG1)" in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG3" und dem Gargrad "GG1" geändert. Bei der Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 2" entsprechen die Parameter nur für den zeitlichen Abschnitt "A2" der Standardeinstellung. Für den zeitlichen Abschnitt "A1" wird die Programmdauer "D(PG3, GG2)" also die Dauer des zeitlichen Abschnitts "A1" selbst in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG3" und dem Gargrad "GG2" geändert. Für den zeitlichen Abschnitt "A3" wird die Solltemperatur "T(PG3, GG2, G)" und die Betriebsart "B(PG3, GG2)" jeweils in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG3" und dem Gargrad "GG2" geändert. Die Änderung der Solltemperatur "T(PG3, GG2, G)" erfolgt darüber hinaus noch in Abhängigkeit von dem Gargutgewicht "G". Bei der Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 3" wird für den zeitlichen Abschnitt "A2" die Solltemperatur "T(PG3, GG3)" und für die zeitlichen Abschnitte "A1" und "A3" die gleichen Parameter wie bei der Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 2" in Abhängigkeit von dem Garprogramm "PG3" und dem Gargrad "GG3" geändert.In the third program "Program 3", the operating time "D", the setpoint temperature "T" and the operating mode "B" can be changed as parameters starting from a standard setting. The third cooking program "program 3" is divided into three time sections "A1", "A2" and "A3". For each of the time periods "A1", "A2" and "A3", different parameters are changed depending on the cooking degree setting. In the cooking degree setting "cooking degree 1", the parameters for the time periods "A1" and "A2" correspond to the standard setting, and for the third time period "A3", only the operating mode "B (PG3, GG1)" is changed depending on the cooking program " PG3 "and the degree of cooking "GG1" changed. For the Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 2" the parameters correspond only to the temporal section "A2" the standard setting. For the time interval "A1", the program duration "D (PG3, GG2)", ie the duration of the time interval "A1" itself, is changed as a function of the cooking program "PG3" and the degree of cooking "GG2". For the time portion "A3", the target temperature "T (PG3, GG2, G)" and the mode "B (PG3, GG2)" are changed depending on the cooking program "PG3" and the cooking degree "GG2", respectively. The change in the setpoint temperature "T (PG3, GG2, G)" is also still in function of the weight of the product "G". For the cooking degree setting "cooking degree 3", the setpoint temperature "T (PG3, GG3)" is used for the time interval "A2" and the same parameters for the time intervals "A1" and "A3" as for the cooking level setting "degree of cooking 2" changed from the cooking program "PG3" and the cooking degree "GG3".

Die Veränderung eines Parameters kann wiederum je nach gewähltem Garprogramm oder je nach eingestelltem Gargrad verschieden sein. D.h. wenn der Parameter beispielsweise in Form einer Funktion, die von dem gewählten Garprogramm und dem eingestellten Gargrad abhängig ist, von der Prozessoreinheit 7 berechnet wird, so kann diese Funktion je nach Garprogramm oder auch je nach Gargrad verschieden sein, z.B. linear oder nicht linear. Somit kann beispielsweise in der obigen Tabelle die Programmdauer "D" für den zeitlichen Abschnitt "A1" des Garprogramms "Programm 3" für die Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 2" auf eine andere Weise bestimmt werden, wie für die Gargradeinstellung "Gargrad 3".The change of a parameter may in turn be different depending on the selected cooking program or depending on the set cooking degree. That is, if the parameter is calculated by the processor unit 7, for example in the form of a function that depends on the selected cooking program and the set cooking level, then this function may differ depending on the cooking program or also depending on the degree of cooking, eg linear or non-linear. Thus, for example, in the above table, the program duration "D" for the time portion "A1" of the cooking program "program 3" for the cooking degree setting "cooking degree 2" can be determined in a different manner than for the cooking degree setting "cooking degree 3".
