ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for programmably controlling a cooking appliance. In addition to PREHEAT, COOK, and HOLD modes, the control is operable in a PROGRAM, SPECIAL PROGRAM and TEST mode. In PROGRAM mode a user sets parameters for a plurality of products. In SPECIAL PROGRAM mode global or system oriented settings are made. In TEST mode, individual components may be tested under operation of a control panel. Data may be logged to record usage for individual components and system information. A door sensor override may be used to turn OFF desired components when a door is open. A vent may be opened to reduce humidity at various programmed times during a COOK cycle or based on sensed parameters (e.g. humidity in the cooking chamber. A speaker may provide alarms that are programmable in volume and frequency for different products or events. Restricted access to different program or test modes is disclosed.
