Abstract

Disclosed herein are a gas oven and a control method thereof. The control method of the gas oven, that includes a cooking space that is divided into a first cooking space and a second cooking space by a removable divider, a burner that directly heats a cooked object accommodated in the first cooking space, and an auxiliary heater that heats air of the first cooking space, includes performing baking for the first cooking space when a baking mode for the first cooking space is selected among a plurality of cooking modes, wherein the baking may include operating the burner according to the comparison result of a temperature of the first cooking space and a first setting temperature, and operating the auxiliary heater according to the comparison result of the temperature of the first cooking space and a second setting temperature.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A control method of a gas oven that includes a cooking space that is divided into a first cooking space and a second cooking space by a removable divider, a burner that directly heats a cooked object accommodated in the first cooking space, and an auxiliary heater that heats air of the first cooking space, the control method comprising:
performing baking for the first cooking space when a baking mode for the first cooking space is selected among a plurality of cooking modes, wherein the baking for the first cooking space includes:
operating the burner so that a temperature of the first cooking space reaches a first setting temperature, and
operating the auxiliary heater so that the temperature of the first cooking space reaches a second setting temperature higher than the first setting temperature.

2 . The control method according to claim 1 , wherein the operating of the burner includes:
stopping the operating of the burner when the temperature of the first cooking space is the first setting temperature or higher during the operating of the burner, and intermittently operating the burner when the temperature of the first cooking space is lower than the first setting temperature while the operating of the burner is stopped.

3 . The control method according to claim 1 , wherein the operating of the auxiliary heater includes:
stopping the operating of the auxiliary heater when the temperature of the first cooking space is the second setting temperature or higher during the operating of the auxiliary heater, and operating the auxiliary heater when the temperature of the first cooking space is lower than the second setting temperature while the operating of the auxiliary heater is stopped.

4 . The control method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
stopping operating of a convection fan for circulating the air of the first cooking space during the operating of the burner; and
operating the convection fan while the operating of the burner is stopped.

5 . A gas oven comprising:
a cooking space; a divider that is removably provided in the cooking space and divides the cooking space into a first cooking space and a second cooking space; a first burner configured to directly heat a cooked object accommodated in the first cooking space by burning a gaseous fuel; a second burner configure to heat air of the second cooking space by burning the gaseous fuel; an input unit configured to receive a bake-heating command from a user; and
a controller configured to:
operate the first burner in response to the bake-heating command for the first cooking space,
stop the operation of the first burner when a temperature of the first cooking space is a first reference temperature or higher, and
repeat the operation of the first burner and the stopping of the operation of the first burner when the temperature of the first cooking space is lower than the first reference temperature.

6 . The gas oven according to claim 5 , wherein, in response to the bake-heating command for the second cooking space, the controller is configured to stop an operation of the second burner when a temperature of the second cooking space is the first reference temperature or higher, and operate the second burner when the temperature of the second cooking space is lower than the first reference temperature.

7 . The gas oven according to claim 5 , further comprising:
an auxiliary heater configure to heat air of the first cooking space, wherein the controller is configured to supply power to the auxiliary heater when the temperature of the first cooking space is lower than a second reference temperature, and stop the supply of the power to the auxiliary heater when the temperature of the first cooking space is the second reference temperature or higher.

8 . The gas oven according to claim 7 , wherein the second reference temperature is higher than the first reference temperature by 10 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

9 . The gas oven according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a convection fan configured to circulate air of the first cooking space, wherein the controller is configured to stop an operation of the convection fan while the first burner is operating, and operate the convection fan while the operation of the first burner is stopped.

10 . The gas oven according to claim 5 , further comprising:
an auxiliary air supply fan configured to supply air to the first cooking space, wherein the controller is configured to operate the auxiliary air supply fan when the first burner is operating, and stop the operation of the auxiliary air supply fan when the operation of the first burner is stopped.

11 . The gas oven according to claim 10 , wherein, when the second burner is operated during the operation of the auxiliary air supply fan, the controller is configured to reduce a rotational speed of the auxiliary air supply fan.

12 . The gas oven according to claim 10 , wherein, when the temperature of the first cooking space is a predetermined fan protection temperature or higher, the controller is configured to operate the air supply fan.

13 . A control method of a gas oven that includes a cooking space that is divided into a first cooking space and a second cooking space by a removable divider, a first burner that directly heats a cooked object accommodated in the first cooking space, and a second burner that heats air of the second cooking space, the control method comprising:
receiving a bake-heating command from a user; and performing a bake-heating operation of the first cooking space when the bake-heating command for the first cooking space is received, wherein the bake-heating operation of the first cooking space includes:
stopping an operation of the first burner when a temperature of the first cooking space is a first reference temperature or higher, and
repeating the operation of the first burner and the stopping of the operation of the first burner when the temperature of the first cooking space is lower than the first reference temperature.

14 . The control method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
performing a bake-heating operation of the second cooking space when the bake-heating command for the second cooking space is received, wherein the bake-heating operation of the second cooking space includes:
stopping an operation of the second burner when a temperature of the second cooking space is the first reference temperature or higher, and
operating the second burner when the temperature of the second cooking space is lower than the first reference temperature.

15 . The control method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
supplying power to an auxiliary heater for heating air of the first cooking space when the temperature of the first cooking space is lower than a second reference temperature; and stopping the supply of the power to the auxiliary heater when the temperature of the first cooking space is the second reference temperature or higher.

16 . The control method according to claim 15 , wherein the second reference temperature is higher than the first reference temperature by 10 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

17 . The control method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
stopping operation of a convection fan for circulating air of the first cooking space while the first burner is operating; and
operating the convection fan while the operation of the first burner is stopped.

18 . The control method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
operating an auxili
