摘要

A cooking appliance is disclosed. The cooking appliance includes an electric heater for heating an object to be cooked, a mechanical manipulation unit connected to the electric heater for allowing a user to input primary ON/OFF of the electric heater and power of the electric heater, a normal open type DC relay connected to the manipulation unit, and a controller for controlling the DC relay to control secondary ON/OFF of the electric heater based on sensing of a primary ON state of the electric heater by the manipulation unit (a state in which the manipulation unit is operated).

主权项

1. A cooking appliance comprising:
an electric heater configured to generate heat for cooking; a mechanical manipulation unit that is electrically connected to the electric heater, the mechanical manipulation unit being configured to be manipulated by a user to control a primary ON/OFF state and a power level of the electric heater; a normally open type DC relay that is electrically connected to the mechanical manipulation unit; and a controller that is configured to, based on the mechanical manipulation unit controlling the electric heater to be in the primary ON state, control a secondary ON/OFF state of the electric heater via the DC relay, wherein the electric heater is configured to be activated based on both the primary and secondary states being controlled to be ON.
