OVEN AND METHOD OF COOKING THEREWITH BY DETECTING AND COMPENSATING FOR VARIATIONS IN LINE VOLTAGE

摘要

A cooking oven (100) and method which compensates for variations in line voltage so as to achieve uniform cooking results that are independent of line voltage. The method includes providing an oven having a radiant energy source (42) mounted therein, initiating a selected cooking cycle in the oven, measuring the line voltage across the radiant energy source and determining the increase or decrease in the line voltage above or below a predetermined nominal value. An adjusted energization time is determined relative to the predetermined energization time, using the determined increase or decrease in line voltage. The cooking cycle is completed using the adjusted energization time.
