An electronic control system (10) for use in conjunction with electrical appliances such as conventional ovens, toaster ovens, microwave ovens, and the like, and with laundering apparatus such as washers, dryers, ironers, and the like, and in conjunction with other electrically energized appliances. The control system (14) of the invention utilizes a compressed code number which is imprinted, for example, on the food packages, or on lables attached to the articles to be laundered, and the appliances include electronic circuitry which is constructed to respond to the entry of the code number imprinted on the packages or labels for automatically programming the appliance to the correct time/temperature profile for the particular food or other article. The system of the invention may be activated by a manual keyboard (20, 24) by which the user enters the particular number into the control system. Alternatively, a barcode reader may be incorporated into the control system which responds to bar codes imprinted on the food packages or labels of the articles to be laundered.
