Abstract:
1. A method for controlling an electric cooking oven including a first heating element positioned in an upper area of an oven cavity and a second heating element positioned in a lower area of the oven cavity, the method comprising the steps of: energizing the first and second heating elements during a first preheating phase in which an oven temperature substantially rises from a first temperature to reach a predetermined set point temperature; releasing an overall nominal average power from the first and second heating elements combined; maintaining during the first, preheating phase, a ratio of a nominal average power, defined as a maximum deliverable power of the first heating element times a duty cycle of the first heating element, released by the first heating element to a nominal average power, defined as a maximum deliverable Dower of the second heating element times a duty cycle of the second heating element, released by the second heating element between 1.1 and 1.3 and the overall nominal average power between 1670 and 1900 W.
