Abstract:
A gas burner arrangement ( 1 ) for a gas-cooking appliance ( 10 ), particularly a gas hob ( 10 ), comprising at least one gas burner ( 2 ) adapted to receive a fuel flow from a fuel supply ( 3 ) and for providing a fuel-supplied flame ( 4 ) to a cooking vessel ( 5 ), at least one support ( 6 ) arranged to support the cooking vessel ( 5 ) above the gas burner ( 2 ), particularly above the fuel-supplied flame ( 4 ), a thermocouple ( 7 ) adapted to generate a thermocouple signal ( 8 ) depending on the thermal state of said thermo-couple ( 7 ), and a control unit ( 9 ) connected to the thermocouple ( 7 ), the control unit ( 9 ) being adapted to receive the thermocouple signal ( 8 ) and to process said thermocouple signal ( 8 ) to an output signal, wherein the control unit ( 9 ) is capable of determining if the cooking vessel is placed on the support ( 6 ), particularly above the fuel-supplied flame ( 4 ), dependent on the thermocouple signal ( 8 ).

Claim (Index 14):
A method for determining if a cooking vessel is placed above a fuel-supplied flame provided by a gas burner, comprising:\n a) providing a thermocouple signal from a thermocouple to a control unit, b) comparing thermocouple signal to at least one predetermined set value, c) generating an output signal dependent on the comparison in step b), wherein the output signal is indicative of whether a cooking vessel is placed above the fuel-supplied flame, d) providing said output signal to at least one signal output device.
