Examples and techniques pertaining to avoidance of interference between wireless operation and microwave oven operation are described. A processor configures at least one of a magnetron of a microwave oven or a wireless transceiver of the microwave oven. The processor then controls operations of the magnetron and the wireless transceiver such that wireless communication by the wireless transceiver is not interfered by radiation from the magnetron as a result of the configuring.

A cooking apparatus is provided. The cooking apparatus includes an input panel comprising a plurality of touch buttons, and a processor configured to enter a calibration mode according to a predetermined event, receive a signal corresponding to a test input for a first touch button among the plurality of touch buttons from the input panel in the calibration mode, and adjust a threshold value for identifying whether the first touch button was touched based on the strength of the received signal.

A cooking device including a main body forming a cooking chamber and including a front plate having at least one first hole; a hood coupled to a lower portion of the main body; a fan and a door to open and close the cooking chamber, and including a rear panel having at least one second hole. The main body, the hood, the fan, and the door are configured so that, with the cooking chamber being closed by the door, the fan is operable to draw in air through the hood, and the air drawn in by the fan passes through the at least one first hole and then through the at least one second hole to an inside of the door.

A microwave cooking appliance for increasing visibility into the cooking cavity. The microwave cooking appliance may include a door. The door may include a conductive mesh layer. The door may include a frame supporting the conductive mesh layer. The door may include a conductive and/or sealing engagement between the conductive mesh layer and the frame. The door may include a leak detection device. The leak detection device may be adjacent the conductive and/or sealing engagement. The door may include a user interface display and/or a touch screen.

An RFID tag is provided that transmits and receives a communication signal. The RFID tag includes a base material, antenna patterns provided on the base material, an RFIC package that is a feeding circuit connected to the antenna patterns, and an ignition protection member provided on the base material or the antenna patterns. Moreover, the ignition protection member contains moisture, such that ignition and combustion can be prevented even in a situation where the RFID tag is subjected to high-frequency power for heating a food item while attached to the food item or the like.

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing decorative panels made of flat glass for electronic household appliances, in particular household appliances that are fixed in position. The method comprises, in the specified order, at least the steps of providing a flat glass, producing a blank decorative panel by forming the provided flat glass with at least one of the steps of forming the outer contour of the decorative panel, edge treatment, or making at least one indentation on the operational front, the thermal tempering of the produced blank decorative panel, and applying at least one decorative print on the operational back of the thermally tempered blank decorative panel by means of a digital printing method.

An oven may include a cooking chamber configured to receive a food product, a convective heating system configured to provide heated air into the cooking chamber, a radio frequency (RF) heating system configured to provide RF energy into the cooking chamber using solid state electronic components, and control electronics configured to control the convective heating system and the RF heating system. The control electronics may further control a user interface configured to define one or more control consoles. At least one of the control consoles may enable a user to select a cooking program. The user interface may further provide a single indicator showing a graphical representation of current progress relative to a representation of a full commitment of time to complete the selected cooking program. The single indicator may further provide a selectable operator that is operable to control progress toward completing the selected cooking program.

A monitoring system (10) for a food preparation system (100, 200, 300) comprises a sensor unit 114; 214, 216, 222; 308, 312, 308a, 308b) having at least one sensor to determine current sensor data of food being loaded or unloaded to or from a food processing chamber (102; 236; 302) of the food preparation system (100, 200, 300); a processing unit (1820) to determine current feature data from current sensor data; a classification unit (1840) to determine characteristic data of food (228, 232) being present within the food processing chamber (102; 236; 302) from the current feature data; and a control unit (1860) to control at least on actuator adapted to inform or alert an user or to set processing parameters of the food preparation system (100, 200, 300) based on the determined characteristic data of food being present within the food processing chamber (102; 236; 302).

An oven may include a cooking chamber configured to receive a food product, a convective heating system configured to provide heated air into the cooking chamber, a radio frequency (RF) heating system configured to provide RF energy into the cooking chamber using solid state electronic components, and control electronics configured to control the convective heating system and the RF heating system. The control electronics may further control a user interface configured to define one or more control consoles for providing user inputs to control operation of the oven. The control electronics are configured to enable user selection of a cooking time and a selected RF cooking power, but automatic selection of frequency and phase parameters for application of the RF energy responsive to a learning process.

An oven and a method for controlling an oven are provided. The oven includes a case; a cooking chamber formed inside of the case; and a door installed at one side of the case so as to open and close the cooking chamber. The door includes an outer plate forming an exterior thereof; an inner plate spaced a predetermined distance apart from the outer plate and in contact with the cooking chamber, and a door display disposed between the outer plate and the inner plate so as to display predetermined information on the outer plate.
