Abstract: A cooking appliance may include a casing including a cavity and a tank chamber disposed therein, and a door that opens and closes the cavity. A water tank may be configured to be withdrawn from the casing through an entrance of the tank chamber. A panel unit may be disposed in front of the casing at a different height from a height of the door. The panel unit may be moved from a first position in which the panel unit covers the entrance of the tank chamber to a second position in which the panel unit opens the entrance of the tank chamber. The panel unit may be moved from the first position to the second position as an upper end of the panel unit is rotated downward.

Abstract: A cooking appliance may include a cavity configured to accommodate food to be cooked, a heater disposed in the cavity, a thermistor disposed in the cavity and configured to measure a temperature of the cavity, a blowing fan disposed outside the cavity and configured to discharge air from the cavity to a surroundings of the cavity, a circuit breaker disposed outside the cavity and configured to cut off power to the cooking appliance, and a controller configured to control an operation of the cooking appliance. Additionally, a method for controlling the cooking appliance may include operating the blowing fan when the temperature of the cavity reaches a first set temperature, stopping the operation of the blowing fan when the temperature of the cavity increases, and cutting off the power to the cooking appliance when a temperature of the circuit breaker reaches a fourth set temperature.

Abstract: A method for controlling cleaning of a cooking appliance is discussed. The cooking appliance may include a cavity configured to accommodate food to be cooked, the cavity including a panel, a broil heater configured to apply radiant heat to the cavity, and a bake heater configured to heat the panel. Additionally, the method may include selecting a mode including selecting a self-clean mode of the cavity, increasing an internal temperature of the cavity to a set second temperature, and maintaining the internal temperature of the cavity at the second temperature. Further, the increasing the internal temperature may include controlling a temperature increase rate inside the cavity in the increasing the internal temperature by operating the broil heater and the bake heater alternately.
