摘要:
A water level sensor (91) is provided in an auxiliary tank (39) whose bottom portion communicates to a bottom portion of a pot (41) for generating steam and which is opened to the atmosphere. When water in the pot (41) keeps boiling and the stop time of a pump (35) reaches a predetermined time (e.g., 60 sec.), the pump (35) is driven for a predetermined time (e.g., 6 sec.) to supply water to the pot (41). This temporarily suppresses the boiling of water in the pot (41), lowering a steam pressure in a space formed by an external circulation passage (60), a heating chamber, and the pot (41). The water level in the auxiliary tank (39) then returns to a normal one, making it possible to correctly detect the water level in the pot (41).

摘要:
A controller monitors water temperature in a pot (41) through a water temperature thermistor in a temperature sensor (48) while a water level sensor is detecting the water level in the pot. When the water temperature in the pot exceeds 110° C., the controller determines that the water level thermistor in the water level sensor (43) cannot perform normal detection, and drives the pump (35) to supply water. When water supply based on the temperature detected by the water temperature thermistor is carried out more than three times, the controller determines that scale has deposited on the water level sensor (43), and notifies a user of a scale cleaning request. In this manner, in the case of detection failure of the water level thermistor, it is possible to notify a scale cleaning request at an appropriate time by determining whether or not the detection failure is attributable to scale deposits.

A heat-cooking apparatus includes blowing means (100) that blows cooling air to an opening (20a) of a heating chamber (20) when a door (11) is opened after steam is supplied to the heating chamber (20) for preparatory operation before heat-cooking or for heat-cooking itself. More specifically, after steam is supplied to the heating chamber (20), when the door (11) is opened, the blowing means (100) drives a conventionally existing cooling fan (101) to suck in cooling air from outside the apparatus, and deflects the cooling air toward the opening (20a) of the heating chamber (20) with a decoration box (102) so that the cooling air is blown to the opening (20a) so as to pass sideways substantially across it. Thus, the cooling air mixes with high-temperature steam that tends to overflow frontward as soon as the door (11) is opened, and thereby lowers the temperature of the steam. This surely prevents the user from being hurt, as by being burnt, with the overflowing steam. Thus, without use of special exhausting means, it is possible to open the door (11) while ensuring the safety of the user even immediately after a heating medium (for example, steam) is supplied to the heating chamber (20).

摘要:
A cover portion (96) for covering an opening of a tank body serving as a water tank is provided with a water receiving section (97) formed of a recess for temporary reception of supplied water, and the water receiving section (97) is provided with mesh-like filters (93a, 93b). Thus, scale or other impurities contained in discharge water derived from a pot of a steam generator and discharged from a drain valve are filtrated by the filters (93a, 93b), by which the discharge water from the pot is recycled as water for steam generation without using any special purification system. Therefore, the number of times of water supply to the water tank can be reduced without using any special purification system.

According to the present invention, an information reproduction device and an information reproduction method are provided, which are capable of reproducing data using temporary management information that is identified by a simple way of specification. In the present invention, the control receives temporary management information identifying information, searches for and reproduces the most suitable one of a plurality of temporary management information, and reproduces data using the temporary management information. Thus, it is possible to obtain contents of an overwritten file as of before the file was overwritten.

A heating cooker includes a steam generator for generating steam for heating cooking, a removable water tank for storing water to be supplied to the steam generator, a pump 35 for supplying water from the water tank to the steam generator, a drain valve 70 for draining water within the steam generator into the water tank, a first timer TM1 which starts counting when water is supplied to the steam generator by the pump 35, and an operation panel 11 including a notification section for notifying of draining the water within the water tank. When the first timer TM1 has counted over a first specified time, the control unit 80 makes the operation panel 11 notify of draining the water within the water tank.

Information recording media 101 and 102 usable for either a first recording density D1 or a second recording density D2 each include a user data area 106 in which user data is to be recorded, a first defect management information area 108 in which first defect management information for managing a defect area in the user data area is to be recorded, and a second defect management information area 109 in which second defect management information having an identical content to that of the first defect management information is to be recorded. The first and second defect management information areas 108 and 109 are located such that angles θ1 and θ2 made by start blocks thereof fulfill the relationships of 150°≦θ1≦210° and 150°≦θ2≦210° (θ1: in the case of the first recording density, and θ2: in the case of the second recording density).

According to the present invention, the size of defect management information is reduced by using a top spare area 102 and middle spare areas 103 in the ascending order of their physical block addresses and spare areas can be expanded more easily by using only the last spare area 104 in the descending order of its physical block addresses.
