Abstract

See full text

A range having an induction cooktop and a conventional oven is disclosed. The power electronics of the induction cooktop can be located remotely with respect to the induction elements such that detrimental effects caused by heat from the oven are mitigated and any service work required greatly simplified. A fan for the power electronics of the induction cooktop can be controlled in a manner that mitigates undesirable noise. Objectionable beat frequencies between two operating induction coils of the cooktop can be mitigated. A single inverter can be used to power multiple induction coils via the use of a switching relay. Thus, a more reliable, less costly, and more user friendly induction cooker can be provided.
