Abstract
A control system for a cooking appliance having gas burners is configured to control a speed of one or more cooling fans of the appliance based on information sensed about a position and/or motion of a knob associated with one of the gas burners. The information about the knob position and/or motion may be determined by a rotary monitor and/or any other suitable sensor. In some examples, the control system is further configured to control a gas valve coupled to the burner based on the sensed information about the knob.
