Domestic-appliance heating device
A domestic appliance heating apparatus includes a heating element having two heating connections connected to two supply connections of a supply network, respectively. A first switching element is connected between one of the two heating connections and one of the two supply connections and a second switching element is connected between the other one of the two heating connections and the other one of the two supply connections. A measuring unit has at least one measuring input, at which a potential is present in at least one heating operating state. A control unit interrupts in a network form recognition operating state a conduction path through the heating element by means of the first switching element while the second switching element is closed and takes into account a first potential present at the measuring input when determining a network form present at the heating element.
