The sensor element consists of zirconium dioxide ZrO2. It is surrounded by the
protective tube. The protective tube allows the heated sensor element to be
operated at the required operating temperature and prevents mechanical damage.
The air of the cooking compartment reaches the sensor element through holes in
the protective tube.
The sensor element is composed of several layers in planar technology. The
sensor heating is also integrated in these layers.
