1. A method of controlling a cleaning process of a cooking apparatus including a cooking chamber and a temperature sensor to detect a temperature in the cooking chamber, comprising:
controlling a heat source to increase a current temperature in the cooking chamber to a preset first temperature;
controlling the heat source to maintain the preset first temperature in the cooking chamber to burn contaminants in the cooking chamber until a preset first time elapses;
controlling the heat source to automatically increase the maintained preset first temperature in the cooking chamber to a preset second temperature which is higher than the preset first temperature in response to an elapse of the preset first time;
controlling the heat source to maintain the preset second temperature in the cooking chamber to burn contaminants that have not been burned during the preset first time until a preset second time elapses:
controlling the heat source to automatically increase the maintained preset second temperature in the cooking chamber to a preset third temperature which is higher than the preset second temperature in response to an elapse of the preset second time; and
controlling the heat source to maintain the preset third temperature in the cooking chamber to burn contaminants in the cooking chamber that have not been burned during the preset first time and the preset second time until a preset third time elapses.
