An image forming apparatus has an image forming unit; a heating rotatable
member; a magnetic flux generator for generating a magnetic flux for
induction heat generation in the heating rotatable member; a controller
for controlling a temperature of the heating rotatable member; a
temperature detector for detecting a temperature of the heating rotatable
member at a predetermined region; magnetic flux confinor for confining
the magnetic flux from the magnetic flux generator in accordance with an
output of the temperature detector; and a moving unit for movement the
magnetic flux confinor between a magnetic-flux-confinement position and a
n on-magnetic-flux-confinement position, wherein when the output of the
temperature detector indicates a temperature outside a predetermined
temperature range, an image forming operation is interrupted, and
executes operation of the moving unit to move the magnetic flux confinor
to the non-magnetic-flux-confinement position and restoring operation to
restore the temperature of the heating rotatable member.
