A cooking device, wherein, when a roast chicken is selected from a menu displayed on an operating part (), a centrifugal fan () is controlled so as to be rotated in forward direction at a high speed to blow out hot air with a speed of 65 km/h or faster from upper blowout ports () and hot air with a speed of 30 km/h or slower from side blowout ports () whereby a roast chicken in a heating chamber () can be cooked at the high speed and, when a sponge cake is selected from the menu, the centrifugal fan () is controlled so as to be rotated in reverse direction at a low speed to blow out hot air with a speed of 30 km/h or slower from the upper blowout ports () and hot air with a speed of 40 km/h or slower from the side blowout ports () whereby a sponge cake in the heating chamber () can be cooked light and fluffy.

Cooking device

A cooking appliance has a configuration that allows the heating item mounting unit of a heating chamber to be pulled out, and that can prevent generation of discharge failure by microwaves, without having to form a slide mechanism with a component or material that has high heat-resistance and fire-resistance. The cooking appliance includes a main unit with a heating chamber, a drawer unit arranged movable in the main unit so as to be pulled out from the heating chamber of the main unit, and a slide rail for moving the drawer unit in the main unit. The slide rail is provided outside the heating chamber.

Cooking appliance

An AC power cord assembled in the plastic-molded bushing unit that has a groove engaged with the edge of an open space which is formed through the wall of the installation base and contains a plurality of electric lines of the AC power cord including the earth line. The bushing unit also provides an earth terminal which is connected to the earth line and integrally formed in and held by the bushing unit. As a result, by externally securing the main unit with a screw, assembly work can be easily and conveniently performed, thus significantly reducing the cost.
