Abstract
A cooking appliance may include a casing having a cavity and an electric chamber therein, and a door configured to open and close the cavity. A guide duct having an air discharge flow path therein may be disposed in the electric chamber. A cooling fan may be disposed at the guide duct, and be configured to discharge air in the casing forward along the air discharge flow path. A lighting device may be disposed at a position spaced forward from the cooling fan toward the door. A lighting guide with a guide space having an oblong hole shape may be disposed at a center portion of the guide duct, and the lighting device may be disposed in the guide space. Accordingly, the lighting module may emit light to the center portion of the cavity to illuminate uniformly an entire internal space of the cavity. Further, the lighting module may be surrounded by the lighting guide, thereby preventing overheating of the lighting module due to high temperature discharged air flowing through the guide duct.
