Abstract
A microwave oven comprises a thermistor and a gas sensor disposed in an exhaustion duct for detecting an exhaustion air temperature and an exhaustion gas concentration, respectively. A menu selection manual lever is disposed on a control panel for selecting a desired cooking menu. A microwave generation control circuit is correlated with the menu selection manual lever in such a manner that the microwave generation is terminated when the thermistor output reaches a preselected value under the condition where a preselected group of cooking menu is selected through the menu selection manual lever, and the microwave generation is terminated when the gas sensor output reaches a predetermined value under the condition where another group of cooking menu is selected through the menu selection manual lever.
