Abstract
When a cooking apparatus body, such as a microwave oven, is installed in a kitchen cabinet, a power cord connected to a commercial power source from the back of the kitchen cabinet is folded and stored in a storage space provided between a shelf section, which is provided as part of an upper wall of the cooking apparatus body, and a ceiling section of the kitchen cabinet by the rigidity of the power cord. Since the power cord is not caught between a rear wall of the cooking apparatus body and a back wall of the kitchen cabinet, the depth of the cooking apparatus body can be increased.
