Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cooking appliance capable of reducing noise generated when a door is closed using a buffer member that is easily fixed to a hinge unit. The cooking appliance includes a main body, a cooking chamber provided to have a front surface opened inside the main body, a door to open and close the cooking chamber, a hinge unit coupled to the main body to rotatably support the door, and a buffer member fixed to the door to buffer an impact generated when the door is closed by contacting the hinge unit when the door is closed.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a main body, a washing tub that is disposed inside the main body and includes an opening formed on a front surface thereof, a door that opens and closes the opening, and a sealing member that seals between the washing tub and the door. The sealing member includes a fixing unit that is fixed to a lower portion of the door, and a sealing unit that extends toward a front side of the washing tub from the fixing unit and is brought into contact with an inner surface of the washing tub.

Abstract: A microwave oven is capable of preventing a door that can be opened from a left side or a right side thereof from being simultaneously opened from both sides thereof. The microwave oven includes a body, a door, and a change device. The door is coupled with the body. The change device allows the door to be opened from both sides thereof. The change device includes a pair of holders, a pair of sliders, and at least one lever. The holders rotate as the door is opened from both sides thereof. The sliders linearly move in cooperation of the holders. The at least one lever restricts the linear movement of the sliders when the door is opened from one side thereof, thereby preventing the door from being open from a remaining side.

Abstract: Disclosed is a microwave oven capable of preventing leakage of microwaves by using a plurality of primary switches, a plurality of secondary switches and a plurality of monitor switches. The primary switches are serially connected with each other, the secondary switches are connected in parallel with each other, and the monitor switches are connected in parallel with each other, so that the microwave oven does not operate if a door of the microwave oven is not completely closed.

Abstract: A microwave oven has a main body including a cooking compartment, and a component compartment in which a heating component is installed. An outer casing encloses the main body. A fan is provided at the component compartment corresponding to the heating component, and blows outside air to cool the heating component. An air inflow part is formed on the outer casing adjacent to the fan and through which the air from the cooling fan flows. A partitioning wall of a round shape separates the cooking compartment and the component compartment, wherein the fan is inclined with respect to the cooking compartment so that the air flowing through the air inflow part is guided toward the heating component along the partitioning wall.

Abstract: A wall-mounted type microwave oven selectively changes a discharging direction of air from a cooking chamber to the outside of a room and to the inside of the room. The microwave oven includes an oven body having a cooking chamber and an electric component compartment, an exhaust flow path which communicates with a lower portion of the oven body and an upper portion of the oven body to exhaust air existing under the oven body to the outside, a ventilation flow path which communicates with the inside of the cooking chamber and a front air outlet to ventilate the cooking chamber, a communicating flow path which is provided in the oven body and allows the exhaust flow path to communicate with the ventilation flow path, and a path-converting device which is provided in the communicating flow path and selectively discharges the air exhausted from the cooking chamber toward either the front air outlet or the exhaust flow path.

Abstract: An over-the-range hood covering a larger space above a gas range to efficiently discharge fumes, oil droplets and odors generated from the gas range to outside of a room is provided, in which a pair of guide rods is included, each of which is coupled to respective side plates of the over-the-range hood by a pivot to be rotated forwardly, and a pair of wing plates rotatably connected to the pair of guide rods respectively by a holding unit. The over-the-range hood enables an amount of odors, fumes and oil droplets diffused into the room to be minimized, thereby maintaining pleasant room air.

Abstract: A wall-mounted microwave oven outputs an air curtain which guides gas and fumes generated from an oven located therebelow to the outside. The wall-mounted microwave oven includes an oven body which is mountable on a wall, a cooking chamber and an electric component compartment which are isolated from each other by a partition plate, an exhaust flow path arranged in the oven body to exhaust the gas and fumes generated from the oven, an exhaust fan which exhausts the gas and fumes introduced into the exhaust flow path to the outside, an air-discharging outlet which is provided at a front and lower portion of the wall-mounted microwave oven and forms the air curtain, and a blower fan which is disposed in the oven body and provides air to the air-discharging outlet. The air curtain guides the gas and fumes toward the exhaust flow path of the wall-mounted microwave oven so as to effectively exhaust the gas and fumes to the outside.
