  • Patent number: 6828533
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microwave heating device, and in particular, a microwave heating device with a microwave heating element mounted on the surface of a heating dish on which food is placed inside a heating chamber. The microwave heating device according to the present invention includes a heating chamber for placing an object to be heated; a magnetron for generating microwaves; a waveguide for supplying the microwaves generated by the magnetron through the bottom of the heating chamber; a heating dish on which the object to be heated is placed; a microwave heating element positioned on the bottom surface of the heating dish to generate heat by absorbing microwaves; and an access passage for allowing the microwaves supplied by the waveguide to reach above the heating dish from below the heating dish. The object on the heating dish is heated by the heating dish, which is heated by the microwave heating element and by microwaves that reach above the heating dish.

  • Patent number: 6329646
    Abstract: A microwave oven is installed above a cooking counter such as a kitchen stove counter. The microwave oven has its housing covered by an oven case, and incorporates a fan. By driving the fan, the microwave oven can have the hot air generated at the cooking counter inhaled from beneath the oven case and discharged from a front opening. The front opening is formed at the front face of the oven case. An operation display device is provided at the front face of the oven case. By one operation of a predetermined key on the operation display device, the drive of the fan is initiated and then automatically terminated at an elapse of a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes).

  • Patent number: 6242725
    Abstract: When a hood fan of a microwave oven installed at a high place operates, the air below the microwave oven is guided to a prescribed direction. Namely, the microwave oven may be used as a ventilation fan. When manner of setting of the hood fan is changed, the direction of an air outlet of the fan can be changed. When the hood fan exhausts air to the room, the number of rotation of the hood fan is made lower than when the air is exhausted outside the room.
