Wall-mounted microwave oven

Abstract

A wall-mounted microwave oven having an enhanced blowing capability. The wall-mounted microwave oven includes a cabinet which defines an external appearance of the microwave oven and an exhaust fan unit. An internal duct is provided in the cabinet. An external duct is installed at a predetermined position outside the cabinet so as to communicate with the internal duct. The exhaust fan unit is installed in the external duct and generates a blowing force which discharges contaminated indoor air to the outside of the microwave oven through the internal and external ducts. The wall-mounted microwave oven having such a construction allows a large-capacity exhaust fan and a large-capacity fan motor to be used without increasing the size of the cabinet. Additionally, a capacity of a cooking chamber can be increased without increasing the size of the cabinet.
