Abstract
An electric oven with a hood is provided. An opening/closing member selectively opens and closes a hood exhaust passage to physically open or close a hood exhaust port. Thus, contaminated air detrimental to a hood fan can be prevented from being suctioned. Accordingly, a reduction in the suctioning force of the hood fan and contamination thereof can be prevented.
