Abstract
A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air includes a chamber having an inner cavity configured to receive items to be heated; an electric component room containing electric components, the electric component room being located above an upper wall of the chamber; and an outer case defining at least one passage between the chamber and the outer case through which contaminated air is received and discharged, and through which air for cooling the electric components flows.
Claims20
A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air, the microwave range comprising:
- a chamber having an inner cavity configured to receive items to be heated;
- an electric component room containing electric components, the electric component room being located above an upper wall of the chamber;
- and
- an outer case defining at least one passage between the chamber and the outer case through which contaminated air is received and discharged, and through which air for cooling the electric components flows.
A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air, the microwave range comprising:
- an electric component room located on an upper wall of a chamber and containing a variety of electric components;
- a vent fan assembly that intakes and exhausts contaminated air;
- a cooling fan assembly that provides a flow of air for cooling the electric components;
- a passage through which air flows by driving of the cooling fan assembly and the vent fan assembly;
- and
- a divider that separates the electric component room from the passage.
A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air, the microwave range comprising:
- an air introduction passage for venting, through which contaminated air is introduced by driving of a vent fan assembly;
- an exhaust passage for venting, through which contaminated air is exhausted to outside by driving of the vent fan assembly;
- an air introduction passage for cooling, through which air is introduced for cooling electric components installed in an electric component room by driving of a cooling fan assembly, the electric component room being located on an upper wall of a chamber;
- and
- an exhaust passage for cooling, through which air introduced for cooling the electric components is exhausted to outside by driving of the cooling fan assembly.
