• and
• an air blower mechanism provided in said box for blowing outside air to the periphery of said heating chamber for cooling, wherein
• said door is pivotably coupled to a lower portion or an upper portion on a front side of said box so as to be opened vertically to said opening,
• a gap having a predetermined space is present at the lower portion or at the upper portion between said box and said door with said door closed,
• said box has an aperture section on a side thereof for introducing the outside air blown by said air blower mechanism into said heating chamber,
• said aperture section is positioned adjacent to said gap on a side surface of said heating chamber, and
