Abstract (en)

A microwave oven and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. The microwave oven includes a mechanical timer serving to set desired cooking time and to supply power, and a control unit to automatically perform electrical control for cooking operation by receiving power by operation of the mechanical timer. The microwave oven has a relatively low price through proper application of electrical control to the mechanical timer, and can be precisely controlled. The microwave oven also can solve a problem of inrush current at a power-on point through electrical control without an additional device for preventing inrush current.
