Grill/convection microwave oven and convection cooking method thereof |
(57) An improved grill/convection microwave oven and a convection cooking method thereof
which are capable of simultaneously operating a convection heater and a grill heater
in the convection cooking mode without using a damper system, for thus reducing the
number of parts of the system, whereby it is possible to reduce the fabrication cost,
which includes a grill heater and convection heater for a cooking operation, a magnetron
for a microwave cooking, a cooking compartment for cooking food therein, a circulation
motor for circulating heat generated by the convection heater, an oven lamp, a turntable
motor, and a fan motor connected parallel with the circulation motor and controlled
by one relay, and an air duct communicating with a cooking compartment air inlet,
so that an air is introduced by the fan motor, and cools the magnetron, and then the
thusly cooled air is introduced into the cooking compartment.
