  • a heating cooking apparatus includes: the heating chamber 13; the reading device 16 configured to read an information code (setting information change code); and the setting information change unit 27 configured to change various types setting information used to perform heating cooking in the main body of the heating cooking apparatus 1, in which the information code (setting information change code) includes setting change information for changing at least two types of the setting information, and the setting information change unit 27 changes the at least two types of the setting information based on the setting change information included in the single information code (setting information change code) read by the reading device 16.
  • the information code setting information change code
  • the setting information change unit 27 changes the at least two types of the setting information based on the setting change information included in the single information code (setting information change code) read by the reading device 16.
  • the information code includes setting change information for changing at least two types of various types of setting information used for performing the heating cooking in the heating cooking apparatus main body, so that at least two types of setting information can be changed at once by simply reading the information code. This eliminates the need to change each and every piece of setting information, making it easier and simpler to change various types of setting information for the heating cooking apparatus.
  • the information code (setting information change code) may be printed on a print medium.
  • the information code is printed on a print medium that is paper for example, the information code can be easily read by simply placing a printed surface of the printed object in front of the reading device.
  • the information code (setting information change code) may be displayed on a display unit of a mobile terminal device.
  • the information code can be easily read, by simply placing a display surface of the display unit of the mobile terminal device in front of the reading device, while the information code is being displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal device.
  • the information code (setting information change code) may include information indicating an initial value of each of the various types of setting information.
  • the initial value of each of the various types of setting information can be recognized, by simply making the reading device read the information code.
  • the user can be easily notified of the initial values of various types of setting information, with the initial values displayed or notified vocally.
  • the information code may include change notification information for notifying a user of a change in the setting information.
  • the setting change information may be information for performing setting change on an initial value of output value selection when manual heating is performed in the heating cooking apparatus 1.
