When the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps one output is tapped, the top screen display control unit 62A sets the output corresponding to the touched part as a new output of the manual range menu and displays the list. The display area of unit B4 is returned to the original size, and only the newly set output is displayed there.

Next, the time setting for microwave oven heating will be described. FIG. 8 is a manual range menu displayed in the first menu display area M1 of the first top screen G1 and shows the main display units related to the operation of setting the time of range heating. In the present embodiment, on the first top screen G1 displayed on the display means 6, a UI is provided in advance so that numerical values such as the time for heating the microwave oven can be set by both a slide operation and a tap operation on the touch panel 8. It is incorporated in the top screen display control unit 62A of the display control unit 62.

To increase the value of the set time of range heating displayed on the picker display units B6, B7, B9, the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the picker display units B6, B7, B9 displaying the value to be increased is placed above. You can slide in the direction or tap the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the corresponding upper key display units B11, B12, B13 above the picker display units B6, B7, and B9 that display the numerical value you want to increase. .. On the contrary, in order to reduce the numerical value of the set time of the range heating, the part of the touch panel 8 overlapping the picker display units B6, B7 and B9 displaying the numerical value to be reduced should be slid downward or reduced. The part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the corresponding lower key display units B14, B15, and B16 below the picker display units B6, B7, and B9 that display the numerical values may be tapped. When a slide operation is performed in any case, the numerical items displayed on the picker display units B6, B7, and B9 are moved so as to rotate one or more continuously to increase or decrease according to the operation amount. In the case of a tap operation, the numerical items displayed on the picker display units B6, B7, and B9 are moved so as to rotate one by one to increase or decrease by one tap operation.

This allows the user to freely select which of the slide and tap operations is easier to operate when setting numerical values related to microwave oven control such as microwave oven heating time. Moreover, this is not limited to the setting of numerical values such as time and temperature, and can be similarly applied to the setting from a plurality of items. For example, on the screen related to one menu, the first button display unit that displays "Next" to transition to the next screen and the second button display unit that displays "Back" to transition to the previous screen are displayed. By setting each screen as a plurality of items and tapping the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the button display unit, or by sliding the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the displayed screen, the display control unit can do this. It may be set so that the display can be changed to another screen by accepting a tap operation or a slide operation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 4 extending in the upper horizontal direction of the door 3 is arranged so as not to be located above the display screen of the display means 6. That is, the handle 4 for opening and closing the door 3 is not formed on the upper side of the display means 6 in the vertical direction (up and down), and on the upper side of the display means 6 in the vertical direction, from the flat surface of the display means 6. Do not provide a protruding convex part. As a result, when the user views the microwave oven from diagonally above, the handle 4 does not get in the way and has good visibility. In particular, the user slides the oven range from the bottom to the top on the surface of the display means 6. Occasionally, there is an advantage that a finger or a pen-like object does not hit the handle 4.

Further, the convex handle 4 is not formed not only on the upper side of the display means 6 in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal (left and right) direction of the display means 6. As a result, when the user slides left and right on the surface of the display means 6, the finger or the pen-shaped object does not hit the handle 4.

FIG. 8 shows the first to fourth virtual lines L1 to L4 along each side of the display means 6 having a rectangular outer shape when viewed from the front, but preferably the upper and lower first and second virtual lines. If the convex handle 4 is not arranged between the extension lines of the L1 and L2 and the extension lines of the third and fourth virtual lines L3 and L4 on the left and right, the user can display the display means 6. No matter which direction you slide up, down, left or right on the surface of, your finger or pen-like object will not hit the handle 4. Further, it is preferable that there is no convex portion protruding from the display means 6 between the respective extension lines.

FIG. 9 schematically shows the display operation of the 10-minute digit picker display unit B6 and the 1-minute digit picker display unit B7, both of which rotate like a drum roll. In the present embodiment, the cooking information of the menu of the manual range stored in the all menu storage unit 63 includes the relationship between the output of the range heating and the maximum time. For example, when the output of the range heating is set to 600 W. In order to prevent the maximum time of microwave oven heating from exceeding 20 minutes, the top screen display control unit 62A displays the output stored in the all menu storage unit 63 and the relationship between the time and the first top screen G1. Controls the display of the picker display units B6 and B7.

Specifically, when the numerical value displayed as the text display body D7 on the 1-minute digit picker display unit B7 is "0", the numerical value displayed as the text display body D6 on the 10-minute digit picker display unit B6 is No matter how you slide the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the picker display unit B6, and how you tap the part of the touch panel 8 that is located above and below the picker display unit B6 and overlaps the upper key display unit B11 and the lower key display unit B14. Even if it is operated, the display should be moved only by one of "0", "1", and "2", and the other numerical values should not be displayed.

If the numerical value displayed on the 1-minute digit picker display unit B7 is other than "0" and is any of "1" to "9", the numerical value displayed on the 10-minute digit picker display unit B6 is No matter how you slide the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the picker display unit B6, or tap the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the upper key display unit B11 or the lower key display unit B14, "0", " Make the display move only with one of "1", and do not display other numerical values.

When the numerical value displayed on the 10-minute digit picker display unit B6 is "2", the numerical value displayed on the 1-minute digit picker display unit B7 slides the part of the touch panel 8 that overlaps the picker display unit B7. Even if you operate it, no matter how you tap the part of the touch panel 8 that is located above and below the picker display unit B7 and overlaps the upper key display unit B12 and the lower key display unit B15, the display moves with just "0". Try not to.

Further, when the numerical value displayed on the 10-minute digit picker display unit B6 is "1" or "0" other than "2", the numerical value displayed on the 1-minute digit picker display unit B7 is displayed on the picker display unit B7. When the overlapping touch panel 8 parts are slid and the touch panel 8 parts overlapping the upper key display unit B12 and the lower key display unit B15 are tapped, the display is moved by all of "0" to "9".

In this way, in the present embodiment, when the user sets numerical values such as temperature and time related to the control of the microwave oven from the first top screen G1 displayed on the display means 6, the user receives the operation input from the touch panel 8 and sets the values. When the set value reaches the settable upper limit of the value (for example, 20 minutes), the setting of a higher value is not accepted, and the set value is the settable lower limit of the value (for example, 0 minutes). The top screen display control unit 62A causes the top screen display control unit 62A to loop between the upper limit value and the lower limit value so that the numerical values displayed on the picker display units B6 and B7 do not accept the setting of lower numerical values. It is configured to control the display operation of numerical values on the picker display units B6 and B7 that rotate like a drum roll.

Therefore, when the user sets various numerical values by operating the touch panel 8, for example, when the output of range heating is set to 600 W, the settable time displayed on the picker display units B6 and B7 is naturally 0 minutes. When the output of range heating is set to 200 W, the settable time displayed on the picker displays B6 and B7 is naturally between 0 and 90 minutes, resulting in different output of range heating. Correspondingly, the top screen display control unit 62A appropriately changes the range of settable numerical values displayed on the display means 6, so that unnecessary operations for the user can be eliminated.
