When the reinforcing panel 42 having a depth (I) of 45 is attached to the decorative panel 41 having a plate thickness (J),
Since the margin of the decorative panel 41 fits inside the frame 43 by the depth (I) of the recessed portion 45, the thickness of the decorative panel 41 may be slightly increased. Alternatively, even if the decorative panel 41 is warped, the recesses 45 absorb the deviations vertically or horizontally, and the decorative panel 41 can be easily fitted to the frame 43.

Further, the reinforcing panel 42 originally supports and supports the decorative panel 41 from the rear side, and the wider the contact area is, the more stable the decorative panel 41 is. However, the reinforcing panel 42 according to the present invention. In this case, since it has the contact surface excluding the recessed portion 45, the front surface of the center of the decorative panel 41 after fitting is almost supported by the reinforcing panel 42 from the rear side. Even if 41 is pressed from the front side, it does not bend, and the same product quality as when using a single panel can be obtained.

It should be noted that the reinforcing panel 42 may be made of various panel materials. For example, when wood is used as shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral concave portion 45 has a depth (I). It suffices to cut only, and it is also possible to form the reinforcing panel 46 by using two metal plates as shown in FIG. In this case, a panel 48 having a joint flange 47 having an L-shaped cross section joined to the inner rear peripheral edge of the frame 43, and a support panel 50 having a concave flange 49 having a width (F) and a depth (I) at the peripheral edge. Are joined together to form the reinforcing panel 46. However, since it is necessary to easily fit the decorative panel 41, the joint flange 47
The dimension L is set so as to be located rearward of the front surface position (indicated by reference numeral N) of the convex portion of the support panel 50. Therefore, a gap P is provided between them.

FIG. 7 shows a drive circuit of the exhaust fan device attached to the rice cooker storage 1. In the figure,
52 is a switch of the rice cooker, and when this is turned on, the transformer
Power is supplied to the control circuit 57 of the rice cooker 2 through the 53, the diode rectifier 54, and the rectifying capacitors 55 and 56. Along with this, a timer circuit that controls a drive motor (fan motor) 58 of the exhaust fan operates.

That is, when power is supplied to the control circuit 57 of the rice cooker 2, the noise filter reset circuit including the diode 59, the capacitor 60, the resistor 61, and the capacitor 62 is used.
